Re: Connection Lost

I don't think it's an internet connection problem. It has to be EA servers...

Re: Connection Lost

I also have the same issue. Although rejoining works the 2nd around, but no crashes or such (outside of the normal ones) beyond once I get in the server.

Love how you say normal ones...

I'll usually have problems getting on servers, or if I do get on, will get kicked very quickly due to PB or something stupid.

The 3rd will atest to the screaming and yelling at EA/BF I do on a weekly basis.

This is exactly what I am experiencing. I don't have promod installed.

Re: Connection Lost

Are most of us running EA link?

Re: Connection Lost

No I don't open that up unless I happen to be looking for download.

Re: Connection Lost

I don't have EA link open or Promod installed. I noticed this when we moved to the new Conquest Server and have the same random drops and stalls with a moderately good ping (90-95).

Might be unrelated to the 'server error detected' when I try to sign on or when it searches for the server on my favorites list. Then again, it might be connected somehow. -.-

Re: Connection Lost

I have this for over a month now. Reinstalling didn't work.

Re: Connection Lost

I've had the same problem since day one. I can *never* connect to a server on the first try. It takes at least two, and sometimes more tries. I have both promod and ea link.

Re: Connection Lost

I had this problem. Heres a fix for AMD x64 users and Windows XP:

Make sure you have the following files installed:
See - amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html

* AMD Dual-Core Optimizer

* AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16

(This was for BF2 / PR)

Re: Connection Lost

I get this my first game every time. I just bring up the task manager and right-click on the battlefield process and set the affinity to use only CPU 0. I also do that for the two punkbuster processes. I have to try and go into a game first to get the second punkbuster process to go.

Also I always got lags and kicks when I had Comcast. They were fine on port 80 for surfing traffic, but I think they block and pause other ports to prevent phone traffic. That would compete with their digital phone service. Since I switched to DSL I haven't been kicked once after the initial kick going into the first game. I couldn't even complete a game with Comcast.

I've been with Comcast since they Beta'd the cablemodem network here in Atlanta, and haven't experienced these issues. It could be that your local node was overutilized, causing you to experience these interruptions.


And, yeah, I've been getting hit with the can't connect on the first try thing too recently. Second try always works for me though.
