Just hoping someone here might have an idea to fix my problem.

I have charter pipeline. Motorola SB4200 modem. 2.8mhz with 800 FSB. 1 gig of ram. Abit Ic7 board. ATI 9600pro with newest catalyst drivers.

during internet gameplay my ping never approaches more then 50. I get disconnected at random times from 5 minutes to 16 minutes or so.

thanks,
kenred

I have checked my largesystemcache and it is set to 0
I have also reset my router.

Hi Kenred, have you tried playing without the router, IE your internet cable straight into your pc ? If not, could you try that ?

Also, do you have any firewall running ?

nick · « **Reply #2 on:** March 30, 2004, 11:06:47 am »

Or do u have punkbuster disabled

??

Not likely but maybe.....

kenred · « **Reply #3 on:** April 01, 2004, 01:56:34 pm »

I have punkbuster enabled. With other games that use punkbuster like ET I have no problems.

I tried it without the router. still get the problem. I have also powered off then reset my modem without luck.

dazed and confused still

Do you have a firewall installed ?

kenred · « **Reply #5 on:** April 01, 2004, 07:24:41 pm »

No firewall.

Norton antivirus corporate edition running.

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #6 on:** April 01, 2004, 10:26:41 pm »

Could you try the following:

The moment the "Warning Connection Problems Detected" thing comes up, press Escape, wait for the game to refresh the game servers, then press Escape again to return to the game.

Also, you mentioning Norton gives me the shivers...

kenred · « **Reply #7 on:** April 02, 2004, 04:58:14 am »

is Norton that bad for games?

will try the escape thing

thanks

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #8 on:** April 02, 2004, 10:31:12 am »

Well, let's just say I've seen my fair share of problems Norton could cause (specificly with Norton Anti virus 2003).

Let me know if the escape thing worked.

kenred · « **Reply #9 on:** April 03, 2004, 03:12:17 am »

Tried the escape solution without any results. Still having same problem.

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #10 on:** April 03, 2004, 10:43:28 am »

Do you have Norton running in the background while playing ? If so, try turning it off.

Another thing is, are you able to uninstall Norton for test puropses ? Just to see if it's the cause of your problems.

Next to that, do you have any virtual drive running ?

kenred · « **Reply #11 on:** April 03, 2004, 10:35:40 pm »

Docnyar,
Uninstalled my norton and ran the game. same problem.

NO virtual drive that I know of running.

Bako · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2004, 12:08:14 pm »

Hey kenred,

Are you actually seeing a Connection Problem message and then get disconnected, or just the Connection Problem message ?
Have you also already tried to re-install BFV ?

Also, do you have your system overclocked ?
(and also have your RAM set to a faster bus speed ?)

Rgs,
Bako

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2004, 10:33:10 am »

If what Bako suggested din't help, could you attach your dxdiag ?

kenred · « **Reply #14 on:** April 07, 2004, 03:15:59 pm »

I am not overclocking anything on my system.

What I see is the Connection problem exists warning, then I cannot move at all. After about 10 seconds the game kicks out to the server .

It sounds to me like you have a backdoor worm on your computer.Many people I play with on Planetside have complained of similar things happening to them.

Visit Symantec .com and run the online virus scanner,even Norton and McAffee are not detecting them.
I downloaded AVG anti virus it's free and available from grisoft.com, since I installed it I havn't had another virus and my game connection has stopped dropping out all the time.

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #16 on:** April 07, 2004, 06:25:02 pm »

Good suggestion Atomic...

kenred · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2004, 04:35:02 pm »

Thanks I'm running the online virus right now. I am very diligent about updating my norton's corporate edition. Tried to uninstall and reinstall the game without results.

kenred

thanks for all your ideas and help

kenred · « **Reply #18 on:** April 09, 2004, 04:49:41 pm »

The online symatec scan came up without finding anything.

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2004, 07:52:47 pm »

Kenred, could you attach your dxdiag ?

Go to Start => Run and there type dxdiag. Run the tests on the video/display and sound tab. Once done, on the first tab you'll see a button save all info. Save it as a txt file and attach it to your dxdiag.

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2004, 04:04:02 pm »

Could you try to play with the sound turned off (all).

kenred · « **Reply #23 on:** April 11, 2004, 07:16:34 pm »

turned off all sounds. Game played what may have been a bit longer but still disconnected.

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #24 on:** April 12, 2004, 07:46:47 am »

As you have an onboard sound card, it may be worth while to try and disable it in the BIOS.

Also, try going to the following site and do a connection test:

I don't think there really is a fix for this, i don't know why, but there are TONS AND TONS of people who have this problem and they still have the same problem. I tried contacting ea about it twice, they gave me nothing. However, if i had this problem, i could tell you how to fix it, but i don't have this problem, so i have no idea how to fix it. Sorry.

NoNacK · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2004, 10:25:08 pm »

Hi there ! I got the same problem than you kenred. I have a 2.4 Pentium 4 with a radeon 128 mo.

I'm becoming creasy about this problem. Impossible to play more than 20 minutes, always being disconnecting. After I get disconect I can't go on Internet, I have to wait 2 minutes. Dont know why

I have a fast cable connection and share my connection with another PC with a D-Link router.

Please if someone know how to fix it, help us !!

P.S Sorry for my english but I'm french

NoNacK · « **Reply #27 on:** April 12, 2004, 11:56:41 pm »

I have disabled the sound in the Bios, me too I have a onboard sound card. And the disconnect faster than with sound...

Doc Nyar · « **Reply #28 on:** April 13, 2004, 11:27:00 am »

Hi NoNack, could you try to connect your pc directly to the internet, without connection sharing and without the router ?

Bako · « **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:40:18 pm »

Not to piss on anybody's parade, but I have been noticing more and more people having problems with BFV, that have a ATI card. Now, I'm not saying this is it, but I have also seen in other communities lots and lots of issues related to ATI. Do any of the people having problems with BFV, use a NVIDIA card ??
