In the world of dedicated servers....

Hey,

in the old world, if I got "Host has disconnected", that meant killer had DC'd. What does that mean now?

Thanks!

    Good question. In games with Dedicated Servers, that typically means a hamster probably just died of a heart attack. I would assume it to mean the same thing here: a server hiccup, just that BHVR didn't change the announcement text.

    To be fair, I sometimes even get that in Overwatch, which has good servers and netcode, and my internet is still active and fine.

    I get these messages at the end of a game; usually as killer...?

    Probably text hasn't changed. However, dedicated servers are Hosts so in a way it makes sense.

    @Supernaut That's probably because when the match ends, you're usually jumping server segments from the match portion back to the lobby portion, so you're being disconnected from the one.

    OK, so if i'm in the post game and i get a message similar to that...?

  • Kilmeran Kilmeran

    @Supernaut Depends. Is the game still running? Are you still in queue or able to queue? If so, then it's probably just a bug in the code triggering and sending out a false message.

    If no to the above, then the server dumped you. Which I wouldn't find to be unexpected right now since they are merely testing Dedicated Servers and the Netcode clearly needs some work.

    You mean in post-game chat, or as a pop-up? If it's a pop-up, refer to what Kilmeran said. In the post-game chat, I've been observing in my games and I suspect the server automatically disconnects the chat after a certain amount of time has passed with no one saying anything, presumably to open the servers up more for new games.

    @Fibijean Ah, yeah, that. I've experienced that. I am in the post-game screens, I get the disconnect notification, then flicker back to the post game screens but chat is no longer working.

    I basically assumed the same thing. The server disconnected that segment due to inactivity.
