If this doesn't convince you to implement auto-reconnect, then what will?

[hexed merlin]

Yes, this is a recurring post. And yes, we still want it since losing connection after a battle is the worst thing happening in a farming session. And YES, it's not a fun sight to come back after hours on a farming session only to see it not being able to connect after the 3rd or 4th battle when it was intended to run indefinitely until manually canceled.

I made a screenshot each time the game couldn't reconnect for a session of 30 battles. The result is what you can see in the attachment.

PLEASE consider implementing auto-reconnect. It doesn't even make sense that the game is asking us if we want to reconnect when it's completely obvious that we WANT to farm. The whole dialog box is a complete joke regarding that and throws even more salt into the wound.

[faint gyro]

i agree, auto-reconnect should've been added ever since we got auto rematch, there were so many random connect screens that back when i played i had to use an [thing that is against ToS] to reconnect the game for me, that's how bad it is

[subtle grove]

the game should actively discourage the use of things against ToS by finally introducing auto reconnection. Also It is a huge disadvantage for people with poor internet connection vs people with good since they miss out on farming stages compared to the latter. Seriously, if this problem is treated as some least important thing to introduce then it seems like devs just don't care about people having problems like this, a literal technical problem that people can't fix themselves without outside programs that are not allowed to use. Crazy.

To add onto the above message, it isn't even necessarily a poor internet connection issue. It's specifically a problem with this game. Perfect connection to discord, youtube, other games etc, but LW randomly has this issue.

And it's more apparent on some stages than others for whatever reason, and the A10 Sanae DS is one of those stages.

Given how much of this game is farming it should automatically reconnect, why would we want it to not? Just a pointless prompt and it should automatically reconnect without player input.

[hexed merlin]

Yes, it's definitely a problem with the game. After I made the screenshots I went on to farming the current event again with no problems at all. I don't know if there's some spaghetti in the code for the stages where it's happening or whatever. The problem is not on my end.

[sonic kiln]

you might want to bring that up to CS then.

[high sundial]

To add to the "a problem of the game", when I farm using wifi, even though it is a stable wifi, it loses connection, when I instead use mobile data, which where I live is extremely stable, it still loses connection, in the rare occasion I use an emulator on my PC to per example record a video or whatever, the game, yet again loses connection, with Ethernet, it seems almost like some kind of joke.

[high sundial]

Not really, if you know how CS is, you will know that they will just say you have bad internet and move on, it would not be the first time.

[sonic kiln]

not if you have evidence to the contrary. As long as you provide enough details, they usually listen. The only roadblock is that yes, they will mostly like make you do everything you've already done with testing different connections, but that's simply how a business has to work.

Also I mention bringing this up to CS is because you're talking about something that is potentially a bug with the game, then that is where it needs to go. Yeah you can suggest auto-reconnect all you want, but that isn't going to fix the fact that there might actually be a problem with the stage on the server side and CS would love to know about that.

[high sundial]

Believe me, this kind of cases are not taken seriously, the first run of the event "Capsuled Gensokyo" had the rates of it's card extremely low the second week even though there was supposed to be drop rate up, we were multiple players farming it, there were tons of evidence of that the drops were not set correctly, various people took the case to CS, with tons and tons of evidence, screenshots of a lot of different people, you know what CS said? "You simply have bad luck".

[sonic kiln]

because if is bugged and it isn't fixed, you might have a situation where even if auto reconnect is implemented is just...will freeze and not do anything.

I mean the suggestion for auto reconnect is good. But CS doesn't read these so the part about the stage having connection issues will not be addressed. just an FYI

[high sundial]

Well, this is much more complex than a bug, the devs might be aware to certain point of it, I don't doubt that, it's been talked a lot. Taking it to CS won't do anything.

[subtle grove]

Sending the issue about particular stages disconnecting the game is a good idea though, it's not like one would have to send their phone to the devs or invite them to their home for them to check the problem. I actually haven't even heard about particular stages disconnecting the game before

But the suggestion is still good, no matter the problem. Sure it is kinda a plastic tape instead of a fix but a timer for pop up that activates the reconnection (that would work considering a button works anyways, and there's a fail safe already [kicking out into menu] so there's no way for perpetual cycles of reconnections) is better than nothing

[mint surge]

This stage/problem is really bizarre too. In previous situations I've heard people specifically refer to trying out different characters to farm with which seems like outright code spaghetti. Why would some characters be smooth saling while others constantly result in the reconnect message?

But that's exactly what I've been experiencing on this stage. My main farm team of Blumu, Prae, and L80 Sakuya never had the disconnect message with over 200 clears and counting however with my second team of L80 Youmu, F1 Koishi, and B2 Junko? They've gotten the reconnect screen as frequently as Cyro in far less clears than 200. It feels like it happens on every or every other clear. Which makes me think for one reason or another the victory animtion causes the issue or something but specifically on this stage?

I asked Cyro earlier what his team was in the screenshots and he said: Bluemu, Prae and Mistress, and if my main team was that with Mistress Remi over Sakuya and I never had issues then it'd imply that Remi is bugged in some way and causes the problems on this stage.

Also as a byproduct, one character on my second farm team is causing the connect issue. This is all of course assuming my theory is correct of course. I've seen people farming with Junko already and I've seen people farming with Youmu already, so I'm guessing the bugged character in my comp 2 is White Koishi.

Can anyone else back up or verify potential comps they've had and used when using characters and had connection issues?

[twilit flume]

yeah it is a problem with the game and it is quite likely that it is also related to specific chars. i remember running 3-3-3 farm with a long time back and getting awfully frequent disconnects very specifically in that situation

i don't recall frequent disconnects on the 2-7-1 farm though, so maybe it's both character and stage dependent

[shy jungle]

I do remember having to keep reconnecting with comps that used E1 Flandre before and it can be annoying, especially on VS DS: Sanae A10.

I will say that I haven't had bad experiences with CS, like with fixing an issue for Chapter 4 Act 2 where the Dragon Marisa had Yang DEF up when boosting which wasn't the case in JP, and was enough to mess up some Yang based comps back then (this was back in Feb 2023).

But yeah, it can be annoying for me to constantly have to reconnect, especially when I am multitasking, but I guess I chalked it up to internet failing occasionally until recently, when it is more about the game (and possibly specific characters) rather than internet.

[cosmic axle]

It's a weird thing because most of (if not all) the online games I have ever played will try to reconnecting itself first before asking me what to do now if it can't. Like the game from the era of 201x already done that so then why a game that just came out 3 years ago can't?

As for the reason why this occurs to some character than others, my guess is that some of the character has a much more convoluted and detailed sc animation than others, so they required more data package to load. I got this error on A8 Reisen more than others, and look at Reisen sc, its animation consist of many balls and bullets over the place, so my speculation is it have something to do with her sc.

[hexed merlin]

To give an update to this, it's happening again with the vs L1 Eiki Stage. On top of that it's even WORSE than the vs L1 Sanae Stage with the amount of reconnect Popups after nearly every battle. If anyone else is experiencing the same issue on the Stage, my comp consists of F1shi and MVYoumu.

[twilit gyro]

I am newbie, use all l1 units, farming hardstage on current event. buy monthly to support dev. Autodisconnect is happen most likely 50% of time. Today is between 2 of 4 and 3 of 4 disconnect. Dev should aply auto-reconnect function, 2 or 3 times before pop up showing.
