I know this is alpha, but how do we know if we're disconnecting more than others?

I have not been able to play more than 2 minutes on any server this evening without getting the "no message received" thing and eventual disconnect.

Not getting angry as I know this is an alpha, but I would still like to know if there is anything I can do to increase my chance of being able to play. right now, it isn't the zombies or the other players that are my greatest threat, it's lagging out in the middle of a street where I'm sure to get killed next time I logged in...that's the bigger threat.

great game, just want to know if I can do something to improve my connection or if I just need to pack more patience. I'm gonna call it a night in game as I just can't get anything going...been disconnected 10 times this past hour.

I'm having the same issue. I can play for about 2 or 3 mins no problem...then get the "No Message Received In XX Seconds" message, then lose connection.

I'm playing through steam, fresh install, and my latency on servers I'm connection to is ~ 60-85 or so, so its not that bad.

Anyone else been experiencing this?

I've experienced it once but after 10-15 secs it fixed itself. Sometime's it's just the server restarting or it's shutting down. Or could just be alpha being alpha. Just find a new server and try to find one that works for you.

I've waited around a minute or so with that message, before I lose connection. It's very odd; I haven't a single server that I can stay in for more than 2 mins, and I've tried 10 or so from different areas.

Will keep on trying though
