Greetings Summoners!
Today we will be conducting some testing around our Login Queue. Everyone hates Login Queues, right?
However, as part of this test, we may briefly disconnect you from the servers in order to test out functionality that we hope will shorten connection times for those that get disconnected from games (due to networking issues) in a real life situation.
If you get disconnected from the game, you may see your screen gray out with a reconnect banner. When you’re in this situation on the live service, we generally recommend waiting for the game to reconnect, as it is usually the fastest way to return into game. However, for the purposes of this test, we’re looking for volunteers-- who’ve been disconnected from in-game-- to try restarting their client by closing the client (Alt+F4) and running the client again. This will mean logging in again, but we’re hoping the experience is more seamless and less painful with the new feature. A screenshot of the new feature is attached.
If you get disconnected from the game and decide to close the client to restart/re-login, we’d like you to let us know if you ran into any funkiness. Some things to look out for IF you experience this: o Loss of functionality in the Air Client (inability to purchase, inability to look at your Summoner Profile, inability to chat) o Unable to reconnect to the game (If you get this option, does it work? What happened, if it didn’t work?) o Are any issues experienced once the game is finished? Is it just like finishing a normal game?
Any feedback that can be provided would be much appreciated!
