Hey folks, need your opinions on a recent gaming/connection problem...

Post by HawaiianGhost »

Just this past week I have been getting this constant annoying error when playing BFV:

"WARNING!! Connection Problem....yadayadayad......."

And I would stall/lag anywhere from 2 sec upto a whole minute!! Once I even got disconnected from a server... My pings range from 14 - 77ms in all the servers I join, i.e. one server would be 14ms and another would be 77ms consistently. My buddies that are in the same server don't ever get this error as often as I do. In one session I would get this error probably over 15+ times - that's annoying!!

Do you think it could be a "Dirty" line connection? I've run tests but cannot find any problems.

I did a "line test" also but don't quite understand it and still gots to figure out how to become pingable with this Linksys WCG200 router I have:

Overall all I see is that even with my High connection speed and low pings (avg most server at 40-60ms) I still have these connection errors and I don't know what's causing it...? *Everything in the background is turned off also, I've run spybot, ad-aware & norton too...

hope someone can help, I know I probably should've post in the broadband forums but my issue with this is mostly in gaming that's why I posted here instead....

thanks for any help... :)

It's probably PB doing it.

You must REMOVE your router from the equation. Just hook up directly to your PC.....if the problem persists, it is either your nic, your PC, or a line/connection problem. Have you done any trace routes? There is probably a bad router that you are constantly hitting as you leave your ISP's network. It's happened to me as well....just a bad hop down the line, nothing you can do really. But to rule out a bad router on your end....disconnect it please. If that cures the problem, then maybe you need a firmware update for your router. Or maybe it's gone titsup.

After looking at your test results, I think it's just a bad router down the path....nothing you can do but to report it to your ISP as well as whoever owns it.

I've been down that same path with my ISP and bad routers. HG, it does look like a router issue.
