Your connection to the server has been lost

Re: Your connection to the server has been lost

I was having this problem last week. I updated PBWEB.exe, and also restarted my Software Firewall, and now I am ok.

:) :) :) :) :laugh:

IT WORKED IT WORKED

Ripping out the modem cable and leaving it for 20 mins worked (I also cleaned cd and updated punk buster, this did not work for me)

SO....maybe making my modem re-boot worked, whatever it was at the moment I can play we will see how long for.

OK everyone prepare to get free points from me...as I run into your gun sights :p

Thanks to anyone who contributed to this thread I hope others with this problem get some joy, I hope this is a long term thing for me :hmm:

Have a good one

Re: Your connection to the server has been lost

Hi fellow sufferers, I know this has been done BUT PLEASE READ THE BELOW before laying into me

The point of this post is quite obvious but before I start can I just clear up a couple of things.

1: I have searched this forum, other forums and Google and all the suggestions have been tried and have failed (Firewall off, Ports changed, Game reinstalled etc. etc.) I have a decent PC (ADSL Internet connection, 1.2mb RAM (approx), 3.2 P4, 9800 pro - I build my own systems so know a little about PCs)

2: I am NOT bashing the game I love it hence my desperation

OK back to the problem, about 2 weeks ago I was reaching corporal and my second unlock - brilliant for me I am a fairly bad player and this was a great achievement it meant I would unlock the Special forces weapon and be able to Snipe (1st unlock) and play SF my favourite classes, and sneak around in bushes...but that is a different story.

Then I began experiencing crippling “Your connection to the server has been lost” this is not once an hour but 3 - 4 times in one round???, this is not the “Your connection has been interrupted, no I get bounced back the screen where you chose your server.

WHY, I don't get it, my ISP is the same, my system has not changed - no new hardware or software at all, I play on many servers so it is not isolated to one, I play many different times as well so this is not the issue, I am stuck.

The reason for this post, advice and also to see if anyone else gets this. My major questions are below.

1: Does anyone else get this?
2: Could it be my ISP?
3: Could it be the game itself?
4: May the patch fix this?
5: If it is my ISP WHY IS EVERY OTHER GAME OK ONLINE
6: Any other suggestions for fixing this?

Look sorry but understand I love BF2 in time with patches it will be brilliant, but I just cannot play any more.

Thanks

If you search the forum, there's a sticky or something that should be a sticky. It's about connectivity and it involves the 1,02 patch and punk buster update. The short story is that you need first to unistall BF2 completely. The install the patch and then install a new PB from the PB site. The guy who wrote the original post is called GreatwhiteShark, or something like that. You'll need to search the forum to find his post. It has some great information about connectivity issues. I hope that helps
