Lost connection in Mercenaries

I noticed yesterday on my first MP run in Merc that each time I was in the shipyard and trying to swap frame I got disconnected from the server when I was in the frame configuration screen.

It happened twice and always in the same condition.

I tried accessing the config screen of my talon (started as mercenary career) and all was fine.

Dunno what can cause it.

Anything I might try Vice?

yeah I have noticed this too.
Doesn't happen all the often for me but seems 90% of the time if I get a disconnection, it is when in the shipyard.

I have no problem with the connection. For me, it is way better than Legends...

Connection while gaming is better for me too, but I never had any disconnection in EL.

Guess there is something in the shipyard that cause problems on some ends, Vice will have a look into this.

What I may try is accelerating the idle packet rate in sections of the game like that. Beyond that, it will probably come down to the quality and reliability of the line being used.

Hmmm... I tryed both speedtest.net and pingtest.net and my line is of very good quality.

The server is the one run by MM where everyone is so if others don't have problems.... I guess it's more related to some ends.

Any other thing that may get in the way apart from line?

The remote location between server and client can sometimes have an effect. A faster packet rate for the shipyard may help a bit (that way there's a lower risk of needed UDP packets being lost/dropped).

Well, I'll wait for next update and see.
