Hi

Am having a connection problem.  When I am online, after about 3 minutes the text bar reads "UDP Session switch to TCP" then I get "Host Connection Lost" message.

CPU is only 5 months old.  Dell E521
Athlon 64 x 3800=,
2GB Ram
256MB nvidia Geforce 7300LE TurboCache

Everything runs fine offline.  ATT high speed DSL.

Need some help please.

go get "pingplotter" its a free program (google it) install it, then typ in the address for the main game severs. ( the address can be found in the "stiky" post at the top of the Technical support thread..

Run ping plotter for 5-10 mins pinging the servers every few seconds. You are looking for a nice steady ping, under 200ms. If you have something else, post a screen shot of the ping plot and maybe one of the gurus here can help you track down the problem.

If the computer is a dual-core AMD CPU, you might want to check this out. (http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=199451)

If it is a dual-core AMD CPU running Vista, then simply set the compatibility mode of the game to run in "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode.
