It's a possibility - I have that too from time to time. Generally with the mission loading bug you'll be flying along and suddenly you're in the mission loading screen. Everyone else still see's you in game but you're locked in the mission loading screen for good and you have to disconnect and rejoin.

I'm certainly no expert but surely something must be simulating what happens when a server changes map? Perhaps a short pause in data or something from the host to a player that can be misinterpreted by players game as a map change or in other cases randomly lose connection all together even with a good low ping?

I'd love to see this bug fixed!

Any guessing of when 4.10 will be released?One week?One month?One year?

The "mission loading" / "transferring mission" bug has been plaguing our squad .. well.. as long as I can remember. It seems quite random, not being able to determine exactly what causes it.

As said, it happens suddenly in-flight. Sometimes just after you got airborne, sometimes after hours of continuous flight. Last Sunday squad mate lost a plane to the bug on a SEOW coop after 2 hours of flight, just before starting our bombing run(damnit ).

The "transferring mission bug" is server side 100% sure. The player doesnt get kicked, but his plane disappears instantly, and in his screen, he will go to the "transferring mission" screen, with his engine sound looping. He can wait there for Valhalla as nothing happens if he doesnt disconnect and rejoin the game.

Only happens on some servers, especially the CZ_AH(4.09 CRT2 server, by the way!), about once a week to me.

In our case (squad mate getting the bug) we could see his plane flying, then slowly drooping down as he couldn't control it anymore, and then quite a bit later crashing to the ground. He was in the game the whole time and left after the plane had crashed.

Same has happened to me many times. The loading screen appears, but I can hear my engine starting to increase the RPM as the plane starts to dive, and then hear the crash when it hits the ground / water. One time it happened when I was being shot at, I could still hear the enemy firing at me So, the plane continues in the game, you just can't control it. A disconnect and rejoin is needed to get back to the game.

Thats what I've always experienced too.

If troubleshooting the mission loading bug is difficult, perhaps a separate thread where anyone who's had it can post what they've experienced or seen happen to someone else could piece enough bits of the puzzle together to help pinpoint the cause?
It seems pretty random to me but there must be common factors.

I would like to see some better AI for ground and naval unit, it doesn't seem reallistic that a under attack ship keep the same course it would be wonderfull to see the ship trying to avoid the torp; right now i have to see the time that the torp planes get to the fleet and make them avoid the torp by changing their course at the FMB.

Afaik nothing still happens. Havent bothered to wait the 30min to 2 hours myself, but it has happened to a squadmate, he still had to rejoin the server.
