Reconnecting after patch release

Technical Support
1

I was playing comp today when my game started to show packet loss warnings. Sure enough, I disconnected 5-10s later. However, I found I was unable to reconnect to the server, and quickly discovered that the cause was that a new patch had just been issued. Installing this patch prevented me from reconnecting to the previous game, even though it was still in progress, and as such I took the temporary suspension and 50sr loss

Obviously this is a pretty niche bug and is unlikely to ever happen to me again, but could something be done to allow reconnecting on the previous patch when a game is in progress?

Thanks

Nope. Once the install starts you can’t go back. Because then you’d be on the wrong patch and if you can’t rejoin the game but reque… what then. it would be a mess.

Like you say, a niche bug, and sadly one you’ve just got to laugh about and move on with.
