you could be getting kicked because some of those full servers have reserved slots for members

maybe that is the cause?

Nooo man, believe me its not.... if the server was full, I couldnt load the map and enter the game.... i only enter when theres a free non-reserved slot, im sure of that :S

1. Open up the directory where bf2.exe lives (usually in program files > EA etc...)

2. Open "tools" -> Folder Options -> "view" tab -> Uncheck the box which says "hide extensions for known file types"

3. Create a new text document (right click in the folder -> New -> Text document)

4. Name the file Bf2launcher.bat (the name doesn't matter, as long as it is .bat)

5. Copy in the following code into the file:

Del "pb\\pbns.dat"
Start "Battlefield 2 Launcher" "BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart
Exit

The "+restart" is optional. It simply tells Bf2 to skip the movies



6. Now undo Part 2 (Hide the file type extension)

7. Make a shortcut of PRlauncher.bat

This gets rid of the pbns.dat before opening BF2

can you connect using ip address?

try this

i am not sure if it will work with PR

also reset firewall to default

and defrag harddrive

It might not be the pb isssue I thought it was


maybe you are banned from those servers ?


if you are using steam

turn off the ingame steam community overlay and notifications

Hmmm... I don?t use steam... but i have BF3 and Origin is simmilar to STEAM... I will try to turn it off and Play...


About beeing banned on NWA and Tactical Gamer servers, I warrantee you that I havent ;)


The message Iget is "Your connection to the server has been lost" and it appears as soon as i see the respawn\weapon choosing screen...

I will see what I can do but if you think it is NWA server

then posting on their forum is probably the best idea

I am not sure who on here is from NWA

At least for NwA I know they have some routing problems lately.
I recommend you contact NwA Orford or NwA Vandal.
