Is anyone online?
I just got the worst crash ever during a match with bitewarrior.
It just said "Connection Lost" and I was gone.
Now, I can't even log onto the game. The client gets stuck at "Connecting to server...".
Just wondering if anyone else is getting this, or just me.
Edit to Add: Back on, now...lasted for about 2 minutes. Then it happened 2 more times.
This was just my internet connection though. One of those crawling kb/sec times. Just horrible. :S

Sometimes when people get disconnected for having internet problems their connection stays alive for a couple of minutes. Some games use a system to "kill" the connection in case you log in again (have you ever seen someone get disconnected from a game but his "avatar" was still there? that is the case). But by default, for security proposes, our engine keeps players from killing an active user connection if it is still online. This doesn't seem to be your case, but for whoever reads this, if you ever get disconnected and when trying to log back in you see something like "user name is taken", don't freak out. No one is hacking into your account =) Just wait a couple minutes and try again.

Oh, nice. Good to know! ^^

A couple minutes? It lasts for over half of an hour :) I'm watching right now my account sitting on the lobby doing nothing. The only thing I found which seems to work is to log with another account, then challenge the inactive "ghost".
MM, I think - honestly - you should work on crashes and "basic" problems like this because - as many of my friends say - it's bad to spend money on a game that crashes twice in an hour and gives problems to relog.
You know I love this game, but I have to admit that some problems are a bit annoying. Well, I think I should wait... "MM will fix it all" :)

The next update will come with several new options in the settings menu to enhance your cpu by toggling several game effects. I still haven't found the reason for the crashing bug, but as far as my tests went, reducing the graphic effects seems to reduce the chances of crashing. We will see.
