Connection problems...

[Gubaru.jp]

Hello everyone,

For the past week, I have had terrible connection problems with the HSlan server AND 762.
I can play for like 5 minutes, and then get the "your connection with the server has been lost" message after a screen freeze.

One more interesting thing is that I lose the connection to both servers at the same time and it also comes back simultaneously after approx. 5 minutes.

Otherwise my internet connection appears to be just fine, so does anybody understand what could be causing this???
It's very frustrating!

Thanks for your time,

Gub

A friend of mine had this, for some reason it was related with his wireless connection. As soon as he was on cable it worked all fine, but with wireless connection he also had all the time connection problems in BF2 only. The rest worked fine.

losing the connection to both servers at the same time sounds like a connection problem of yours. As the servers are completely independent the problem must be caused somewhere in your network environment.

Have you already checked the list of incidences in your modem?

Hi guys,

Thank you for your replies.
The thing is, my connection with other servers seems fine. 762 and HSlan have in common... that they are in Germany?
I'm wondering if maybe the internet cables between our countries are having issues.

I do run a wireless network at home, but my desktop is on a hard wire.
I'll make some checks (btw, how do you check the "list of incidences" in the modem?)

Hope I can solve this soon!
Thanks for your help

Do you know how to open the modem's control panel in the internet browser? Usually you've got some special IP oder adress you need to type (in my case it is "fritz.box" )

In This control panel i can choose "Incidents" (I'm not sure if that's the correct translation, there's a whole bunch of words for the german "Ereignis"), which opens a list that shows all the things the modems does, especially connection errors caused by your internet provider.

In my case I can see that my provider serves me with a more than unstable connection (the modem redials regularly).

You can start troubleshooting, by playing on another german server. If you have the same problems you know what's the problem.

Hey there,

You're not alone, I've been having the same issue for the last week or so. It would seem to be related to the new PB update that was done to the servers. When playing on servers not on your continent this can happen. Both HSLAN and 762 simultaneously go out of it for like 5 mins then come back. This usually happens when they release a new patch. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon, because this is really starting to annoy me lol

Hey Jupp,

Thank you so much for your reply.
It helps to know I'm not the only one, and I kind of suspected this sort of intercontinental problem.

Could someone relay this issue to the developers for their reference?
And if you know any solutions, please drop a line. I want back!!!

Thank you very much.
