Got killed and nothing...

February 5, 2020

Got killed. Screen went black. Heard my killer run down to me and lot me. And he/she ran away. Screen still black. And nothing happens. ALT F4. Start the game over and i come to the screen that says im still in a raid. Since im dead i know that the game will crash if i reconnect as it always have done in the past. So i leave the game. Do i come back to the menu, no. ALT F4... Can i enter the menu now? Hell no. Is it net code? Connection server side? Server build up? Something is really poorly done still.

What bothers me is that this happens too often. Devs has to work as firemen and put out fires that still keeps starting here and there. The work is reactive, when it should be proactive. You have to do double work all the time. Make a fix, then fix the fix and so on. Change work style and reorganize the work process.

And compared to other games were bugs in-game is biggest problem, with EFT its always something with the connection. Cant connect to menu, cant enter map, long waiting time, lag in-game and not to forget... disconnected from server. And don't come with the "lots of new players" issue. A expanding game should have a plan for expanding ie how many servers is needed for this amount of players, bandwidth and so on. Or is it wait and huh... what do we need? Or will it continue to be like this for a year or two?
