"disconnected from server"

[[JiF]Squeaky McSqueakums]

Hello all, i was playing on the Bf1942 public pot luck server, and it was wonderfully lag-free, however, randomly, i would be disconected from the server, it happened 3 times over a period of about 5 hours on the server. what leads me to believe that it might not be a problem on my end is that each time there seemed to be fewer people on the server when i reconnected. anyway, its not much of a problem. i just thought that i should report it in case others are experiencing the same issue.

Hey Squeaky. Yeah it tends to happen although 3 times in 5 hours is a little more than usual (I haven't played in a bit so maybe it's getting worse). It appears that the server either crashes or hangs so long that most of the users end up getting logged off.

We think it's related to certain maps with bots but every time we think we have it pegged and remove a map from rotation it finds a new map. Most of the time that server isn't getting looked at/monitored so it's tough to troubleshoot but we can try to get the sysops to look at it if it's gotten worse. I'm sure I'll be back on sometime this week.

It's been awhile since the server disconnected everyone during gameplay.
I just wanted to report that it happened again last night on ESSEN map.
About 5 minutes into the game it disconnected.

I been playing almost exclusively on the Jif server.
This is the first time it's happened in awhile.

It happened a few days ago to me as well, and I could not establish a server connection for about 5 mins afterwards.

Sometimes when you get disconnected the 'system' thinks your CD key is still in use. In that case you should get a 'CD in Use' message. Between game/map bugs, server bugs, PB check getting upset and programs running in the background disconnects can be a puzzle. I rolled into a flag (playing FH) the other day when my game minimized. Norton wanted to know if I wanted to renew my subscription. Got back into the game to find that my tank susploded.

I'm not trying to complain, just help with info. JIF is the best server available for certain! What I experience is that everyone gets booted mid-game and we start the map back and everyone rejoins. The last time that happened, a few days back, the message I got was 'unable to connect to server' for about 3-5 minutes I do IT for a living, I'm no genius, but the problems that I experienced didn't appear to be from background apps (plus I'm a clean boot freak I shut everything down before I play too!) It may have been some sort of network hiccup anywhere along the pipe, and then the cd thing may have happened too. But for what it's worth, that's what seems to happen. Usually I get right back in, but the last time I got the error.

The PC the server runs on is way over do for a complete reload. Unfortunately I have not had the time or ambition to do it.
Some day for sure. Probably the next time the drive dies

On a some what related note. We will be changing our ISP shortly. I dunno if its gonna help or not.
