Instead of starting a new topic, I'm just gonna add to this one...
Back in War 8, I had a terrible time keeping connection in PvP Duel. I always got the "disconnect bug" after a few turns... I chalked this up to my sub-par connection from the only ISP in my area who really doesn't give a crap about any of it's subscribers.
A few months ago I started working at an institution of higher learning who has an incredibly fast, robust and healthy connection. My brother ITR and I were excited at the possibility of being able to PvP again and we gave it a go... Guess what? Same damn thing... "disconnect bug".
So, I've tried to PvP Duel on several computers, with several different browsers and on 2 different ISP's... I would have loved to had the opportunity to be in War again as it was my first event and I do enjoy it very much. I'm not holding my breath for this to get fixed but I thought I'd add to the information already posted here in hopes that it might provide some additional information in pinpointing the issue and coming to a successful resolution.
