Same here, i've never had a problem till about noon today now i cant get through a single mission without getting "Disconnected from Server" message. ran the force verify, that came up with nothing. ran the trace route, that looked excellent. Ran the nettest.exe and that may be an issue but i cant find anything in here as to what i need to do to fix it. Something is wrong with the Ticket process, i cannot open a ticket to save my life. Sigh.
I can't play an episode to completion without getting disconnected at least 5-10 times. While I was experiencing some disconnects before season 1, it's gotten so much worse since then with other problems.
I've been having issues with the loader. After exiting the game the loader reopens by itself for appx 15-30 seconds. The icon stays in my taskbar(on the right) even after closing the game, if i run the mouse over the icon it vanishes. There was text in the area above the account name entry box, now its just blank.
the ingame lag is awful. The missions start off okay, then I notice the groginess, which sometimes dissipates. the cursor starts leading it's doppleganger. Then either I get so frustrated I disconnect, or the computer does it for me. I just wanna play so bad. I don't even know where to begin looking for solutions. I don't know if it's my computer's fault or the games. I'm sure I'll probably catch the blame, which may indeed be suiting.
Im to having this supid lag and connection problems and is getting on my nerves logging on to this web site was a bit slow to i tested my broadband and got 5 and half meg download so thats ok and did a ping test thats ok so must be them i gess as im not the only one :mad:
ping tests are unrelliable for testing in game network lag as must ping traffic is not affected by the same network problems as actual packets on game ports ( as ping is a different type of traffic)
That is why there is a nettest that checks across a sample of ports.
I use a linksys WRT54GS router and i dont have the slightest clue how to copy and paste my nettest, its in dos and i forgot all my dos commands when i upgraded from my TI 64 computer at age 15. (with the cool speech synthisizer Yeah baby)

Someone help me:) please?
Im having the EXACT same problem as mentioned above, it started after the last update. The game is now unplayable. Any ideas?
Before the patch everthing was fine. I could play a 2 hour session no worries. Now, I'm getting server response issues during missions, and tonight it did it 3-4 times in a row whilst in mission. Got to a point that I thought, "f*ck this" and logged off.
FYI, submitting a support ticket, doesn't work, regardless of the browser, and I use 3 biggest ones out there. Sort it out.
Additional, isn't the connection. O2 ADSL2+ 16mbps. Isn't the router, brandnew top end Netgear (DGND3300v2) connected to it via ethernet.
Isn't the computer, dual Quad Core Extreme Skulltrail, 280GTX, 8GB, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Im working on my fifth year doing top tier software/hardware support in an open source enviroment. I would also like to save the tech guys some time by saying it most certainly is not on my end. I would have fixed it by now if the problem was within reach.

not very good at windows either since all youhave to do is right click on select mark and highling and hit enter to copy.
using win7 you right click on name bar border select edit then mark then highlight the text and hit enter
It is calll proviide proof and information people can work with than idle complaints with out facts.
there are lots ar in game without problem so if it was just cryptic they would also have problems.
Since OB i have not had any disconnects except for the last weekend that was fixed on monday.
(loading map problem) as have others.
Also there have been past problems with 2 wire modems that (and linksys was one of them) that coulld not handle the small packets stream used in the game with out an update on the modem.
A fool only say it is not my problem, a wise man say I don't know and investages everything to eliminated all possibilities.
and since this is a peer to peer forum and people here are not at your PC they can only go with the information your provide or not provide because of laziness.
well, I got to play for about 15 minutes that time...still couldnt finish the mission though. I've got a D-link DGL4500 coming tomorrow, hoping that will solve my problem.................meh.

PegasusMD, multiple people are having the same issues... i don't think we need to nettest.

(loading map problem) as have others.

ok on the nettest column 1 and 3 are outbound and inbound traffic, column 2 is transfer rate
normal values are 300-500 for columns 1 and 3 and around 20 for column 2.
question are you using a non english version of windows?

Ping 350ms to 4000ms then disconnects
Frequent lag spikes (approx 5sec apart)
/netgraph showing pings at 400ms then to 1500 (or more) then back to 350/400ms
No issues with other online games.
