Cannot log in. "Server refused connection"

Post by single.shot (nor) »

Hi!

Problem outline: I start PR up, and login (as usual), but my login gets refused. I am sure I have the correct password, and it gives me this strange error message that I have not seen before. I have not modded PR, or done anything to the local files.

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise

Memory: 8192MB RAM
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GT 240
DirectX 11 (if that helps...)

EDIT: I cannot for some reason post the full rez in the link... stupid photobucket keeps resizing it.

Does that happen just now? Or has it been happening yesterday already?

Happened the first time today.



Edit: (didn't play yesterday, so I wouldn't know)

This is happening to me and my brother too. We both installed BF2 and PR yesterday (after being unable to do so for a long time due to a bug in the 1.5 patch) and were playing without problems all day. Today however, we're both getting this problem:

When I start PR, or BF2, I get a black screen for around 30 seconds before the logos appear.
Then I'll get to the login screen, but it just keeps giving me the message "The server has refused the connection"

So it worked yesterday but not today, without making any changes to the system in between. I've tried the following fixes, unsuccessfully...

Updating PunkBuster
Re-entering my password in the login screen
Deleting and retrieving my account again
Deleting the Battlefield 2 directory in My Documents
Reinstalling BF2 and PR

My guess is EA's account server is down. Me and my brother are in Sweden and I see you (single.shot) are Norwegian, so maybe the problem is local to Scandinavia...

If it worked yesterday, and today it doesn't, it's most likely Gamespy (account) server maintenance.

Should be back up later.

Yea, I think so too. And I bloody hope so. Was so happy to finally get to play PR again, and then this happens :hissyfit:
