For some reason my game just totally froze, so i quit it, and came back, and again no option to reconnect. What would cause my game to freeze? EXTREMELY frustrating to do any ranked play. As that will count as a loss for me I imagine.
That sounds like a server crash. If you don't get a reconnect option, that means that the server is just gone. Since it crashed, that won't count as a loss.
I believe @cola_colin has been experiencing a similar issue and is trying to figure out the cause. Perhaps he'd be willing to help you to see if it is the same, so you can provide Uber reproduction information for the bug? Edit: Perhaps not
Yesterday it was crashy. Today in the new PTE it did not crash in the 3 games I played. My crashes actually bring down the whole game as well, so it does not just freeze, it freezes at first but after a few seconds "PA.exe stopped working" happens. Also I am on windows, I think @liamdawe is on linux
Yeah, I am on Linux, so it may not be the same issue we are having. I'm always running it in Terminal now to see if I can catch anything.
