All I can stand, I can't stand no more!!!! Connection Problems

Re: All I can stand, I can't stand no more!!!! Connection Problems

Forget messing with your computer.

The problem is at the server end.

Just do a Traceroute and you'll notice the disconnects coincide with a peak along the route, usually a hop near or at the server end.

Seems BF2 is more sensitive to ping spikes.

Either that or its the large amount of comms being shunted around that uses much more traffic than other multiplayer games leading to more internet jams at the bottlenecks.

I don't think it has anything whatsoever to do with the client end.

EA needs to address the cause of these ping spikes or make the netcode less sensitive to them.

EA certainly needs to be doing more research on this and communicating its progress to the BF2 community, at the VERY least.

Re: All I can stand, I can't stand no more!!!! Connection Problems

Heh, i am having the same problem, i've researched it a bit and here's what i know:

While playing on servers to which i have ~20 ping,
everything went lagless until i get into a fast moving vehicle,
or especially a chopper or a jet

Then my ping starts jumping to 600, 400, etc.

Now, my pc's go like that:
pc_b -> pc_a -> cable modem

i play bf2 on pc_a (where i've recently reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem)
no firewalls are turned on at all too.

I put ping plotter(software that traceroutes specific ip's every couple of seconds)
on pc_b and made it ping the server while on pc_a i was in bf2 playing it

all went well at first,
then suddenly the first hops (pc_a to isp) and together with them,
all of the rest started going completely haywire.

I don't know what causes this problem,
it might be the game flooding my connection,
or it might be my cable modem, or my isp,

but i see that i'm def. not the only one having this problem
so most likely it's the game.

Same ere, Me and my bro were sharing our connection over LAN, When I was downloading or using the internet he'd get connection problems and get ****ed off.
