    Exclamation i cannot join your server

    i am able to load the map and click the join game button, and when i do, i go to the squad (tab) page, but then "[my] connection to the server has been lost" and i am kicked back out to the server lists. there i get another error message "your connection to the server has been lost"

    i am able to join other servers, but i have a problem with yours? any suggestions?

    thanks

    If its not for one of these reason (stated above) try to reconnect twice in a row . If you dont have alot of ram , stuff like that can happen .

    no, it isn't one of those reasons. haha
    i have plenty of ram, and i have played on the TG PR server many many times before, but recently, i can't get it to work.

    i have tried MANY times in a row, and i get the same results. i am in the game for a second or two, then i get booted because "i have lost my connection"

    I was having this issue a couple of weeks ago. Try updating your PunkBuster - this may be the issue.

    Punkbuster manual update - scroll down and find the one appropriate for your OS. This is the fastest way to do it.

    Good luck!!

    Re: i cannot join your server

    thanks hero,
    ill give it a shot.

    also important to mention:
    the server appears to crash ever time i join. by this i mean when i look at it on my favorites list, the ping is maxed out and it isn't joinable. if i log in and out, the server is listed in red and appears to be 'down'.

    Re: i cannot join your server

    c:\my documents\Battlefield 2\mods


    try deleting or renaming this


    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.

    this is a link to the problem - after deleting shaders

    also, symantec gave me the ip of the computer which produced this warning...is it just the server?

    Re: i cannot join your server

    Is the problem fixed by now?

    To make sure every process and service you don't need is closed, I reccomend the program "smartclose". http://www.snapfiles.com/get/smartclose.html
    It closes everything that isn't essential in two clicks, and then makes an image to let you restore it all. I would add the pnkbstra.exe and pnkbstrb.exe to the exceptions list though.

    Other then that your problem sounds very much like a PB initiated kick.

    It is always good to start the game windowed (commandline: "xxxxx" +fullscreen 0) when troubleshooting. This gives you an error report that should make more sense then "connection lost", but only if your game crashes though.

    Re: i cannot join your server

    no, the problem isn't fixed yet. ill give your smartclose program a try. thanks.

    is it possible that a reinstall could fix it? i have not reinstalled for a while and have been patching patches, if you will.

    also, Al, i don't understand your troubleshooting instructions. do i replace what i have in the properties of the exe with "xxxxx + fullscreen 0" ?

    thanks - it's nice to see [your] willingness to help.

    Re: i cannot join your server

    good news. i tried to join the server with the smartclose magic and it seemed to work, however, i have a feeling that an empty server is easier to join than a full server. ill find out tonight.

    as for smartclose, i had a heck of a time restoring it back to normal, hopefully it will go more smoothly in teh future.

    thanks for all the help -

    Re: i cannot join your server

    Good to hear, if it works with smartclose, that means with near certainty that another program (like your anti-virus) was conflicting with battlefield.

    On the restoring; to be honest I don't do that. If I'm going online, I'll just manually restart my security software, and most other processes/services will start themselves as needed.

    Re: i cannot join your server

    good -> bad

    turns out i was only able to join the TG server when it was empty/only a few players

    turns out i randomly lose connection to texas team players server too...

    i am just going to reinstall and see what happens.
    this produces both good news and bad news:
    bad news: i won't be able to play for a while due to my bf2 disc-set location in relation to my current location
    good news: you guys won't be getting pwned for a while :P

    thanks for all the help - Seal

    Re: i cannot join your server

    Seal, keep in mind that since you are not a supporting member of TG, you can not join a full server and if you are on the full server, you will get kicked for a supporting member. It is spelled out in the SOP's/Primers on the forums for PR. Good luck, I understand your frustration.

    Re: i cannot join your server

    understood Mr. Ray. i am not getting kicked for supporting members in this situation. believe me, i have been kicked for that many, many times in the past, and i know what that looks like.

    when i say full, assume populated. i am unable to join anything other than an emply or nearly empty server. i cannot join the TG server if it has lets say above 30 members playing.
