FAF Connection Drop Message

[Flynn]

Seriously, this is really annoying. Why when the connection drops does FAF just act like nothing has happened and leave me wondering why it won't find an automatch It would really be beneficial if there was a message that came up like "your internet connection has dropped" rather than just leaving us wondering what the hell is going on!

It's written "offline" on every tab when you are disconnected. And a popup appears. Can't do much more.

It only does this 50% of the time

You've probably have a antivirus, firewall or similar acting up, making the lobby unable to detect that the connection was dropped.

It's more than probable that it always cause the drop in the first place, as the server is up all the time, you shouldn't have ANY drop at all. (ie my lobby is running for 4 days non stop here).

I think he means the "preparing automatch" screen if somebody aborted the game or have no connection to him.
I have this every 5th time I guess...

not a big deal Flynn ... if an automatch game doesn't start after 30 sec - abort the game and try again ...
(its only annoying if you get connected everytime to the same player with the same issue - and especially while you miss a good/interesting opponent)...
