One major problem with the new beta is that if I get disconnected from my ISP WP3 won't let me log back in again.
I can't see why the client won't let me log in. Its not as if you're still a subscription service and the same username attempting to log on at the same time is a major security issue, as it just isnt one anymore, especially with open access looming.
As the ISP ethos has changed, so that being logged off prematurely is becoming frequent for anyone using a "free" ISP, the WP client should adapt. If you're attempting to log on and are already logged on elsewhere it shouldn't be a problem anymore. And if Wireplay isn't going to allow us to use other programs (i.e. Gamespy) it means that I can't play until the remote server decides that it wants to let me in which is very frustrating.
Could you fix this for the next build? At the moment I'm having to create a new log on every time my ISP decides to disconnect me in the middle of the game rather than waiting half an hour just to get back in.
Ta all.
