There’s a lot of bugs and problems that happens with servers. They exists since before the Nader update as far as I remember, but they were never fixed (even with the most recent updates) :
- The phantom players bug : wrong number of players displayed, and players are prevented from joining the game when the game is not full. Reloading the server list does not update the number of players in the server.
- Random server ejection when the game starts : sometimes the server decides to throw a random player back to the main menu for no reason.
- Normal Termination/Connection refused/Other message : when joining a server, the server may decide to not let you enter, displaying a message : “Normal Termination”, “Connection Refused” are the only two I remember, but I know there’s a lot more messages possible.
The first issue is a serious and game breaking one, as it will simply prevent players to fill a server : some people won’t be able to play, and penalities will be triggered. The two other problems are not a big deal in game, but are still really annoying.
Please fix them : it really hurts the in game experience. It will discourage a lot of players from coming back when DB will hit Open Beta.
