Any way to reconnect while in-game after few sec drop?

Post by GruntGG »

Hello guys,

So the thing is that I am right now living in a temporary residence (perhaps still for some months) where the Internet speed is good but the connection is really unstable. This means that many times (way too often and in a totally unpredictable manner) the connection drops for no more than 5 seconds. If I am in the lobby (on ESO) I get kicked out (which is annoying but still ok) but if I am in-game the timer starts and, although my Internet is fully functional before the countdown hits 50 sec left before I get kicked, the game does not seem to reconnect and I am unable to continue the match. I can open the browser and navigate the web without any problems few seconds after my connection dropped but the game somehow is not able to get it back together and I am just dropping after the min of waiting.

Would there be anyone who would know what could I do to be able to continue the game after those few seconds of connection drop? Few days ago I was able to make it work if I was manually disconnecting from the Wi-Fi that just crashed and reconnecting to it again, then the game would restore the connection as well and I would be able to continue the match. However, after the latest Windows 10 update (not sure if it is related) this method is not working anymore. :sad:

I would like to know if there is some similar method as the one that I explained above that would allow me to continue with the match. I have no way of improving my Internet connection while in this temporary residence so solutions like "get a better internet provider" are not an option.

Thank you and I hope that someone has some trick that can make this work. I can't really play AoE3 like that... :pop:

Cheers!

Most of the times if your connection drops in-game your opponent would pick between kick you or not, most of the times they kick you xD

I think this is a very good point, you might just be getting kicked.

I have actually been accused of cheating in an unrated game before. So I guess there might also be people who kick in unrated games

Yeah, you have a good point there. I guess if they kick me I am not able to see it in any way. However, I have also played some unrated games with friends and I know for sure they didn't kick me and still I could not reconnect.

I guess I can't do anything about it. If someone comes out with a solution please write it down here!

Cheers!

Cuz maybe they wait 1 minute till your connection comes back and the game just auto-kick you

No, in that case I have Internet connection 5 sec after the drop, so it is the game that is not reconnecting. Anyway, thanks NekoBerk, Pecelot and Eaglemut.
