I was just playing on what I think may have been a dedicated server. The Host was Dedicated but the description indicated otherwise. Playing on the server was fine, one of the lowest ping servers in Australia, but when the map changed everyone would have their connections dropped. I have a suspicion (based on there often being one person re-connected before myself) that it was a dedicated server running on a home network and that person connecting was somehow choking bandwidth. My question is, what is the disconnect timeout, and can it be adjusted without a patch?
I think you're right. I bet you were on this guy's server. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... st20349658
