Game mode: [Enter game mode here: (Online public)] Type of issue: [Enter one of the following: Bug (?)] Server type: [Enter one of the following: PvP ] Region: [North America]
Since first installing the game, I have only been able to play it four times, yet have made 20+ attempts to play with friends in two different servers.
At this point, I have tried the following:
Deleting folders matching the game’s ID (440900) from my system and reinstalling and file checking the game.
Verifying files, repeatedly.
Unsubscribing from all the mods used in the servers I play in, repeatedly, and resubscribing to them.
Pinging the servers I play in to ensure no errors (and there haven’t been any).
Uninstalling and reinstalling BattlEye, just to see if that changes anything connection-wise.
Flushing my DNS cache, as per a possible fix found in another player’s thread on the forums. This seemed to fix the matter, but only for a handful of minutes at most, each time I do it.
Changing my ping on Steam from 5000 to 500. This has worked exactly once so far, three hours ago.
I have also checked the game’s requirements, and my computer’s hardware surpasses them (listing them below).
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 8-core
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB)
DirectX: Current (Unsure which version the latest is, off the top of my head)
Network: Ethernet (Unsure if broadband or whatever off the top of my head)
Storage: Plenty (game is currently installed already)
Any other help would be appreciated in resolving this issue.
Welcome to our community.
We’ve gotten a similar report like this one recently. Just to make sure, and you’ve probably tried it already: can you connect to the server via the Steam friends list or via Direct Connect?
I think you checked also all anti-spy, anti-vire sorftware, firewalls and such ? Some may overdue and block.
Then maybe i would try to install the game/steam on a different directory to see. I know, all time consuming, and may not bring much…
Then also some internet provider may block in some part depending where you live. Hard to tell.
I see you did all the usual stuff without that.
Check with your ISP to make sure the ports aren’t blocked.
I moderate for another game, and just had a person over there using Vodaphone having a similar issue. Turns out they pushed an update to his modem that broke the ability to connect. Refreshing the modem with a new update resolved the issue.
Ignasis - I may have tried those already, and forgotten that I did so. #lousymemoryproblems, lol
Vattende - I have checked to make sure that there is an exception for the game in my antivirus software (there is), I also tried turning my firewall off and back on (just once) to see if that affected anything. I would agree that this would be a problem, but I was able to connect with no problems to the servers 2-3 times -before- the issues started popping up.
SylenThunder - Similar to my answer to Vattende, if the ports were blocked I don’t think I’d have been able to join in the first place? But will double-check regardless.
