Secondly, try the Cpu trick, it does not give ANY drop in preformance what so EVER..

Well... yes, your'e right...
Secondly, it was the CPU trick: the file modified the bf.exe in such a way that it sets the CPU trick automatically. But as I said... Punkbuster (strangely it doesn't kick me out on TacticalGamer).

so does anyone have any other ideas that will stop the Lost connection to server issue?

tried doin the PB thing, doesnt work

tried doin the ESC thing. doesnt work

Now, that I have back the old (unmodiefied) BF2.exe, it happens again! I can't get rid of this damn problem. It's even worse this time. I'm getting kicked about every two minutes, even I checked only one CPU-core (manually), disabled my router firewall, my personal and my antivir-network-protection...

I really don't know why I'm getting this bug...

Regardless of server, even on vanilla BF2, after 45 mins of being on a server, I get dropped =/

I got the same problem here. Playing 45-55 mins. without any problem, then it drops me back to the menu with a popup "Your connection to the server...". When I connect to the same server again, I have my scores still there.

What I did:
- Tested many different routers
- Tested other network card
- I even formatted my PC and made a new BF2 Profile
- My ISP connected my line to another switchport

Nothing helped, I still loose SERVERconnection (Internetconnection is still there) after about 45-55 mins.

Any new hints or solution?

I played BF2 always on 64bit Windows XP sp2, i reformate the otherday back too Windows XP 32bit and once i restalled PR i lost connections from the server 2-3 mins after entering the game.

I restalled 32bit windowns agine thinking maybe i got a bad install, same issue.

Restalled back too Windows XP 64bit and no connection issue what so ever.

So if you have 64bit Windows give it a try.

My problem is that when I click on a map for example Operation Ghost Train its starts to load but only for a few seconds and "poof" the game crashes and im back on the windows desktop.

Please help me with some advice on how to tackle this problem. Thank you kindly!

My connection problem starts ones I choose a site. It starts to gather resources, and quits about 1/5 of the screen and blanks out. That is, it doesn't show B2F anywhere as it stops the program cold. I have the latest modes, installs went perfect, and even rebooted after each install. Also, I have a AMD Quad PHenom 9600 Quad-Cord, with 2.31 GHZ and 3G of Ram

What's the solution?

Okay sorry for rezzing this but:

After I load a map, its normal for 3 seconds, then connection problems come ups and shortly booted to menu.

I have tried ESC trick and, it does not work (Nor does pb_sleep 500 or nickbond's suggestion earlier)

Strangely, it only happens with servers over 40 Players.
