So this is for those people like me with unfortunately unstable internet connection - I don’t know if it’s possible to have the game pause automatically when one of the players temporary loses the connection with the server?

This is what often happens with me - if I have a connection instability, the game will freeze for about 5 to 10 seconds or even longer while it’s trying to reconnect to the server. Then it goes very fast to catch up to real time. It’s extremely frustrating when you’re in the middle of an important fight and can’t micro and basically lose the game simply because your internet connection decided to act up.

A simple solution would be to pause the game automatically when it freezes? Idk if it’s possible

Thanks for your time!

The point of the current system is that it doesn’t impact other players when one guy has bad internet. I agree with you it’s annoying when you lose connection and can’t make inputs for 30 seconds, but it’s the way the game was intentionally designed.
