Hyperbullet is affected by it the most.

I've disconnected out of almost every game I played today. If you refresh once when the disconnect happens, and pray to the Chess Gods, you may be able to reconnect back in time.
Possible causes:
- The scripts are not optimized.
- There's a bandwidth bottleneck
- Servers are overloaded by the decrease in games.
- Merging 2pc and 4pc caused issues with the scripts, database, etc.
The question for Admins is, do they know the root causes?

- Are you sure that as a <800 in 2PC Bullet, it's really the server's fault?
- Try clearing cache; the server usually doesn't affect the performance, only disconnects which should only happen in a few games

I honestly think merging was the worst decision the admins have made. No one wanted it and all it did do was bring trouble. And when are we getting our rating refunds? It seems like empty promises are constantly thrown at us.
+1
“Rating refund” ??
Really?

Do you honestly people are going to be calm and composed about losing their rating to something that wasn't in their control?

I don't think rating refunds have ever been promised

I'm talking about promises in general

Some admin (I assume it's BabYagun, given the 2nd post of the thread) has been giving rating refunds here. I'm not sure if there are requirements (equal/winning position etc.), but I suggest (from personal experience) to not report games you won, since the refunds go both ways.

oh, I posted links there and didn't get refunds, I've got a long list of games that I got disconnected from and lost as a result. :/

How much longer are people going to be complaining about the server?
I know and understand what it feels like to lose in a winning position because of a disconnect. It's happened to me multiple times and everyone at least once or twice, and now, with the new server, which is a bit unstable—okay, very unstable—the disconnects happen more frequently and it gets very annoying after a few games. But this is all part of the change and the developers are working long and hard to fix this issue, which is their first priority (hopefully). The merge has its upsides to it. I used to be against the merge, but we have to deal with it, for at the very least. What I don't understand is how they can say we are a minority when there are less than 1000 players online at a time, even less of which are actually playing 4pc, even less of which don't care about the changes made to 4pc. We have our opinions and are fighting to get back the game we all loved, and all they can do is call us the "minority" when pretty much no one else has an opinion (and if they do have one, why not post it somewhere?).
The complaints probably won't stop until an announcement is made. They really can't call us the minorities when they themselves are making changes without asking the "minorities" to vote or give our opinion on it.

By now I pretty much have given up hope that 4pc can go in the right direction for once, they only brought old standard back for a couple of days then quickly changed it back. I'll just continue playing for clout. I know this sounds bad and all but why else would I be playing for? It's already a pain with the set-up and disonnects.

Actually it was less than 24 hrs
Still, I'm done complaining.

@JKCheeseChess, check out this game
https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/26621988/4/2
Chestnut misclicked move 1, and we were down the whole game, but came back to win it and got +1! We disconnected numerous times and had we lost it would've been -35.
Having such an unstable server is driving away the few remaining active players. The disconnections are so frequent that it's simply not worth playing right now, hence all the complaints.
I was 2300 when the merge started, and lately the disconnections have caused a few -20 losses, those quickly add up. I'll be 1900 with 2-3 more server disconnects.
I started playing Blitz Antichess for the first time. We got a few wins, and stopped playing couple games after the disconnect wiped out all the wins.
Trying to play hyper bullet with this current server is a pain in the neck:
