    Can Connect to EA Master Server BUT cant connect to any game

    bfbc2 "Connection to the game server has been lost. Please Check Your Network and Try Again."

    Heres my story. I have been playing this game online before at school. My network hasnt changed. The ports are all open. Firewall and Anti V are off and disabled. I just reformated my PC a week ago and reinstalled BFBC2 on steam. During the reinstall when it says "installing for the first time " when i clicked on the game to play a few rounds, The part in steam where it uploads Punkbuster sat and said it was installing for 20 mins. I stoped it and clicked on it again. When i first installed the game in march it did the same but i let it sit and boom it worked online. Im wondering do you think something may have happen and hence why i didnt let it sit, Thats why i cant connect? I downloaded the exe off PB and intalled it from that. I can get loged on to the EA Master Server and when i try to join a game it gives me that error. Do you think because of that install thats why I cant join? Its the only thing different from the last install. I tryed to uninstall from Steam and reinstall BUT i keep getting the same error due to it doesnt load like the first time saying its " Frist Time Install" and reloadeds punkbuster. What do you think?

    Do you know if your game is patched and up to date? Also, you might run the integrity check to make sure your files via steam are good.

      Did, But no such luck, The only thing that has changed is I have a new Wireless card. Im going to plug my old one back in today to see if It will work.

        Do you have your wireless card and a wired connection in use at the same time?

          No, I tryed the wired connection in my room and It wont even connect to the EA Master Server but on my wireless Card it will. Its weird.

            I know this is a week old, but:
            AFAIK two different cards (wired and wireless in this case) will give you to different IP addresses on you local net. So if you have any portforwarding configured in your router, you will need to change that to match you new local IP address.

              They are open for both (I have my 360 on the wired mostly and everything runs fine) But the wired sucks more at my college than the wireless. I had IT come up here and they ran test and tryed everything for me, Which Bugs me more is BF2142/BF2 run fine, BC2.....Does not

                That could be because they use different ports:



                Regarding portforwarding, I was not talking about allowing ports through your firewall in general.
                When you set up portforwarding in a router, you tell it explicitly that all traffic on a port should be redirected to one specific computer/IP address.
                So if you haven't already done that, check if your router has any rules regarding the ports listed in http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/b...formation.html

                  went down to IT this morning and they showed me the ports are open, I guess its gotta be something on my end but I dont really know what it could be.

                    Well now I can connect to the "No Hero" servers, I guess its a start, I keep getting that error on all the others also, Plus my server list is only showing 20 servers at a time

                      Its YOU! :rawr:

                      Well, not you, but something is wrong with your system. A cable. A network card, a driver. I dont know, but reading your other issues in your other posts, you are having some type of system issue.

                      I still think its a network issue though and you should take your system and go to a friends house and see if it works. If it does, then its the network. If it doesnt, its you.
