Connection Problem Troubleshooting

[Priby]

This is for the guys, with the connection problem after loading:

Go to your BF2 directory (X/Program Files/EA Games/Battlefield 2)

Now click following Icons.


There should pop up a firewall-window which asks you, if you want to allow the application or not. Click the allowance-button. Do this for all 3.

And Tadaaaa! PR is working again.
Atleast it worked for me.

Servus,
Priby

I dont have them like you I have similar one's, but no pop up comes up for me to allow them, ive also tryed turning everything off on my computer eg. Firewall, Antivirsus, spyware etc... and still disconnects me, this is very weird hope it gets sorted soon.

here's what i have Priby,

I also have a strange disconection bug and I have only experienced it with the .85 version of the mod? It always disconnects me after around 30 minutes of play. It does not matter what server I am on either....

I have tried all the fixes in this thread but nothing is working. I run xp and have all the bells and whistles to make this game run fine, which it did for every other version of PR. This sucks because I love playing PR and now I cannot....

Ok i used to get disconnnected frequently but i have fixed that through turning my sound quality down and EAX off. But now i play for an hour or and then get booted, however as it crashes with connection problem i can still hear my squad perfectly in voip for approx 5 seconds before it goes back to main menu.

vista, full proper install, sound quality low, EAX off, set affinity tried, esc trick tried.

I too am having this problem. I really like this game but these issues are really turning me off to it. Ive never had such a hard time trying to play a game, and yes I know its a mod...thats been out for 4 years...

Ive tried just about everything suggested in this thread and others yet it still happens. Sometimes I can play for hours and hours, then other times I cant even play 2 minutes with out getting "connection to the server has been lost".

Anyone know if any of the devs have addressed the issue? I would be nice to know they are at least trying to figure it out. Seems like to many people are having this problem for it to just be ignored.

I just downloaded Project Reality today, and i went to join a training server, and it loaded...

Except as soon as i went to choose my kit and spawn point, i noticed my mouse was frozen. It wasn't the entire game, since i could view the score board and i saw the timer moving down etc.

So while i thought my mouse had died, i got kicked from the server by punkbuster for 0 minutes, and gave me this:

(A1392 C2.181)

The same thing happened with other servers i went to join, so i came here and downloaded that punkbuster update tool and updated BF2, when it was updating i saw it said that number the kick message got me so i thought i'd fixed the problem so i went to join a server again, except my mouse was still frozen.

So, any ideas as to what's causing this?

Thanks.
