Author Topic: Disco'd in a 262 (Read 796 times)

This is the second time it's happened to me.
Normally I don't disco, but out of the 3 times I have playing this game, two have been flying the 262.

I just lost 240 points. Is there any way I can get these points back since it wasn't on my end?

I sympathize sir but - "Fat Chance!"

Normally when you get discoed it is on your end.

See my post about disco's in the bug reports forum.

There is no way to tell random disconnect from intentional. If you doubt about your connect and dont want to loose perks, dont fly perked planes.

I'll agree here. I never disco and the only discos I have ever come across are when I'm in a 262. Its at the worst times too, when I'm up at high altitudes and gunning down enemies...

What a bad solution.

I don't doubt my connection at all. Never said that either. I'm running an 8MB cable connection through Comcast, and I do not disconnect from any other game I play.
I'll continue to fly perk planes, but this is ridiculous if these points can't be refunded.

Think I already lost 3 262s due to gamecrashes, at least 2 times when I looked in the direction of a bomberformation which just opened fire*(tracers flying).

*NO! I was not hit!

It happens and I dont think they refund. Iv lost a few thousand becuase of discos over the years. What I do now is log off and restart my internet and make sure its running good then I hop into my jet.

I'm about as far away as you can get from the HTC servers. I can't remember the last time I disco'd, or even lost udp. First point I'd note is you run cable. Cable is a share media and subject to spikes because of other traffic on the same segment.

In the last 10 months you've 'discoed' 24 times.

I'm doubting your connection.

Unwritten rule paragraph 15 sub section 103/b

Make sure 99.8% of disco's occur while the customer is in a perked plane.
