I can play all other online games without any problems, but this one works fine for about 2 min and then it says connection problem and disconnects

I have XP, amd 1800+, 756Mb ram, geforce3Ti500......so its not a hardware insufficiency problem.

Have any of u guys here had the same problem....and do you have a fix......

Yesterday i played 1 server without any problems......strange for 1½hours....the other servers disconnects me.

I have an adsl 256k connection and only choose servers with ping<250

Please help me

Same thing happens to me on any server, regardless of ping or number of people playing.

AMD Tbird 1.4GHz
512MB DDR (2x256)
Asus A7M266 (AMD 761 north, VIA 686b south, does not have latest BIOS version nor VIA 4in1 because I've never needed either)
ATi Radeon 32MB SDR (latest drivers)
SBLive x-Gamer (not 5.1, latest drivers)
Maxtor 40gig master, WD 120gig slave
3Com NIC (905C-TX or something)
Connected through a DLink DI-704P router/firewall into a Westell DSL modem with Verizon 768/128 service

Everything else with the internet works fine. What port does the game use? Maybe I could try opening it in my firewall.
I suggest you check XP's built-in firewall.
 
It may also be a possiblity that you may be behind an isp NAT.
Some ports in NATs have difficulity tranmitting udp packets.
 
i noticed on some servers your ping is great . some ppl join and u start to lag like a mofo .
i got the feeling these are not dedicated servers .
 
same problem here..

1.8GHz P4 XP
256 MB 'RAM'
40 GB hard drive
nvidia GF4 Ti 4400
dsl (through router)

sometimes i can manage to stay one for longer, others i get dropped right after a few minutes, no matter how many people are playing. it is starting to really bug. it might not be so bad if the game didn't take so long to load wake island map every time i tryand reconnect. give me a patch, or give me death.. this game is that good ;)
 
Then it works then it does not

Just before i could stay on all the servers i connected to......but now i cant anymore......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......i tried to disable my xp firewall and thought it worked....but i didnt...
HEEEEEEEEEELP!!! i need to play....must have fix......UGH!

After doing alot of reading on this, i'm pretty sure this isn't a netcode problem but an admin problem. People setting up servers are heavily overpopulating their servers. People with cable/dsl should only be hosting up to 12 players, max. Anything more than that will not enable the server to be able to send all the information to the clients that it needs to.

It also seems that listen servers (non-dedicated) have VERY bad lag problems. I haven't seen a way to filter these out in the ingame server browser, so it isn't very easy to recognize which servers are dedicated and which aren't. Lets just pray EA releases the server lists so we can use our beloved ASE to browse servers.
 
Why EA used gayspy is beyond me ..
it show servers totally empty and they are full to the hill
some servers i cannot even connect the game crashes
 
lol ive been trying to play this game for 3 days off and on.... only once did i manage to have a good time playing. now all i get is that awful connection problem message. this has to be fixed and soon......im ready to give up, but i cant.... lol this game rocks
 
yeah..

well as sucky as this crappy connection problem is at least we aren't alone... lol. it feels like AA in here, we are addicted to a game we can't play! it is disrupting our lives ;-)
 
ok this is what i do nowdays
soon the servers show up
i scroll down asap all the way
check out quickly for a server with a decent ping and some players ..
no probs allday
 
ok, i went down to best buy and bought 256 megs of DDR ram and now the game loads a lot faster and plays much better. i also tried that server trick wargasm suggested and it worked for a bit longer, but still got disconnected before 15 mins. good luck.. and BUY RAM you won't regret it
 
Ram sure helps performance

But the connection problem remains......i guess it must be beginners trouble for the game dev team.....theyll probably fix it in a patch.

I have 756Mb of DDr ram and my game is running fluiently....whenever the ping is alright:-)
But thnx for posting guys....

its nice that people care to write....

Tnx from Denmark
 
i agree with you about the patch fixing this bug. anyway, i look forward to seeing you on the battlefield in the near future.. hopefully on the same team :) and if i ever work this problem out i will be sure to post the solution here! please do the same, thanks. it is just a matter of time i think.

best wishes,
david
 
hey how may of the people having connection problems are going through routers?? and if so what kind??

i updgraded my firmware and that seemed to really help with the amount of time i am able to stay connected. i have a linksys BEFSR41 and changed my firmware to 1.41 and stayed on today for a record breaking 45 mins straight. :-D
 
the dev team allready mentioned soon the game is in the stores they will have a patch rdy :)
prolly not for the demo tho
right i am off to modify ASE totally sick of depending on gamespy and their crap filters
 
Solution!!!!!

In your BF1942 directory open the MultiplayerServers folder.
Rename GameSpyJoin_MP_Demo.dll by changing the extension to .bak
Make a copy of GameSpyLanJoin_MP_Demo.dll
Rename this copy to GameSpyJoin_MP_Demo.dll
The in-game browser should no longer function, so the lag should hopefully disappear.
 
Problems staying connected?

I was having the same problem staying connected w/ bf1942 servers. I have a D-Link 604 and upgraded the firmware. After that, I've had no problems. I recommend to anyone having issues to make sure you upgrade your firmware, hopefully it will be all you need to get back to some good ol' battlefield

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • Ghan Ghan:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity

    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
