Author Topic: Always takes 2 connect attempts (Read 403 times)

Any reason I always have to log in twice to get in the MA. Always get host connection lost after 1 second in and goes to desktop where I restart AH2 and it works fine. Noticed after the last patch but could have been the previous one.

Get same thing.
Just getting used to it I guess, I will up, get into where there are enme with smoke or explosions and locks up then ctd
Now I jump into trainig arena- blow a few things up
Up in ma - drop some eggs -watch wxplosion - boot - relog - and Im fine
I think it is a video - something loading problem, but it works after I relog with rarely a problem
So I'm living with it

I couldnt tell you. I have no idea whats causing it. I never had a problem till after 2.1 or 2.01 whatever. Got really bad with last update. Now takes me about 2-3 log in attempts to get in. I turned my firewall off just to make sure that wasnt the problem. It continues....

New patch happens more often now. Every time I log in takes about 5 attempts to be sucessful. I get one line of someone typing on chat then it says Host connection lost and the lost udp switching to ...

Once I connect I rarely get discod unless I am alt-tabbed doing something else. I haven't changed any settings except I dropped the xp firewall so it is not an issue. virus stuff is off. Like I said once connected it runs fine but takes several attempts. And when it takes a minute or two to load after 4 or 5 attempts I start getting frustrated with it.

I have cable...comcast..atlanta....a ll the speed tests I have done are in the exceptional range. up/dl

Should I run pingplotter?

no other programs are running when I am trying to connect. fyi

Mines been doing this recently also, seems right after patch 5. It now takes me 2-3 attempts to get connected? I live in the Cincinnati OH area however, and use a different internet provider (Adelphia)

Well its getting worse. I need the issue looked at because it's getting to the point I am considering canceling my account. I dont want to spend 30 mins trying to log in everytime. Nor can I alt-tab out anymore which I used to be able to do with no problem.
