lol, i have no clue why but its very annoying at times

Remember if you were logged in, but lost connection or just closed the window, as far as the other player (for example) is concerned you are probably "not responding".

You have to wait for the server to realise nothing is happening at your end an log you out.

kk mate

Doesn't look like your a lucky lad at all lol!

me either, it just logged me out again during a match!

Possibilies:

If many users are logged out simultaneously, it's a server problem.

If a proportion eg 10% are logged out chances are it's a network related problem eg NTL can't connect to certain sites.

If a single user has been disconnected then it could be
- your connection has gone down
- other programmes are hogging the bandwidth (eg downloaders, music streaming), maybe throttle the allowed bandwidth for these
- something is temporarily blocking your connection to the game server (the connection is usually a "socket" based connection).

If your connection does go down then the game will attempt to reconnect to the server and re-establish connection upto 8 times (you can see the numbers 1/8 count on the top right).

Occasionally errors occur. These are logged and sent to the server under any possible instance (there's no personally identifiable data sent!). If you use the reccommended Java setup reported errors occur less than once every 1000 player hours, and I'd like to thank Java for their robustness.
