Causing Network troubles before starting the battle

[AustrianGeneral]

Hey guys. I have been playing med2 online for several years and hardly had problems. But since some weeks i cause in almost every game which i join network problems after the loading bars ingame (of the players) are filled. This leads to the crash of the whole game. -.-

I don't know what to do. Im quite sure that i did disable the firewall of my router and also every other firewall on my computer. I even did reinstall the OS altough i knew that this won't help probably.

Anyone there who was a idea ?

maybe anti-virus firewall (besides your windows firewall) ?


or you're downloading stuff

I have AntiVir, Spybot and IOBIT Secrurity permantly running. Could anyone of these be the problem ?

Downloading stuff ? Do you mean it could be that my connection is just too slow ? Could be that the reason why it's possible to play sometimes smaller games. If yes im confused because the download rate of my new internet is 200 % higher and i didn't had this problem very often on my old internet.

This sounds like a synchronization problem. Are you saying that when you join the game the whole game crashes for the other players too?

Also I see you have gotten new internet. What did you have before and what are you using now? It could be some of your TCP-IP settings are off for this new link....

I join a server. All is alright. Every people made his army and the game starts. All is alright. Then on the battlefield the loading bars get filled. But after finishing loading nothing happens. And after some more time the game says that i cause network troubles. And the other peoples get the message too that i cause troubles. The game crashed.

With new internet i just meant a new provider. I had the internet provider mywave before i changed to the provider aon.

What do you mean with the TCP-Ip thing and how can i fix it ?

What kind of connection do you have? Dialup? Dsl? Cable?

To be honest, I don't have time for multiplayer but anyone that does, be my guest.
My first modem was a 14.4 and you look at the stats most of time it was closer to 9. I have dsl now and I get the same download times, the same amount of dropped connections, whether I pay $20 or $30 just because I am so far from the phone comapy's office. Having three cb'ers in the neighborhood doesn't help. Even though it's same phone line, the two providers' server may not be equal. Even though they won't admit it , it maybe your provider isn't up to speed.
