Error

big problem with error coming up when loading game
I can always reload game PROBLEM is lose a hunt in comps as if you played Kind of a ****** when it is your last hunt in a comp

I agree, it's very disappointing, it needs to be fixed. Maybe the competition attempt should only be spent if the hunt lasted more than a minute.

That is a good idea

I agree that would be a good fix. It is disappointing to lose attempts due to a Disconnect Error. It happens a lot when you scroll through and activate EW Comps and then go directly to a reserve.

Yep. I lost my first attempt in the Community League Sambar comp to that today.

Actually I recently had a crash after 1 minute 6 seconds on loading and after 1 minute 11 seconds some time ago (but usually it's 0-2 seconds, right after trying to launch the game), so maybe the hunt should last 1.5 minutes to waste an attempt, but I'm not sure that this time is not enough for abuse by dishonest players with fast connection.

We use a disconnect allowance in the hosted comps. So, if one gets a disconnect in less than 5 minutes with no distance travelled or animlas track/spotted and a disconnect happens- it doesn't count as an attempt at all. EW should implement something like that, I think.

with no distance travelled or animlas track/spotted

great idea, should be something like this

but it still allows abuse by entering on tent and examining the surroundings without spotting animals (but noticing big ones)

It works well in the Community Forum League comps. Don't see why it wouldn't work well with the EW Comps. Maybe it is a coding thing. I have mentioned it before to EW staff/producers and it still happens, so obviously not an easy fix.

Yes frustrating! I lost my first attempt on the same comp for a different reason though. My player got trapped in the roots of a tree as a Sambar buck approached. This meant that I couldn't maneuver myself to get into a good firing position, couldn't get a good look at the animal, and it spooked before I could see it. After losing the buck, I couldn't free myself from the tree roots around my player, forcing me to close the game, losing the buck and an attempt + progress on a travel mission.

YES THAT!
