With this "fragmentation" issue in mind, I thought [u][b]IT[/b][/u] might be character/user related so I tried an experiment yesterday. My third character slot was open so I created a new character. I played for at least 2 hours without any lag, reload, or kick to orbit. When I changed characters to might oldest character I had only one issue. I killed the same 2 vandals three times with head shots and no score was displayed, and they just reappeared in the same spot until I changed positions. My theory is that there are game fragments out there for our characters that do not go away. At a certain point there are so many that the game/server connection becomes confused and cannot connect you to the current game location. The network error is just generic. I need to do more testing to be sure, but so far I seem to be able to play unhindered with my new character after consistent crashing with my other two characters. If other people are able to create a new character and test this theory, we might be able to get enough information for this issue to be resolved. Please try if you can and post you findings here. Thanks Kevin
