You do know im an simple admin?

Sorry but i wouldnt use this result as a fact, there is more than 20 new forum users just in 2018, no way that matches reality in terms of players in the server.

Bogus forum accounts.

Try google, he gets more hits than his "namesake"

Just some days ago i had a perfect connection albeit a slightly higer ping, today it still seems stable, but the latency shot up to double.

Since you have a AMD cpu, you could try locking the bf42 process to one core (affinity) only.

Without going into depths of howtos and whys, here is a file you can use to start the game with, drop it in the folder where you have the game installed. You can rightklick it and "make shortcut on desktop". If you dont want it on desktop you can move the shortcut later or copy it to where ever you want. You can change its icon to.

-----------------------------------------------

If you want to make your own file here is how to do it, make empty notepad file, copy and paste the code, save and close the file (name it whatever you like), then change the ending of the filename from .txt to .bat (eg myfile.txt to myfile.bat)

start /affinity 1 BF1942.exe

note: on my computer the 1 stands for core one, but sometimes the core count starts at 0. it should not matter in your case, but should teh computer complain you can try change affinity to 0

Turns out windows have a set value of dynamic UDP ports. Managed to change these values for testing, dont know if this can help in this particular case, but its easy enough to give it a try.

netsh int ipv4 show dynamicport udp 

netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport udp start=10000 num=1000

Playing in BFO server

you´re symptoms getting worse.

Only to you my "special" friend.

He could still be in a shared subnet, if so im wondering if it could be a congestion problem as he seems to be able to connect some times and others times it refuse.

The mobilephone internet most certainly does share a subnet, IPv4 has been running low on IP numbers for a long time now, and IPv6 just sucks (in my opinion)

edit:example of an IPv6 address is: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

Try and remember that adress lol

As Trench say, you dont need to open any ports in your firewall. It opens the right port that your game use because "the call out" is coming from your computer, so it already knows this connection is allowed. Or atleast thats how its supposed to work. It seems the game client often use ports between 500000 and 65535 so you could try open them (UDP only) just for checking (check manual for open a IP range)

Its a really weird problem because other game works, and also it works with phone internet.

I know some modem/routers use one of the outgoing ports special for television services, but that seems far fetched to. Maybe check for a firmware update?

edit: just to sure, you have the game set with compabillity mode and run as admin? i guess you have, but better ask once to much.
