FIX RECONNECTING

[play em like atari]

reconnecting system is broken. literally 25% chance to reconnect or exit game and try again

It would be good if it gave a progress bar and/or technical details on the reconnect process. Reconnect hasnt been too bad for me, only a handful that have taken ages.

well ive just dropped from loading location to menu for 2 times straight, but other times trying to reload it takes infinite time so i just exit game and trying again until it works. ur suggestion sounds good if i can see that progress of loading, cuz it feels like it stuck sometimes

This reconnect function is literal trash. I've never experienced anything so terribly coded and then just straight ignored in my life.
Of the handful of times I've had to reconnect, it has not once worked as intended. A 0% success rate is ridiculous.
Take some pride in finding a fix Crytek.
Nobody needs more hunter skins when the core game is in this kind of state

DarkTide had a working reconnect feature in Alpha state.
Then theres Crytek, 5 years after full release still infinity loading screen bug, without the option to reconnect properly. Good Job you're doing there Crytek.

For me only once did the actual game server die in mid game, and i got my hunter back with no item loss + some progression from the match.
Other times I've been able to reconnect fine? Like my ISP exploded, so I hooked up phone internet to get back in... worked.

Perhaps the thing that caused the disconnect in the first place, prevented your reconnecting as well?

Yeah for me is the same it freezes kicks me to desktop and takes forever to reconnect. It's worse if you play with a team I think...

[dvair]

Partner got disconnected last week, came right back in with no issues. When it works right its a good thing to have.

And sometimes when you do manage to reconnect, structures and houses are invisible.

Next time you DC... open task manager and kill the hunt process that's still running in the background, then restart via steam and reconnect... works 100% of the time.

It worked for me the last few times I had to reconnect.

That doesnt help

[Neddie]

It is definitely finnicky. When I have to reconnect (Usually from the game crashing to desktop), I usually have to do 3 or 4 attempts with a computer restart to get it to work, and when I get back in, either the sound is messed up, or it feels like I am lagging all over the place. I would definitely like to see it improved, but I am glad we are no longer guaranteed to lose our hunter if our games crash or we lose internet.

[Unknown]

It probably is the worst implemented thing in the game. I'd still rather have it in it's current state than just losing your hunter, but it's very slow. If I didn't know better, I would just assume it's not working most of the time and give up. But I know if you wait long enough, it'll reconnect, that is, if the match is still going on.

[CornedBeef]

I have found that it usually only reconnects after the bounty's have left the match or until there is only one team left. Rarely does it reconnect immediately unless you crashed before the match starts.
