{FIXED} Crash = Earn a Ban!

It's one thing to ban players who are abusing the system. It's totally another to ban players who are being affected either by your continual code changes, or player abuse. Banning the victim of a crash is going to cost you a lot of decent players.

Having similar issues. I keep having games where I get these huge connection hiccups or lag spikes (sometimes it's definitely because of my wireless connection, but usually not), and the game ends up crashing when I rejoin. I've "abandoned" twice because of this, even though I rejoined and finished out the whole match; doesn't strike me as fair to catch a two hour temp ban for missing 5 minutes of a 40 minute game because my computer can't load back into the game fast enough. I think this is an unfortunate system for a game that's still under development, which will naturally have optimization issues and give players with worse hardware a some trouble.

UPDATE: I may have found what is causing repeating crashes for some systems.

I updated my BIOS for a MSI board. Seems they were shipped with old BIOS that doesn't read Fast RAM properly. Once updated, system boots so much faster and so far, ZERO CRASHES! RAM is reading at full speed and game ran quite smooth. This fix isn't listed in things to check when experiencing crashes, so hopefully it will be added to the list. With the new CPU specific RAM, this may be an issue for many players. Updating BIOS is dangerous, so read the process first before trying it. I hope this helps!
