Lord Vader 89 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 It keeps saying "Connection to host lost." when I join some servers. It always happens in the Yavin Space map and sometimes in the Utapau map. Never on the Tantive IV map. Anyone know how to solve this problem? And yes I have all the anti-virus stuff off, and have opened all the required ports for gamespy on both my router and windows. This has prevented me from playing the space map, which is the main reason that I downloaded the beta for.
zerted Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 You connection might not be fast enough to keep a signal with the server, or you may have to many programs/services open.
MachineCult Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I downloaded it ok, but when i try and run it nothing happens.
Kurgan Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Scan for viruses... or perhaps you've gotten a corrupt download.

Kurgan Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 If you've got a firewall or router, you may need to open some ports. I am not sure exactly what port ranges SWBF2 beta uses though... But with my software firewall, I just gave the Exe permissions, so it works.
Darth Derkie Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 I had those Connection to host lost messages too. I solved it by re-installing win xp. And I also solved my issiue with the comp being slower than it should be.

If not, re-install tha patches and see if that breaks SWBF2, then lets us know. Are you sure windows firewall wasn't on?
Darth Derkie Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 No, i just updated it... or something like that. I didn't have to remove all my files, everything is still installed.

This has prevented me from playing the space map, which is the main reason that I downloaded the beta for. I've had that problem maybe 1 in 10 servers I join. Just pick a new server if that happens. But as for firewalls/routers, I have a linksys router and didn't have to open ANY ports specifically for SW:BF2. LA learned from its mistake with SW:GB and decided to use common gaming ports.

THX1138_Scorpio Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 I said I wasn't having any problems....
master_skywalke Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 I got the same problem, but first I get major lag.This only happens on servers with over 50 people.
