I figured out a solution to your first problem, rather than rewrite it, I am going to quote a comment I made on the Amazon.com review of this game I wrote.
I decided to include an update, as well as a solution to Crytek's newest attempt to fix the issues revolving around losing progress if you are kicked from a session during a game, which is named "Patch 1.4". Now, instead of losing all the experience you gained in that session, you only lose that game's experience. However. If you leave a session, you will lose all the experience you gained from the MOST PREVIOUS game. Not too bad right? Wrong. Say an individual has leveled in the last game and gained, lets say, a weapon unlock and a dog tag. So they leave the session, everything checks out OK, however, as soon as they enter a new session, they will find that after they re-level after losing the level due to the evolution of this issue, that they will NOT re-receive the weapon unlock and dog tag, permanently. Now, I have found a solution to the permanently losing unlocks part of this, the important part, it goes as following. After one has gained these unlocks/achievements/dog tags/levels/module upgrade one must NOT leave the session. In order to keep these extremely valuable objects, one must play, and complete, one more game round in that session instance, then the person may leave the session. And just to be safe, never unlock anything in your multiplayer menu, only do it in a session and be sure to leave the session after one game as the directions state above. I do not know if the error will occur there, but it is better to be safe than sorry. The logic and reason behind why this works is because you lose what you got in your LAST game. So, so long as you leave a session after gaining only experience, nothing else that you want to keep and can't simply regain because of permanent loss, you will only lose the experience, because that is all you attained in the previous most game. And as we all know, we can regain that, just hope that during that experience only game you don't get session disconnected. Reason is, I do not know, I haven't experienced that while using this work around yet, but I don't know what will happen, so it is best to hope against it.
Note: To anyone who has experienced this and read this "blurb", so far I have lost 2 Weapon Unlocks, one Power Module Unlock, and 4 Dog Tag Unlocks. I feel your pain and I will post this solution in the Crysis 2 PC Forum Discussion.
