I dont know about you but sometimes it takes me AGES to join a server, sometimes I just dont - I stay in perpetual waiting to join a team mode. A retry always sorts it - but after one such incident I checked my console, this was what I saw:

Netchan_CheckForCompletion: Lost/dropped fragment would cause stall, retrying connection

Is this the reason behind it all? What does it do?

I always retry after a bit, u can just tell that sometimes something is up :|

Its partly due to the netcode and partly due to WP servers not being very good. If you play on BW or any other GSP it takes a few seconds to join, not a few minutes.

one word(or maybe 2) Bullsh1t!!1!1

it has nothing to do with the wp servers, its down to the dod code, and the should be fixing it in the next patch.

Regardless of what you've heard, we are not sipping boat drinks on a remote beach. In fact we are working very hard to fix all of the bugs in Beta 2.0 and progress is being made. Mugsy has found the source of the lag problem and hopes to have it fixed soon. We want B2 to be the best playing experience possible for you all and as soon as a patch is ready we will let you know.


Nothing wrong with Dod 2, working perfectly (sic)

I have heard about this bug but I never actually seem to get it. But from what I have heard, it just sounds like a small problem with the coding, nothing to worry about really and will definately be fixed in the next patch.

On the subject of the next patch, I have heard that it will be out before WW2.0 starts, which is early March, so you should not have to put up with it for much longer.

yes ive played on loads of servers(wp, by, jolt, bw, us servers and a few european ones too) and it still happens, of course it dont happen all the time but it happens.
80% of the time it doesnt happen to me, even on wp.
