Dropouts

During this past week, has anybody else noticed the number of times players “drop out” of a battle? Nearly half of the battles I’m playing, at least 25% of the players disappear as the game starts.

In levi invasions, a half dozen times, we had 4 players started up, but then one never loads, another disappears, and there’s just 2 of us left. You know how that ends. In evolution, during half of those battles, 8 players were listed, but when it starts up, there’s only 4-5 of us still on the list. Same with BFU; both teams start with 4 people, then all of a sudden, either my or the other team loses 2 players early on. Something’s going on.

This should be worth 3 days of premium as compensation! :neutral_face:

I always have a long loading screen for the first battle, then spawn in late into whatever battle it wanted me in. Not to mention the queue times.

Once I am in battle and then go into the next one it’s usually pretty fast though. The moment I leave series of battles for any reason, the long queue and loading screen happens again upon retrying.

Maybe the other people are having similar problems?

Just an hour or two tops i was in this battle and i found it strange, basically it was a patrol mission in next step mission

normally there are bots in the teams like in any another mode.
normally there are who that give up a game if i the other team has a certain build / player…
but i never saw this at this level
probably problems at the players side?
One of them is listed i the game but it’s not on the final scoreboard

The thing is, it’s been happening too often this entire week. Even as recently as 10 minutes ago, we started an evolution with 8 players listed during the ten second countdown; when the battle actually started, only 5 names were shown, one of whom was shaded out as if he was still loading in. He never fully materialized. Maybe the XO virus is really, for real? :grimacing:

Targem is trying to forcefully push the 6vs6 on PC by purposely degrading the server quality.

Nah, things like that were happening even 6 years ago
Mostly because Yandex servers are shit, and entire RU region is hosted exclusively on Yandex servers

It speaks for itself about crossout how this is something that could be 100% real and true

These past 4-6 days I’ve noticed this a lot too, and before that for like 2-3 weeks I had some noticeable frame rate dropping for no reason and rarely some extreme ping spikes, like the match does not even start and the timer just switches between two seconds going back and forth between numbers rther than ticking down.

I am guessing they’re having some server issues or something, we used to get server maintenance with every pass and update but have not seen that lately, maybe the devs gave up trying even further, sure feels like it with the pass spam and meh crafting bench on anniversary. I doubt they’ll fix anything by this point, just throw out money milk passes and let the game just rot and die

Those people who dont load in at start of match, they still show up with 0 score on end of match scoreboard :man_facepalming:

had targem revert its matchmaking to the one prior to supercharged update where it always fill (and flatten the PS slope of) the lobby with bots, none of this stupid drop-out and absurd PS slope of every match would’ve happened.

alternatively, make ai bots fill the slots of disconnected players the same way they fill the lobby substituting bots with players.

I’m waiting for the day when a mission starts and they make a mistake and replace me with a bot.

Spent 20 minutes (twice) trying to get into levi invasions. Gave up (twice). :face_with_diagonal_mouth: 15 minutes (twice) trying to get into Prototypes brawl. Gave up (twice). :face_with_diagonal_mouth: Came back a coupla hours later, still ain’t in after waiting 12 minutes so far. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

No comment from developers? Are they even aware of this?

No problem getting into regular missions.

Well i am one of those folks. If i see PS 2k more than i am, i will leave. I am not cannon fodder

Good luck getting resources then, You won’t be getting a lot of them this way.

Better go honk at friends in the garage (if you have any). That’ll be your best bet for any materials. :laughing:

man I HATE the useless forum bot…

Smells like a skill issue

i saw what you’re deleted @MudnBeer

Funny how “i don’t have skills” yet i don’t see you being in the top-100 on at least 1 BfU :yawning_face:

8 vs 3

Incompetent devs and their broken game.
