- @kregora well either way I'm seeing a lot of recently. Last couple days I've had entire squads that aren't spawning. Maybe only happens once and a while but it's annoying.
Hey easy now guys, idle timeout is a legacy feature.
How otherwise are EA to keep showing so impressive high player population numbers for the BF2042 AOW game area! 😂
However, if you need to go for a bio-break while hosting your own portal server, then you are kicked after 3 mins idle time...
