<div class="IPBDescription">Tired of losing your res to D/C?</div>It isn't quite a Common as it was but still is an annoyance of any multiplayer games with score/resources for me. When you get disconnected or crash what happens: all your data is lost and you have to start from scratch when you rejoin.
A good scenario is this: ever heard of that respawn bug? Where it's suddenly impossible to spawn and you're forced to RR or disconnect even? that keeps your score at least now if it's just RR but your resources in both cases are wiped (it used to default to 25 before 180 but as I recall it's now defaulting to 1 in the RR case).
I'd like to propose a temp data system using Steam_ID that keeps your resources, score, K/D for the round and at the end of said round that data is wiped, a clean slate like normal.

Not enough frequent this part of the board, though at least it gets more attendance than modding does right now.
I'd feel like a jerk linking it to general when it doesn't quite belong there though.
I don't see a reason not to have it, so I'm in.
especially while working through bugs, this is needed.
