    Why does it take so long to get back in game after a D/C

    This is the only game I have ever played where if your power blinks for 1 sec or your ISP has a 1 second issue you get locked out fo the game for roughly 15 minute. Why is that?

    I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

    For some reason, after certain types of connection loss, your souless husk of a character just stands around for 15 minutes and keeps you locked out, since you're already there.

    We call it Coma D/C.

    The servers seem to be prgrammed to wait that long before they time you out, it should just be a simple number change in the server program to shorten the timer, but who knows lol

    I was having this problem previously, but after the last patch, I have been able to log back on instantly, and the number of times I have DC'd had gone down dramatically. I would practically DC once or twice an hour before, now it's rare to happen unless I afk in a city for a while.

    When this happens to me I just try to log in once, and then it says that it failed.
    And after that it works. Everytime! =D

    Pretty sure on this as well, it should be set to 5 mins at the most to time you out. Surely a change to this wouldn't be too difficult.

    simply put; because your character is still on the server and you can't have two instances of the same character on the server at the same time. The server is waiting on a response from your PC, until the server has decided that it's been long enough w/out a response that you must be disconnected, your character is standing there doing nothing.
