I just came back to play some games today.

But then I figured out there was a rating glitch (or maybe server problem) .

Since this glitch can be quite a severe one, so I open a new thread to remind others.

My original rating was 2536 , and I played nine classic matches today, I won all nine of them , six matches were against 2k+ players
And I got +14 points in total throughout all those matches, so my rating should be 2550.

However, my rating dropped to 2493 in a weird way. And the weird dropped happened twice.

The first drop is that, when I was queuing in ranked, and got an opponent, but then the game timeout, I did not even play the game, but I dropped to 2511 suddenly.
And then when I ranked back to 2524 , I met a player called beyen, when I was winning, the server was suddenly down, and I got logged out . After five minutes, the server restored and I was able to log in, but my rating dropped to 2493.

And the more weird thing is that, my win-loss record had two more loses due to this matter and my rating dropped. But there were no replay records after this happened.

I did not get the first drop proof. But I did got the second drop proof





So I am here to remind other players not to play ranked matches due to this matter. And hopefully supporters can deal with this issue as well.

I also had this problem on my main the other day, i don't know if it was just me or the game.

I had a problem where the timer hit zero, but I still lost rating. Maybe you had the same problem?

Myst, this is really annoying no doubt, It happens with me many times, the times hits zero opponet timed out and then rating loss... They should look into this

It happened a lot to you yet this is first time youve mentioned it?

lol no , this only happened to me in this 2.16 version.

I seldom/never met this before.

I should probably start quoting even if im replying to the post directly above mine.

Was referring to Usman.

If ur asking me Ai, Then yeah I mentioned it for the first time because every time I faced this I just saw that I was lagging on my cousins PC while not on my PC so maybe lag is the reason.

then our situation is different

I did not meet any lag throughout all my matches, and did not lose even once. And no replay record as well, then suddenly two more loses even I did not play the match.

Just when I was playing the match and going to win very soon, suddenly got kicked to login page(but I still heard the sound of chaos when I was in the login page), and then I could not open or login to stick empire for around five minutes. But after five minutes , everything returned to normal .

The login page glitch is because of maybe servers restart or maybe somebody else logs into ur account, or attempts to do so, well I tyink its just beacause servers were facing probs from before and then restarted to fix the prob

The first time may be due to you "lagging out" on the loading page. basically the game thinks both that you are in the game and that you didn't select an empire fast enough, so it gives the "opponent timed out" message while making you lose a game. Happened to me several times when my computer was being slow.

Second one sounds like someone logged into your account.

First, my internet is more than enough to handle SE, so quite impossible for me to lag out.

Second, pretty sure no one logged into my account, because I did not give my acc to anyone else.
Besides, I saw some others in chat thread met the same thing like me and resulted in rating lose.

Anyway, got the reply from brock already , this thread can be closed.
