RECONNECT DOESN'T WORK

[Pizza Dog]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IMPROVE THE RECONNECT FEATURE. IT'S CRAP.

Yeah if I get DC'd now (rare) I don't even bother trying to reconnect now.

What kind of issues do you have with reconnect? I only have 20 hrs or so and yesterday my game crashed. When I reconnected, I could shoot and look around but movement was extremelly buggy: my character was laggy and movement felt as if I had a high ping (which I didn't have since the top right corner ping meter was 30ms)

it gets worse than that.
You can load in with no sound and no textures, including the ground - you can see (and shoot) everyone on the map.
You can load in ultra laggy
You can fail load and just get 'stuck' in one spot
you can face an infinite loading screen.

And that was just Tuesday.
(Kidding I haven't had a disconnection in weeks)

It does work...sometimes lol.

Yeah, usually you get one of if not multiple of the issues like listed above. Honestly I've had to restart the game like half a dozen times and usually it EVENTUALLY works but I mean by then you are already dead generally because of Hunt's long and unskippable startup sequence.

Actually, the guy above didn't even list all the problems you can have.

You can also reconnect and be de-synced from the world, causing you to hit objects that are dozens of meters away from their actual location, meaning you need someone to literally tell you where to go or what you are hitting to progress to so much as an extraction.

Another problem is it might connect and disable most if not all sounds, making the game of course unplayable competitively.

when the game crashes you better off find another one immediately than trying to reconnect with all those restarts that won't help anyway.

Oh... thank you for the comprehensive list. Now I know what to expect next time I might have a reconnect. Now that I read all of the options, I actually was like... stuck in one spot but I could move, but VERY laggy and buggy. I moved like at 2x speed but not really, as I would be taken back to the original spot. I managed to down an enemy as I just held and angle, then I got traded by his friend who pushed me as I couldn't move

It was pretty anticlimatic the whole thing, we just got the bounty (I was holding one of them) and we were about to gank 2 different parties fighting each other. Then I crashed and when I came back, my friends were dead and I saw "this". Anyway, at least now I know it's a "known" issue
