hi all, whenever i play bf or bc2 for about 30 to 45 min the game loses connection.. i just installed bc2 and bf3 via origin. i updated with pbsetup so both bf3 & bc2 are uptodate. i've tried to disable nod32 SS5 and my 3th party firewall, although i allowed both bf3 and bc2 in the win firewall (which is of) and outpost firewall but the connection problem remains the same... it always worked with this exact setup only thing changed is i reinstalled win7... but the config is exactly like before. when i could play for hours... :)
i also checked the forwarding settings on my routers... and they are correctly assigned cuz of the static ip :)
note; other online games like gta iv lfd2 work flawless!

anyone know whazup here ?

Test the game plugged directly into the modem and not the router to rule that out first.

I had this happen long ago on bc2, it was my router overheating. I modded it by removing the cover and putting a fan blowing on the tiny heatsink. I never had issue again.

bf3 and bc2 are more stressfull on routers cause more players than l4d and gta.

So try to keep the router not cluttered around anything and see if it is indeed hot.

Isn't there Some kind of issue right Now with P/B kicking people Mid-Game? Or is that immediately?Thought I saw it on one of the BF3 forums. Something to do with a PunkBuster update.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654625350363890/

there were a few similar to this one when I was forum surfing the other day when origin went down, can't hurt to look into it , if you haven't.

Jboy, If he tried with it directly plugged into the modem then it cannot be the router over heating due to having the same problems on both sides. This looks to be either ISP or Windows related.
