Even though your numbers are incorrect and we do have a lot of unaffected players it doesn't mean we are taking the connection issues any less seriously and we are still investigating.

Considering the game is now out in America, Europe and it seems Uk users have been online since at least tuesday and many are receiving copies today in the post, it would seem that more can't connect than can connect. 26k players online for a game that had a ton of hype and is available almost globally at the minute is a pretty small number.

i had both those errors today. pb kick and instant kick with no message.
then i joined a server which changed maps while i was loading, so i had to load a map twice in a row. Been working since. Not sure if its actually related or did i just find a few working servers.

Server info had "PB ON" atleast.

I dont think its the R4 fix either, or whatever it is. because many "R4 servers" did not work at any point.

Someone oughta try joining a game when their friend sees a round is about to end and see if loading a map twice actually does anything

Result: I still get disconnected from servers after a few minutes of online play just like what I've experience since BETA.
What router do you use?

We aren't in peak times for players in Europe and USA at this time though. Europeans will be coming online in more numbers now as people get home from work etc and start playing.

Hi,Bazajaytee

I got some doubts about buying battlefield bad company 2 for pc or the ps3 one, thats the reason:

I remember it was possible in battlefield 2 to type a command on the console so it allow you to record
the game while you was playing and then you actually could view and edit on it, so is it
possible now in both or any of them?

Best Regards.

PSG-1.

Possibly, though the more likely scenario would be that a few get connected and the rest put up with randomly generated error messages for the rest of tonight.

A tad ironic that the beta worked better than the retail version.

It's strange. I get the Lost Connection to Server intermittently.

I have been able to play, so luckier than some.

Would network traces help troubleshoot this?

I have also been able to play online fine for two days (tuesday & wednesday), only had one disconnect in about 9 hours, and apart from that everything was running like it should.

But today, I always get the "Connection to server lost" error when trying to join a server, so I dont see how this can be a problem originating at my end...

I also updated to PB Client v2.158 / A1382, if that matters.

I sure hope this issue is fixed until this weekend! I sincerely hope EA & DICE understand us countless people who has bought the game hoping to play just to get kicked every time we join a game... Seriously, I am so disappointed right now!

Those few R4 servers that exist are either full or I can't connect to them at all. The most annoying part of this farce is that the BETA worked like a charm for me.

As we would say in Sweden "Gör om! Gör rätt!" Right Baza!?

I'm really looking forward to the fix thou. I'm dying to play! ^^

I got kicked before from the servers. Then I deleted the Bf2 Beta from the comp and in My docus. Now when I try "Play now" it says "Could not find any games, try again later". And when I try to play threw Server Browser it says I lost the connection to the server.

Now I cant play at all

So thanks a lot for having us buy the lalalalatiest console port ever.

ah give the man a break. Don't listen to em Bazajaytee, i understood what you were saying, you'all are doing everything you can...

We know most of the connection issues arent client end and we have people at EA and DICE on finding the cause and creating a solution to the problem.

in 7 hours all remaining STEAM users (vast majority EU players) will find a unplayable game

DICE, if there's no fix for the game until them, prepare your lalalalala for some major hurt

i live in nyc
i use linksys wrt54g router
i used it corded not wireless...

its the same router i used with 2142 bf2 and now bc2
no game has ever given me an issue about it

this game just kicked me 5 times in a row from the same server i was playing on last night for 4 hours without a hitch..

the problem is on your end not ours unfortunately.

all the past games worked fine and all of this sudden this issue now pops up after it was working...
its not the router dice..


its your codeing and building so many games at one time is why you missed something...

Even the BETA didn't put the servers under this much load. Unfortunately this is one of those issues you don't see until it happens and it only happens with sheer numbers of players.
