Hi i keep experiencing multiplayer disconnects.

3 times in the last hour, it would send a bye bye message to my opponent and neither of us can progress.

There should be a way to rejoin games which you may have disconnected from.

Oh, I've had 2 people quite the game and say exactly "bye bye" also, and I thought one of them left and said "bye bye" and then the other decided to leave also and just said the same thing coincidentally. If that is actually THE GAME saying that when people get inadvertently disconnected due to a bug or networking glitch it is very misleading. The game should say "<DISCONNECTED: Game desynchronization error>" or something to indicate unambiguously that an actual error has occurred which a user then has a chance to post a bug or status report about. If it just says "bye bye" though, most users are going to think that the other player just said "bye bye" and left the game and not even know there was a problem.

I'm a software developer and a technical person myself and it would have taken me a while to realize "bye bye" was not being said by other players prematurely existing the game. So I've definitely had games terminated by whatever causes this.

Good to know it wasn't people just leaving early or rage-quitting though.

Yeah, the last two games I was in ended that way sadly. I'd rather see an error saying "Game synchronization error, disconnecting..." though than "bye bye" :)

As would I! I assumed the person had to leave hastily rather than disconnected lol

Ok so i've not been able to complete a single match now, due to random disconnects.

It's a shame as the game is otherwise great. :(

I had one really good but short 1 quest game about an hour or so ago that we made it all the way through. In the last 15 minutes or so though I started 2 games and within only a few minutes of play the other person messaged me to tell me they were in battle and couldn't click on anything to get out of it, then exited with "bye bye !"

I haven't personally encountered such a hang myself yet, but it seems common for others as that's the 4th or so time it's happened in a game. Kind of sucks gamewise but it's all part of the beta testing process ultimately. It'll probably get smoother as the game gets polished.

I'll get back to testing this soon :) I was thinking that perhaps what is occuring(as I also haven't been disconnected myself) is that when a disconnect occurs, both parties continue playing their own separate game.

Yeah, that's very likely too. I just realized that when a game disconnects the other players may see "bye bye !" from me and I wouldn't even know either way, so it's possible. :)
