What do you mean "back to 30 seconds." Every game I have played on the previous patch disconnected a player after a total lag time of 30 seconds.
Which brings me to this point: with this patch, if I am the one lagging, I get dropped out of game before 30 seconds on the disconnect dialog (including verified by the people I was playing with). Thus far I have been dropped after 10 seconds and 21 seconds (two different games).
Needless to say, after having played a bunch of good games on the previous patch, I am a bit annoyed =[ I know time warner is most likely the culprit for the intermittent lag in the first place, but getting dropped out of game before the supposed 30 seconds is very annoying.
Also, the 30 seconds should reset to 0 after awhile if a player has not lagged in awhile. Say a player's connection has stayed stable for the past 10 minutes and then suddenly he hits a spike - it does not make sense to have his timeout counter continue from where it was last time.
Do something like for every 3 seconds in game without the timeout counter going up, the time out counter gets decremented by a second, to a minimum of 0. So after 90 seconds of being back in game stable, a person's counter is back at 0. Or whatever ratio, but seriously...
Also, you need to allow access to the f10 menu while the map is loading. Mainly for when you get the "Waiting for other players" dialog and...cannot do anything.
