Disconnect every 6-15 minutes.

[Bob12432]

Everything works fine,Mumble,joining etc,no Problems.

But i get a Server disconnect roughly every 6-15 Minutes.

I can immediately rejoin ,then again between 6-15 Minutes until disconnect.I play mainly on MERK,PRTA,NEW Servers,everywhere the same.

Every other Multiplayer Game (for Example:bf3,PS2,Tf2) shows no Problems.

Tried a clean Install on a spare Harddrive. Nothing but Windows 7 pro , Drivers and PR. Same Problem persists.

Anyone else got that Problem?

I had a similar problem and discovered it was a Citrix program that loads at start-up. I use it to connect to work e-mail from home, so I couldn't delete it but I shut it down before I play.

You might have something similar running.

I have recently upgraded my MOBO/CPU. But no Problems of any kind with *any* of my Gazillion other Multiplayer Games or Internet Connections.

@ AFsoccer : I did a superclean install on a formatted second Harddrive, *only* Win7 pro/Drivers/Chrome/Daemon tools lite/ Bf2 + Patch 1.41 + Patch 1.5 + Project Reality.

Still disconnect like a Clockwork every 6-15 Minutes .
"lost connection to Server" then Main menu.
If Serverslot available, an reconnect no Problem.
Perfectly fluid Gameplay,no Lag no nothing.
Then again Connection Loss after 6 to 15 Minutes.

Well hopefully Litoralis will have some ideas. He's super genius when it comes to troubleshooting people's problems.

PS: Have you tried running PR in windowed mode to see if anything pops up or if your computer loses focus?

All drivers recommended by Asrock installed properly except the Broadcom Ether Controller.
I used a free Driver Detective scan and it indicated that the driver I needed was actually a Realtek Lan Controller, installing that actually worked.

THis is an option, but not the solution. I>E>, you need to research this yourself:

Find the Realtek Lan Controller , Win7 (32 or 64 bit) for your extreme4, completely uninstall the broadcom driver, reboot, then use DriveCleaner to clean out the crumbs, and then install the realtek driver.

I'm kind of having the same problem but sometimes the game freezes for a couple of minutes instead of disconnecting. (also I'm not that technical so I have no idea what is causing it and am hardly willing to do much about it...)
