Description

After battling for many hours of being disconnected every 10 minutes with the message 'no message received...' i go to log back in after yet another one of these useless disconnects to find not only is the 'stable' branch so unstable that i get dc'd from every server on the planet every ten minutes, that now the game has decided i should be underneath the rocks, not on them where i last got an unwanted disconnection....

so I'm trapped inside a rock, in a quarry.... i would just let myself starve out, but i cant stay in a game long enough for that to happen .... even when i remove all firewalls and other such things so that i have a direct, unfiltered connection to the internet .... how is this game so bad at networking after all this time that you can't stay connected for more than 10 minutes before the server stops communicating with the client?

im trying to kill myself by running around and around in circles, with any luck i wont need unsticking by the time someone looks at this ... with any luck.

i managed to kill myself thru starvation ....

no help needed now....

thou im still getting dc'd every ten minutes due to 'no message recieved'

never had this problem in the mod unless the server went down ... server is staying up and its happening to me alllll the time :(

any idea on how to fix the constant disconnecting ? happens every 10 minutes or so, never happens to my mates who are on same server .... ive tried putting my pc into the DMZ on my router so it wasnt behind any firewall ... have reinstalled battle eye ....

verified integrity of game files ....

yet no matter what server after around 10 mins im losing connection .... even thou my net hasnt lost connection and the server hasnt rebooted...

Hello,

Unfortunately, the connection issues is something that we cannot fix on our end. Please refer to the network troubleshooting guide below:
NAT Types:

  • Open
  • Moderate
  • Strict

Open NATs can connect to any of the three types. --> Probably the least common type
Moderate can only connect to open and moderate. --> Probably the most common type
Strict can ONLY connect to open.
Strict NATs are a difficult problem with peer-to-peer games. Since most people don't have open NATs, the player with a strict NAT won't be able to find many joinable games.

Also, if the player with a strict NAT does manage to join a game, if another player with a moderate NAT joins later, the player with the strict NAT gets kicked out.

Another problem is that sometimes the ISP (Internet Service Provider) is also behind a NAT, which often means even if you have a direct connection to the internet (without a router/firewall), the ISP still acts as a strict NAT.

Port Forwarding:
The following Ports need to be open on your router to connect to the online servers:
TCP 80, UDP 88, UDP 2302, UDP 2314, UDP 2326, 2338

If you need assistance with opening these ports, please refer to the following website for more information (you will need to know your router brand and model, as the website guides are based on specific routers)
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Direct Connection:
If you are still having issues with getting disconnected from the online servers after trying the above steps, try connecting your broadband modem directly to the console or PC you are playing the game on. This can help determine if the issue is related directly to the router or another source.
