Sounding like the new patch is pretty buggy. I tried to play a game on level 7 difficulty and got a hard crash. We were trying to do the ore extraction mission on Tibit, the drop ships were insane, totally outnumbered until my game crashed. We’ll see what tomorrow brings, but we might be back to some peak time crashing on the servers. Hopefully a quick patch might happen in the morning.
I’ve only ever had 1 or 2 hard crashes, but I get lots of “Connection lost/timeout”, sometimes 10 seconds in, sometimes just before extraction, or anytime inbetween. My Internet is solid and stable too (1.5Gbps on fiber)
I wish I had the option to just rejoin the same game.
The game even continues to work while the timer runs out, including voice chat and everything so it’s like there’s another keepalive that will boot you out when it misses a beat that’s independent from the actual server where the gameplay happens.
Otherwise, new bug that’s happened to me twice since the patch… getting yeeted all the way accross the map for seemingly no reason.
First time, I stepped on a long dead rocketpods bot and ended up flying for a good 10+ seconds, and eventually landed out of bounds in a glitchy graphics place.
Luckily, deserters get executed/timed out, so I respawned after.
Second time I was just going up a hill then got yote
back, flew for 4-5 seconds and almost died on the landing, got up, stimmed up, busted bots.
Crashing or getting timed out just before extraction on a 30min run is more annoying than friendly fire.
