Disconnect during long mp pauses

[danoh]

I originally posted this in the multi-player forum, but it may belong here.

A friend and I have been playing as allies for some time - in 1.05c as Germany/Japan and now under CORE .71 as UK/USA. Our games run fine until we take a break (like 5 min.) and go AFK. Inevitably our game disconnects at this point. We do get the option to save it.

My question is whether or not this is a known issue. I suspect it is not HoI related, but instead is one of our ISP's. Anyone else ever hear of this kind of disconnect happening?

I generally let the experts in the MP forum habdle MP support.

I'll say it's known.

Thanks for the link jpd!

Yeah, thanks much JPD. Have to get one of those water birds Homer uses to type for him while he's AFK.

No problem. When one wrestles with a problem like this one like I have, one tends to remember the bug report filings
