Ppl will spam disconnect/reconnect during ur turn so it basically like playing with a strobe light on your monitor.....this is gamesmanship i think and should not be allowed.

Post your thoughts and opinions. Thanks.

There's no direct connection between the computers, so not your opponent.  If it's iOS I read there was a bug and you need to update.  Otherwise, maybe something in this article will help...

If you're seeing that, their connection may be spotty. It's very unlikely they are doing it for any advantage and if they are doing it on purpose, it's to make sure they haven't disconnected.

So why does it send me message?  I'm not caring so don't spam my monitor with useless stuff.

It gives an indication of why they may not be moving and what the game is doing. Sometimes, that can actually be caused by your connection as well.

Anyone know how to stop the spam?

happened to me couple games in single a day. Their connection was piss poor and that caused me to have white connection popups in the corner of the screen every few seconds. I don't care that my opponent is about to disconnect, it's extremely distracting.
