meateor Posted August 10, 2009 The lag screen for a player appeared immediately as match starts. We vote to drop. We vote on options. Game crashes and I am looking at the desktop. Hosting bot also shows that every player in the match left. No replay available. Go to top Share this post Link to post

PunKZ Posted August 25, 2009 Well... It's hard to do anything about without knowing what caused it.. Go to top Share this post Link to post
echinodermata Posted August 25, 2009 Hmmm. the game sometimes closes unpredictably and without warning for me, too. I have no idea whether it's correlated to anything in particular though. (like I said, unpredictably and without warning. maybe like every 5 games) Go to top Share this post Link to post
meateor Posted August 31, 2009 Looking at statistics from over 6000 bot-hosted games, roughly 2% of them lasted less than 30 seconds. This indicates a crash similar that described originally. Out of 1000 games starting with 8 players in them, 27 crashed at 30 seconds (2.7%). This relationship between more players and an above-average percentage of crashes could exist because the crash seems most likely to happen when a player drops during loading. More players, more chance of one dropping during load. Here is an example crash. A player drops and the game finishes loading with 7.
