    Can anyone help me with this? I've been trying to level up my rank for the last few weeks but I'm getting battered back down constantly by PA crashing to desktop in about half of the 1v1 games I start to play. I reload the game only for it to stick at the login accepted page, or sometimes for it to begin to load the planets but crash again... am I right in thinking that this inevitably leads to the match counting as a loss as I can't reconnect? I actually tried last night reconnecting to the same match for about 20 minutes, just to see what would happen, and it said I was assigned to the game every time. I'm not sure what the other guy was experiencing, was he getting the 'if your partner doesn't reconnect this match will count as a victory message' for 20 minutes as I was trying and failing to reconnect (or in all cases crashing AFTER reconnecting)?

    Thanks for any insight anyone can offer!

    Yeah, I think you are right. If you get disconnected (or crash), your opponent will see the message that you have disconnected and the 180 second time will start. And once you reconnect, that timer will indeed reset.

    Which version of Mac OS X are you on? Yosemite?

    I have had some cases where if I crashed at the beginning of a match (before spawning) and the game started while I was away the game didn't pause. Chrono cam would show my opponent going through his build order getting a 1 to 3 minute head start.



    Would if both players disconnect? How does that get handled?
