Server Timing Out

[Warlic 0]

Last week some time I played a lengthy game on combe for over two hours and repeatedly the server closed the connection. Occasionally this does happen however what made this different was time between reconnecting and losing connection appeared to be very regular. Also the other players in the game were quite friendly with each other, one joined my team when some the independent affiliates of my team left and when it was only me on the blue side and then this group continued to ask me to leave the game which is what made me suspicious of this issue because I'd been in the match a lot longer than most of them so would soon be entitled to a lot of the final crystal sum and there is no regular reason to ask someone to leave a game especially if they've been in it a lot longer than you and earned a good majority of the battle fund. However I have had trouble with my internet a bit lately but everything that night was fully functioning as usual apart from this game and I had a good FPS of 55-60 before the three delinquants joined.

Eventually it timed out permanently and I had to load tanki again and join the game through the game interface rather than refreshing the url which caused my score to reset and even then I kept getting asked to leave the game and stop joining and still lost my connection regularly. The final straw was at the end of the game where I lost connection with 9 seconds to go but I still got around 500 crystals even without staying til the very end of the game which I guess is down to the programming if you're unknowingly disconnectedbut this was still a large LARGE disappointment considering the perserverance of trying to keep loading the game and coming back from a 21 - 44 flag deficit to get to 100 flags first. I was extremely peeved after this because that was the longest game I've played and it was all for partially no gain. I think I still have two of the players noted down somewhere and will edit them in later.

I'm not sure whether it was them or not but I'm 70% sure if not, I'd like feedback on how to stop this from happening because it is of course very frustrating as tanki already puts a lot of strain on my laptop.

 

Best Wishes,
