Thread: Random connection loss

Every now and then I get the connection error in-game, however my internet is fine. I get there is a problem with your connection for like 10 seconds, then I just continue. It's really annoying, especially when I'm flying. There is nothing wrong with my computer. In fact, it happens on both my computers, both XP and Vista (which is about 4 months old; video card is 3 weeks old). I cleaned the disc, I have not defragged my computers because I don't think that memory or viruses are the problem.

This happens very sporadically; maybe once a round or every other round or twice in the same round. It gets really annoying because I'm usually in the fight and when that happens I get pissed off and then I'm dead.

Anyone know the problem? Or better yet the solution?

Have you ran a tracert (trace route).... You could be experiencing some lag with your service provider....

Go to your start menu and select all programs and accessories and scroll down to command prompt and select that and then type...

tracert (server number here) and hit enter.

You can take a screenshot and post it in off the server.... We have a sticky there for this very thing.

I've been having the same issues but it hasn't been enough for me to trouble shoot it. I have time warner (road runner) and I'm in hawaii. Follow what commander said and post it up and the guys here might be able to help you out.

Ok, here are my results to the TTP bf2 ranked server

I used to have this same problem.. About once or twice a week I wouldnt get a connection lost but it looked like my internet connection was still active but at the exact moment I lost connection to the server if I alt tabbed and tried to ping say google.com I would get time outs.. More than likely it is an ISP problem.. Sometimes it could be router related(memory in router could be having some issues) also.
