Losing Connection Until Restart

[Piggy]

Don't know why, but ever since the EA server incident where no one could play properly, everytime I play occasionally I get "connection to server has been lost" until I restart. Then everything is fine and dandy. Anyone know how I go about fixing this?

It can be a port issue, if you have a router, you need to make sure the proper ports are open. The ports that should be open are;

 

UDP 27900

UDP 29900

TCP 80 - Client/Server Standard Port for GameSpy

TCP 29900

TCP 29901

TCP 29900 - Server Standard Port (29920)

UDP 27901 - Server Must be turned on in serversettings.con

UDP 27901 - Server Must be turned on in serversettings.con

UDP 27900

TCP 28910

TCP 4711

UDP 55123

UDP 55124

UDP 55125

UDP 1500-4999

UDP 16567

I've had this happen if something has been thrashing the ports... for example a bit torrent client.

I alot of people use a program called peerguardian to protect from bittorrent

 

I know for a fact peerguardian blocks xfire through certain ports, so if your running software that stops tracking such as peerguardian does... That may be the case so you have to disable it. :)

Thanks I will try this.
