[-1-Gabe-1-]

Hi guys,,Ive noticed this since the open beta. Thing is the game wont disconnect from a local server or online server. The screen gets stuckwint the "Disconnecting" message,,Ive waited as much as 10 minutes just to see if the magic happens with no luck.

Ive also checked the task manager and ive noticed thats there's no activity while in the disconnecting process..

I hope im clear enough..

Im posting my specs.. any other info that is requiredes plz ask...

Thanks in advance!!!

Is there any music, background menu video, or anything else happening while you wait?
When you first start PR< before you join the first server, can you update the server list?

My guess is PR is trying to update the server list and is getting stuck...
I think that sounds like a probable cause of this.

This might be a port forwarding problem with your router.

[quote=""'[R-COM"]LITOralis.nMd;1890674']You have ports blocked, either through a software firewall or hardware router, of the ports used to query the master server list on the gamespy network.

Particularly to your problem you need to open this port:
28900 (Master Server List Request)

Other ports that could be opened:
- opening the following ports
UDP: 1024-1124,16567,27900,28910,1500-4999
TCP: 1024-1124,28900,29901

I'm guessing you are getting this error message?
- connecting via PRSPY: Game starts, then shows this message "Your connection to the server has been lost."

[quote="Knautscher""]Have tons of my finest thanks good sir!

It seems to have been this TCP port:

28900 (Master Server List Request)

I just added that port (because of it's name) et voil?: 71 servers in the server browser. This particular port was not in the list of a German site I had used for setting up my port config, so thanks for pointing me at Gamespy directly, next time I'll know where to look!

I'll keep my eyes open for a few days, but it seems to have been fixed.

Should any other problems arise, I will start by using the other fixes you posted and only then will check back.

Swift reply, issue resolved - THANKS![/quote]

Thanks for the quick answer.

The background keeps on refreshing normally,,I mean,,everything looks and sounds normal. I personally dont think it's an update server list issue since it also happens when i create a local server,,as i said before.
I had this same issue with the open beta,,and Ive been playing PR since it's earlies releases,,many many years ago, without this issue that im addressing to you guys now.

I need to kill the pr process in order to re launch the game,,real pain in the ***

Any other options or ideas??

By the way..thanks for keeping on improving the game,,after so many years,,really,,,thanks!!

Looking forward some more answers

Regards to you all!

No news guys??? Some1 else having this issue???

[LITOralis.nMd]

Could be a problem releasing memory from the PageFile.

Memory: 3.00 GB
DIMM Modules: DIMM0: 1024.00 MB @ 800 MHz
DIMM1: 2.00 GB @ 800 MHz

Are you using GameBooster or otherwise minimizing the number of background processes running while playing games?

[-1-Gabe-1-]

Hey,,thanks for the reply,, Pagefile it's fixed at a minimum of 4606Mb and a max of 4606 Mb too.. While in game memory load is at 2gigs and the page loads up to another 2 gigs,, Task manager stays around 70% and cpu load at about 67%... No clogs at all..

The only thing running in the background is the EVGA X Precision which I use to monitor the load and temp of the GPU,,which,,never showed in clogs either..

The Nod32 is manually disabled before playing...

Gonna take a couple of SS to show u guys the general load prompted in the task manager as well as the EVGA X Precision..

Cheers and thanks again!!!

[-1-Gabe-1-]

SS1 just rebooted




SS2 After launching the game



SS3 In game at muttrah city hog's server




Hope it helps
