Title: I keep losing connection.
Post by: Ragdoll on February 04, 2011, 05:48:41 pm: Hi,

So I fixed patch 7 yesterday, and immediately installed IV:MP and logged onto Argonath. I tried using a nickname, but I lost connection before registering, so I had to use another nickname (The first was "already in use"). So I registered with the second and played for about 20 minutes, then I alt+tab'ed to see something.. I came back to see that I lost the connection. So I q'ed and tried again.. got the same error : already in use. I waited till the server restarted, and I logged in again and played.

Today, I logged in and played for less than 15 minutes, and lost the connection.. and now everytime I try to login, I see the message "Connected Successfully" then 5 seconds later "Lost Connection to the server".

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: It happened again.

I fixed the problem in the past by turning off the firewall but it doesn't solve the problem in the current time.

your character ingame - and you're unable to connect as you are "already there". Only fix for this is a server restart at this point.
