First, some background.
In my area the mains power is very unstable. It sometimes drops to even around 160V (it's supposed to be 230V). My PC, the Wimax router and everything else around goes nuts, breaking whatever i'm doing (mostly SK and other games).
To counter that i recently bought an UPS - the brownouts rarely affect my gaming experience anymore.
But, you know... "Fix one thing, just for another one to break" - the story of my life...
With the raising temperatures i'm having more and more overheating issues - my PC often hangs-up while doing CPU-intensive tasks (like SK). The case is open all the time, the fans get cleaned every once in a while, yet that seems not enough to prevent the overheating.
If this happens while i'm in Haven, that's fine - nothing lost... but it usually happens while i'm in the Clockworks.
In the past i was often able to reset the PC, reload Windows, start SK and re-connect to my previous session. Even if i found my knight dead, i at least had the option to revive and continue.
Nowadays though, even when i reboot immediately, cancel all delays, skip all the disk scans, kill the unneeded starting programs, etc. - i can't continue even a single SK session.
The moment i see the town square loading screen, i kill the game and don't get back for hours. I am just too frustrated and feel like throwing my PC through the window.
I bet there are many others experiencing the same.
To help us out, would you increase the timeout for disconnected players, please?
And don't start the dead timer if the player is disconnected? Or, even better, apply invulnerability to disconnected knights, so we don't die in the first place?
Not sure if trolling....
