Too many people disconnect in firestorm, when they get downed, so they don't give the kill score and all their loot is gone from the game.

Crazy concept: If they disconnect during the game, make it count as a kill and just drop all loot immediately. Love the game, but this issue is so frustrating.

I fixed loot not dropping already, it didn't make it in time for the upcoming patch, but it's likely going to be in the one after that.

Was this happening on PC as well or just console? I'm curious because I hadn't noticed it on PC. PS: I love Firestorm but I hate what it does to my Score Per Minute even when I have a good run. Any chance of splitting that from other MP?

This is happening on any platform.

Excellent well done, will it also count as a kill by any chance? I've been seeing a lot more disconnecting downed enemies recently

The scoring will be fixed too.

Thanks for your hard work, but can you explain what this means? If the issue is fixed now, why wouldn't it be in the next patch? Is there some sort of review process that each game build needs to go through on each platform before it can be released?

It just sounds to me like you guys are working on a lot of stuff, but it takes forever for any of it to come out.

We have a tight schedule for all the patches with dedicated time for testing. This means that non-critical changes can't be made to a patch close to release. It drastically lowers the risk of introducing new bugs but at the same time means that bringing fixes live take a bit longer. It's a trade off, but personally I think the balance is right.

Someone just disconnected in the game, leaving behind no loot or kill credit. after patch is up.

Like I said, it will be fixed in the patch after this one. So in ~2 weeks probably.
