Subject: A DNF? Interesting. I never left game.

Everything you know is wrong.

So, I was playing BR's on Highgrounds and I was doing fairly good, couple deaths and I was on a killing spree. My connection was great, no lag or anything. Green signal bar on the scoreboard.

Suddenly the screen goes black with the scoreboard and it gave me a "Connecting to New Host." We've all seen that and I was assuming somebody left. When it was over, the game was over. Apparently everybody had left and I was the winner.

Now, what I do not get is that I went to check the game on my profile and I got a DNF. How and why did I get a DNF? This is the first time this has ever happened to me.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Thanks in advance.

Even if you are green you can still lag out of games.

This happens sometimes when you lag out, instead of returning to lobby, it keeps you in the game and says that you win. (when you didnt)

Really? The players around me were running smoothly. Dying was smooth as was killing.

It's not really about that, it just happens sometimes.

Sometimes you don't "Lag" out, you just disconnect.

For example, if I was playing matchmaking, everyone is green bar, great connection etc.

Then I pull my ethernet cable out of my xbox, exactly what you described would happen. It's just a fast disconnect.
