Okay, so I've had this problem for quite some time now and I tried so many things but I just cant fix it.

When playing PR I will get from time to time a limited internet connection. Meaning I will disconnect from the server, and my internet stops working for like 30-50 seconds. I'm on windows 8.1 and if such a thing happens I will usually alt tab and disable/enable my connection for 10 times or so untill it works again.

If I then alt tab back to the game it will crash to desktop saying: "PR has been closed off (or something in that kind).

It has been happening when I'm on Wifi and when i'm just using a wire connection.

I have a second graphics card (NVIDIA 740M) that doesnt seem to show up, how do I know if i'm playing PR on the integrated chipset or on the nvidia card?

I have a second graphics card (NVIDIA 740M) that doesnt seem to show up, how do I know if i'm playing PR on the integrated chipset or on the nvidia card?

I can answer this one first:

go to the Nvidia control panel and select the PRLAUNCHER.EXE, then the PRBF2.EXE, and choose each to run the NVidia GPU instead of the integrated GPU. Hope this helps.

1) Manage 3D settings
2) Program Settings
3) Add PRLauncher.exe
ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncher.exe
4) Select the preferred graphics processor for this program. Choose your discrete GPU.

5) Add PRBF2.exe
ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\PRBF2.exe
6) Select the preferred graphics processor for this program. Choose your discrete GPU.

To fix disconnects, let try to do this:

fix on Microsoft's site:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2533454

Select "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6" from the link, and run the setup, then restart your PC when it asks you to do so.

How it works:
Windows 8 prefers IPv6 over the IPv4 by default. If you make it prefer IPv4 over the other, PR will launch without any problem, and you will still be able to view sites that use IPv6.

Thanks,

Let's hope this fixes it.

Edit: Nope, still get the limited connectivity.

And the only fixes I can find apply to limited wifi connectivity. Is there a possibility this problem is related to Wifi but still persists when I'm using a wired connection?

Edit: Haven't had any disconnects in quite some time, so I guess it's fixed. Thank you so much!
