Your Connection To The Server Has Been Lost

[kilroy0097]

That Esc trick worked for me. Immediately when it says "Problem with your Connection" press the Esc key and go to the menu. Then come back out and suddenly it's all fixed. Rinse repeat. When you press Esc your PC sends a different kind of packet to the server or DICE Stats server. Until it sees that packet sometimes it forgets you are there for some reason. I have no idea why.

^ can anyone else confirm this?

This "connection lost" problem is mostly if not all routing issue with VoIP. Some firewalls are considering VoIP packets Denial of Service (DoS) attack therefore closing connection.

Try disabling VoIP in your sound settings, or shut down all firewalls (this is what EA Tech support suggested). If it works you should also be able to fix it.

lol! either no teamwork b/c no voip (reason why i play pr)
or no security...

There might be other reasons but this one worked for me. I still can keep Windows firewall on.

It's not issue with all servers. Problem came out on many servers that were over half full and had longer routing between server and client. So I guess when server starts to response slower and there is longer (slower) way for VoIP packets they are considered (by some firewalls) as DoS packets. Maybe this can somehow happen at client end too, e.g. computer is slow at map start, or maybe that's something else and not firewall related at all.

I don't know, i get it on the TG server frequently, but as has been said in other places that server is full constantly. Though as a supporting member that's not a problem i usually only have a pin of 18-25 there. Maybe it's something with the X-FI cards and related to the EAX problems some people are having, if it's somehow related to VoIP? The escape trick has never worked for me, I'm always disconnected fully from the server though not from EA's stat tracker (when my net connection drops, I'm disconnected from that however, so I know)

i get the same thing exept half the time its a network data corruption error, also it happens to me sometimes before the loading is done... what should i do there?

[Noobofthenight]

I've been getting the same problem for a while now... really frustrating, only happened since 0.7!

I wish someone would find a way to fix this. This more than anything has ruined PR for me. I am having a good time, leading a squad, working my ass off to get them where they need to go, setting up for what seems like hours to attack or defend, then BOOM...Connect lost.

FIX IT.
