connectivity crash with first 10 seconds of game starting

Postby Magic » 09 Aug 2012, 23:22

hi all,

well as the subject says i lose connectivity to everyone in game within first 10 seconds of launch. This only happens if im playing with 3 people or more, as i can play a 1 vs 1 or 2 vs any number of AI. While im in the lobby my connection is fine and i have no problem joining games. i was playing fine all last week and i came to play on monday and this happend and has been happening since. The only thing that has changed from last week is the FAF updates ( im not saying this is the problem but that its the only thing thats changed or altered). There isnt really any more information that i can give really other than ive done speed tests and ping test and all seems fine.

Id post replays but they show nothing only 10 seconds or so and it just shows everyone starting to build then says reply over.

Game log link, http://pastebin.com/jmbT4pxK

Forever log link, http://pastebin.com/Y5Kr5xWx

if anyone needs any more information just ask.

Many thanks in advance

as far as i can see it's a FA problem, however i cannot imagine how this is related to the last patch i think cause of this line

warning: Error running sim lua callback function 'AddTarget':

wich is very similar to this line

Error running sim lua callback function 'ResizeShield':


reinstalling should fix the problem (reinstalling FA)

greetings Sheppard

If your connection crash after 10 seconds, look on your router/firewall.

you sure?
for my uneducated eye this looks verymuch like an error with the game but not with the connection

however in oder the find the reason of the issue:

check your connection during playing games (are you able to open websites)
try UPnP (why not) [Options, Gameport, UPnP]
try through another Router (maybe your neighbour's or friend's one)
if you use wireless-lan try to use a wireconnection


try also to think back if anything changed on you PC, homenetwork or something else that could be related to the problem

Im with shep as i cant see it being a firewall as im not running one or my router as i can play fine with one friend and ai but as soon as i play with 2 friends it crashes and its not always the same time now as i tried the other night and it crashed after 2mins. Ive installed the game and faf now about 5 times and still no change lol. The only thing that has happened from the last time i could play the game was the faf update, nothing has changed. i have tired running with UPnP and still the same, ive tried openning all router ports and resetting my router and nothing, ive tried using my other hd which i was using about 2weeks ago and that is doing the same now. i can run all my other games online with no problem but sup com and its really frustrating now as ive really got into it lol. also im wired straight into my router.

all suggestions are welcome and at this point ill try anything lol

many thanks
