bf 2142 connection problems.

elem3nt309 · 02-15-2007, 06:51 PM

I have been playing battlefield 2142 for about 6 months now. NO problems at all other then some OCCASIONAL lost connections. A day ago, i started getting the "problem with your connection sign" 30 seconds into every round i joined. THis would freeze and send me back to the list of servers. The odd part was, my connection on the desktop was at 54mbps w/ an excellent connect. I called my verizon guy and he opened all my ports. but that didnt work.
If any one has any ideas,
they would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
sam

Hello, bit of a newb here but I've installed BF 2142 for the first time and although it runs perfectly as a singleplayer game (very dull after a while) I can't seem to connect to any external servers, entering the multiplayer screen simply lists no servers avaliable. Running norton Protection Center (pretty much on default settings) and Vista, all my tech-specs are well above what it needed for the game, wireless cable-modem net connection. Run through the basic checking steps on the help forum, any ideas?

i am having this exact same problem, except that it has progressed so that I cannot even get to the loading map page before it bumps me back to the menu with a lost connection message... i made a video of my problem here

Have any of you tried updating Punk Buster. It has been known to cause many connection problems. Also, make sure you have the latest update. If that doesn't fixya, post and I'll try to find the page I used to fix the same problems... later...http://www.techsupportforum.com/images/smilies/wave.gif
