Hi guys,

I was playing PR this morning and i had a good match, for 5 minutes. Then a error came up "You have lost connection to this server", I thought it was just one off so i wasnt that mad. Then, it came up every minute, This made me furious. Ive searched all over the net, nothing works! I live in Australia with ADSL 2 (20mbs download and 2mbs upload) And have 200ping, I see others with 200ping, they dont DC. So im wandering whats is causing this madness? Ive triedto get help for the people ingame, It didnt work, Running PR has admin, Changing into Windows Vista, Disabling stuff, Update Punkbuster, etc. Any help? :confused:

Since we've changed over to Mumble and disabled the ingame voip, I would've thought this issue wouldn't persist, but it could UDP flood detection from your router.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.


So how do i prevent these detections, thus me being DC'd, I had a look around in my router's settings and i found this

Can this be linked to it? Or is there a another way to fix the Flooding?

Well one way to test it is to disable *all* security/firewall measures in your router... like anything you can find, save, restart the router... then try to play.

If you're able to play without disconnects, then you can enable services one by one until you find the culprit.

If you still get connected, there are two options:
  • A PC config issue
  • Your ISP is doing some shenanigans.

Do you have an Arris modem/router?
