So here is my problem and it has only started happening this morning never had it before and i know for a fact it is not anything to do with my internet or ISP because my brother is playing on PR right now without any issues. Everytime i join ANY server i get disconnected either at the end of the loading or 10 minutes into playing. It is very frustrating when you have guys waiting in a squad for you to get on and you keep getting disconnected.

If you require any more information just ask

Any help on this would be greatly appriciated

I've once had the similar problem with previous pr mods(not anymore in 0.909 and newest) and it didn't happen anymore when i disabled VOIP. Try disabling it and see if that causes the problem.

I tried turning voip off but it did nothing but make my game crash. I tried reinstalling PR again but that didn't help either. Some more help on this required please as I have no clue what could be causing it

I understand the dev's and support team are always busy, but this really is an issue that needs an actual fix. The EXACT same thing happens to me, making the game unplayable. I have tried everything, but nothing works.

Check this next time. ( Making a shortcut for 'services' on desktop helps)

Check Punkbuster B is set to auto re-start.

on Services while PR is running. Select Punkbuster B, right click, select properties, select the

recovery tab and make sure they all say "Restart the service" for all three dropdowns. You can do

the same for PB A, but generally speaking, it's the B client that stops responding. Any time you

update PB, you may need to re-do this step.

W7 users = In services ( inside the 'log on' tab) check box which states “Allow this service to interact with the desktop.

Remember it is recommended that you restart your system after you install/uninstall
programs to ensure all installed components, files and registry entries are correctly installed or removed.
So it is key you restart after using pbsvc uninstall.

Some routers with 'packet inspection' turned on can also trigger a disconnect when game
data or voip traffic triggers a false "ping flood"attack and the router shuts down
needed ports to protect your network.
So try turning packet inspection off to see if that helps.
If you have a busy network you can also get dropped if your packets are consistently
getting delayed due to high traffic.( your ping jumps way up from time to time)
If your running Xp you can tune up your internet connection with TCP Optimizer to maximize throughput.
check out speed guides
web site
click here to use their
TCP/IP Analyzer
results will show if you can improve throughput.

Having a router like D-links gamers lounge, that can prioritize traffic( they call it
GameFuel), can make a night and day difference.
This GameFuel improves your online gaming experience by ensuring that your game traffic
is prioritized over other network traffic, such as FTP or Web. This is of course much more
helpful on networks with more than one user, but if you like to download bit torrent or
other large files in the background while gaming you'll be glad you have one that can prioritize or 'shape' traffic.
So the question is where is the bottle neck? Is it inside the network (your PC to your router) or outside (modem to game server)
Inside a better router should help.
Outside improved throughput should help

good luck

Something is blocking you. Remember even firewall 'rules' can get corrupted, so deleting them ( for BF2 and PR) them making new ones can't hurt and may fix it.
Check with your ISP to make sure it's not some upgrade or line work they're doing.
