Siege Engine Gunner Disconnect Bug

Support Bug Report
1

Whenever you’re riding in Siege Gunner in IoC and the siege engine goes over a lot of uneven terrain you always get disconnected. It’s very annoying when you click “Reconnect” since the BG loading screen just sits there and you have to exit game and reconnect, then the scoreboard is missing damage and other metrics, it only has HKs and Deaths, but that’s a separate bug altogether.

This seems to be related to a lot of other complains of people getting disconnected more frequently in DF with dragons landing on uneven terrain.

This still hasn’t been resolved.

Even sitting in a Siege Engine and then switching seats results in an immediate disconnect. Blizzard Entertainment, have you found a solution yet?

I doubt it ever will be, I honestly never get this in WG, it’s only IoC, it happens with almost all vehicles, but siege is worst. Doesn’t matter if you’re alliance or horde. Doesn’t seem to happen with guns on airship.

I 100% believe it’s related to their ground detection code that prevents hackers from going under ground.
