It means your connection sucks...and in my case you will be soon looking at the desktop.

The switch from UDP to TCP is due to packet loss on the Internet connection.  This can happen for many reasons and in many places along the way to your computer or from your comptuer.

The most likely issue is some router is struggling on the Internet to keep up with its load.  Easy way to tell is to run Ping Plotter to 206.16.60.38, immedaitely, after losing your connection to the game server or after the switch.

If no packet loss is present, then it could be a local computer issue where your computer is running out resources and simply cannot keep up with all the game's requests.

Other issues will show when it is a resource issue.  Like stutters in the graphics, pauses, skipped sounds, and possibly others.  See the "Hint and Tips" post at the top of this forum for more information about this.

shortly after that happens my screen goes white with just a little pop-up asking if I want to tell Microsoft about you.  Some day I need to hunt that setting down and kill it.

With 512M of video ram and 1.5G of DDR 400 I have a hard time believing I ran out of something.  Must be that big-arsed virus that's always running in the background.

If you want to kill that service.  It is the spawn of the "Windows Error Reporting" service.

And I am just giving out possibilites.  Although, the game could max your resources out Puck.

You run with anti-aliasing enabled?  And with the hires texture pack at 1024 texture size?  Do you preload anything?

At the moment 1024; if I run 512 skins don't look right off-line.  Discovered that quickly.

I pre-load everything it will let me preload.  According to the green text at the top of the screen nothing is close to the limit.  This doesn't happen very often...maybe once or twice a month.
