Hi, Thanks for the reply. I wasn't really expecting one :) No MODs. I did use them but forgot to re-install after a recent update. I do shut the game via the Task Manager (the only way), but on restarting I get the penalties!! Currently looking at 5 games from 2 restarts (I know it's not a lot but it's the principle). I've worked through many issues since closed beta testing all those years ago, but now get tot he point that I can play 1 or 2 games before I get problems.

Great!!!! Even after a restart of the PC I load the game and get stuck AGAIN at the launch screen. I've got 1 pink penalty, now I'll get another. I'll be uninstalling permanently at this rate. Waste of my real cash,

. Description Waiting for countdown to join battle. Countdown gets to zero and I'm stuck waiting. The mini map on the loading screen shows that the game continues with me not moving. Today the game crashed once and I get another penalty. The game has been fully updated, removed and re-installed. Same issue. Been happening for about 3 weeks. The PC is used for gaming only. 2. Reproduction steps Happens every 3 or 4 games. Have to crash game and restart (and get another penalty). 3. Result Most restarts allow me to join the game. I still get penalised (made pink) for leaving a battle before the end/getting killed or for being stationary and non-active. 4. Expected result Countdown normally gets to 30 seconds left and I get to join. 5. Technical details Happens at random times of the day. I am seriously considering not bothering to play any more as it's a waste time trying. I've still got a little Premium time left - cant see that getting used.
