last night a bit later on I decided to have another quick game and couldnt stay connected to a single game for more than 10 seconds. Latency was fine on all of these. anyone else have these problems?
😡Bugglefield 2142 🙄
You may want to update punbuster, download the files into the PB C:program FilesElectronic ArtsBattlefield 2142PB
you can get the updated files from http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/bf2142/pbsec.htm
Let me know if your still having problems
Aye tiz a strange game.. EVERYONE gets CTD these days on it.. *touch wood* I aint had one for a few days.. weird!
cheers lammie. trying it now. will inform you on what happens. In fact im going to try now before hand to see if it was server side wierdness 1st
well it stopped for awhile (without doing punkbuster) and its started to do it again tonight. I put punkbusters new files in but no difference 🙄
As I have posted before, – I have had serious connection problems since installing wireless – ping of 341 on the XDc server, loss of connection, no green light servers only red…
Now before you stop reading, I have now got BF2142 running sweet on wireless BB, last night I had a ping av. of 28 – which is pretty reasonable considering.
This may/may not help you, –
Installed along with the Belkin equipment I am using to connect to a wireless network was a file called WinXPZeroConfigation.exe (or similar)
you need to dispose of this file immediatly – it hogs all memory processing now game will run alongside this process.Do a start> run> cmd> netstat -a -o
open task manager, click on the processes tab,
click ‘view’ in the menu,
click select columns,
check the box next to PID,
put the task manager next to your CMD window you can cross reference PID numbers to see if anything is hogging your bandwidth, e.g. win messenger.Another thing you may want to try ( i used to use this when i used AOHELL for my isp) is to go into task manager and set the priority for BF2142 to high as opposed to normal, when i first got BF42 i constantly got connection problems and the dreaded 1023 ping and the problem was with AOL not supporting online gaming at that time, i remember being a beta tester for a particular version of AOL and it worked great, the next release the damn problem came back! By setting the priority to high it solved the problem for me.
Just an idea chaps……good luck.
Well my connection has been knackered for about 4 weeks now, down to a bad sync between my router and the exchange(low SNR), its a RADSL problem, its fine during the day, but looses sync every ten minutes or so in the evening, BT are trying to resolve still (even tho I have given them the answer). Shame really coz I bought BF2142 (despite thinking it was poo) last weekend and I cannot play it!
Check what your ISP does during peak times.
I dropped Tiscali because they used to throttle bandwidth in peak times – typically between 7& 11 at night, although it used to vary.
Outside of these times I would get a ping of 30ms pretty reliably and a good download speed. But during peak times this would go to nearly 200ms and rubbish speeds.
It was a concious policy by the ISP.
