Title: "Host Connection Lost" error in every server
Post by: phate27 on August 30, 2009, 06:34:33 PM

I downloaded the game and bought a subscription. The game worked once and after that it keeps on giving me the "Host Connection Lost" error on every server and quits.

PS: I tried turning off my firewall but that didn't work

Have you changed anything or noticed any changes since that first time? This only happens when something stops receiving. If using a wireless connection, make sure that your wireless router is saved as the default, so your comp doesn't switch to maybe a neighbors signal (has happened to me before).

If you are able to get logged in, but cannot get connected to any of the arenas, I would suggest grabbing Ping Plotter (http://www.pingplotter.com) and running a trace to 206.16.60.38 to see if there is an Internet related issue.

If you cannot get passed the login, but can get to our WEB page, then it would normally be a firewall causing the problem.

I can make it past the login but the scanner thing didn't show any problems.

That suggests your computer is timing out on the connection.  If there is no packet loss on the connection, then it is taking your computer to long to establish the connection.

Try this.  Go into "Offline Practice", then from the clipboard, uncheck "Options->Graphic Detail->Advanced->Detailed Terrain".  If it is already unchecked, then I need to see the DXDIAG (Start->Run->DXDIAG) output.

Do you ever get into the tower of any of the arenas?  If so, for how long?

I have a problem similar to this, but it only happens in the dueling arena.  I can get into the arena but when im in the tower none of the buttons on the clipboard work. i cant get into the hangar or launch with the plane i have selected.  i can click the buttons but nothing happens.
