There is a problem with your connection

[Willsdorff]

Hi there !

First, I want to apologize about my english, its kind of rusty, and I'll be maybe wrong with "technical" terms.

I had reinstalled PR about a week ago on a new computer, and I've got some connection issue. When I'm at home, and when I want to play, I've got this message "There is a problem with your connection" every 2 minutes on all servers. Im not disconnected, but its annoying. I have a good connection (100 mb/s), and it is wired (a cable connected to my computer, im not sure its the good word). Im on a new computer, which working on Windows 8.1. I never had this problem with my former computer on the same connection.

But when Im at work ( ), where there is a wifi connection, i have no problem and no lags.

Do I need to open ports, or something ? Windows 8.1 is pissing me off, the problem may come from here, I must maybe activate or deactivate something.

Thanks a lot for your help !

That's pretty funny Imagine gaming at work. And welcome to the forums, I had noticed your first post there

This really belongs in the support section, not bugs.

If you are on a firewall router (NAT Router with), try disabling Windows 8.1 Firewall. Worth a try.

Disabling the computer's firewall on a Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 computer

Battlefield 2 uses multiple ports, so the simple solution is to disable the built-in firewall if you are behind a wireless or wired NAT Router like Netgear, etc, or use a third-party firewall like comodo firewall, zonealarm etc that will detect PR and Battlefield 2 so you can allow the requests.

Do you connect with a router?
Is Windows 7 the work computer?

Hi Arab, thanks for your answer !

Yeah, im working in a bar, its pretty quiet the early evening, it has a good wifi connection and Im the manager .. so, i do what i want Multitasking at its best : serving pints when fighting, years of training !

Im sorry if my post isnt in the good section, I'll move it.
I tried to disable the firewall, it didn't work.

I dont know if Im connecting via a router. I live in a students residence, and i ve got a cable plug on my wall. But I ve never had this problem before, when i was playing PR from 0.971 to v1.1.

Anyway, thanks for your help !
