Second time I play heavily with the 1.4 patch. I joined a 24/7 Karkand, packed with 50 people, with the no vehicles option to see what that is about.

Anyway, it got weird when we weren't able to make squads at some point. Very 1.2, just one squad available for everyone. Then, at some random moment, I get a "Problem with your connection" message. I know my connection was fine so I immediatelly thought the server had crashed. But then, the oddest thing is that my screen went back to normal, but I saw like 12,359 disconnection messages of the other players. I then checked the player screen and I was the only one left on my team, and on the other team there were 5-6 players left. We were all very confused. As if a nuke had taken out the whole server and we were the only ones left alive. It was pretty funny cause everyone was closeby so it just looked like a massacre.

Anyway, slowly people reconnected, and I managed to hold the flags we had with claymores and sniper, but still what kind of crash was that?? Anyone else seen this?

Are you sure they didn't just disconnect themselves when they thought the server had crashed?

It could have been what we used to call a "net-split."  That is where certain ISPs / regions would drop all traffic.  They still occur, but are not as  bad as they used to be, I'm talking early '90s...  I don't think that was a server crash...

Maybe a root server went down?

Yea I guess it might've been unrelated to the server... but I don't think 44 out of 50 people would chose to disconnect themselves. It would probably be a lower number. Besides when people came back they were complaining about the crappy server and how it was very bugged.

are you sure it wasn't 12,358? 12,359 just doesn't make any sense?!?

I've seen at least twice where it's:

Randomn00b1 has been disconnected from the server.
Randomn00b2 has been disconnected from the server.
Randomn00b3 has been disconnected from the server.
Randomn00b4 has been disconnected from the server.
Randomn00b5 has been disconnected from the server.
Randomn00b6 has been disconnected from the server.

But I never get the connection error. It's pretty weird... oh well.
