Host Connection Lost (Multiplayer - Urgent!)

[TravisSivart]

Hey,

I purchased Battlefront 2 from Steam just earlier today. Since then, I have been constantly trying to play multiplayer, but it doesn't let me.

I've disabled fire wall, disabled antivirus, ended background processes, and everything.

I can't find the problem.

 

Here's what happens.

I start BF2 - Takes about a minute to load into the main screen.

I then click multiplayer, sign in to gamespy, and now I click and join a server.

Now, it takes yet another minute to load, then it gets to the loading page which only takes like 10 seconds. Now it shows the map and a popup saying something like, "Host Connection Lost" or very similar. I can't find any answers from the internet to this or anything, which is why I came here.

 

Please help as I am so busy with a few things and need to get this over with.

Thanks a lot,

Travis
