Constant disconnects

I keep getting disconnected from the server immediately after connecting. It was working fine all week long last week, now I can't join you guys in game. Help. =[

Re: Constant disconnects

Hi abortminor,

Have you tried playing in other BF1942 servers? Do you keep getting disconnected there?

Re: Constant disconnects

Your server has always been the only one to work for me, actually. Now that's not even working. =[

Re: Constant disconnects

Try connecting to RusBF.ru or SiMPLE | BF1942 No key [USA]. There is no plausible reason not to be working.

Re: Constant disconnects

Both connected and actually held the connection, but when I try it on the French server, I'm in game for a few minutes tops before I get disconnected. Seems to have started messin' up when the experiments with extra slots started. This sucks, man. You guys have the only decent server.

Re: Constant disconnects

Please post a video or some screenshots. I want to see to believe it. Sorry for doubting you, but today there has been too much trolling around here.

Re: Constant disconnects

A video is preferred. Use Bandicam, Fraps or Xfire to record your video. It can be in a low resolution.

There's a vid of how quickly I get disconnected. This happens every time I join the server.

Re: Constant disconnects

Doesn't seem to stop. I've uninstalled/reinstalled/patched. Reset my router and modem. Tried a different network card. I'm at a loss.

Re: Constant disconnects

That's really weird. Are you using any firewall while playing? If so, try disabling it.

Re: Constant disconnects

Weird... you reinstalled everything and it still doesnt work? Hmmm... tuia is right, try the firewall or ask you provider if there are problems with the connection. Who knows, could also be...

I had this same problem for a while and in the end I just needed to update punkbuster to the latest version - I tried uninstalling and reinstalling battlefield, re-applying all the patches, but it's actually because most servers now use the latest version of punkbuster and if yours isn't up to date, it will kick you from the server - The majority of the time it doesn't say you were kicked, it just says "Disconnected from server".

You can download the updater here: http://box24.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

You will have to manually check for updates against each game.

Hope that helps you get it sorted :-)

Re: Constant disconnects

Downloaded and installed. Not sure how to get bf1942 on the list, though. Seems to have all the battlefield games except 42.

Re: Constant disconnects

Battlefield 1942 is no longer supported by PunkBuster. I don't believe installing PunkBuster can solve your current problem, as our server doesn't have PunkBuster enabled. You can try, however, to install PunkBuster from here: http://www.pbbans.com/forums/punkbuster … 12090.html.

Re: Constant disconnects

And correct you are, tuia. Unless I installed it wrong. All my other games work fine with no lag. BF1942 just hates me. = Thanks anyway, fellas.
