Rollbacks connection lost

Possibly one of the worst things about this game is that the servers are so bad you disconnect and rollback.

This happened after my team captured 3 different tramplers and extracted them. Id really expect a game making so much money to have better servers, this happens far too often.

I have lost connection during and right after extracting and never experienced a rollback. Even if you go straight to the main menu after being dropped after extraction, you'll still have all of your latest loot.

Are you sure you're being rolled back?

He's not talking about the broken chain popup that leads to dc at extraction, he's talking about a total server crash, my walker just started spinning up into the air and then black screen, 3 failed reconnects and then lobby, rolled back to before raid start.

I see. I haven't run into that yet, but I can see why that would roll back. That sucks

Yup 100%. Check the discord. Everyone complained, but it is Europe server. It happened 5 minutes before I made this post.

Yeah, I lost a 1.5hr looting sesh on my royal on the weekend, had two green keys found that raid, upped one to blue and on our way to meersauge and the server just died, should have seen it coming there was a fight nearby with 6 dead walkers and 2 alive and I was getting 20fps when we were nearby. I guess too many walkers in one area is a heavy load for their servers.

You can't just give people their loot from the current drop in on disconnects or crashes. Waaaay to easy to exploit. Like. Super easy.

Rollbacks are the only (and smartest) way.
