Hi Guys,

help please.

have been playing for 30 months using the same hardware, one PC and two laptops. Up to a couple of months ago i breezed through the game with all graphics blazing and never a dc.

Could play for hours no problem.

So since just before christmas, late Nov early Dec I am getting Mapserver dc's on a regular basis, like every 10 mins or so. It has gotten so bad I cannot complete a mission and have abandoned teaming. I am playing almost exclusively TF's as at least I can get back in team on those.

My problem is clarifying whose kit is at fault. Mine ie my internet provider or my router or miodem (all the same kit) or the game stuff?

How can I try and pin it down. Any suggestions will help me as I am at my wits end and ready to abandon the game an action which will make me feel really sad

Please help, thanks.

Edit: clarify me being sad to leave the game

I think we need more information.

Is it a problem on all 3 computers?

If just a single one, then it could be an overheating problem. You could try and look inside and make sure the fans are clean and working properly.
If that seems to be the case try posting a CoH Helper and a HiJackThis report.

If it is all 3, then how are you connected to the internet?
Wired or wireless?
Are you the only one using the connection?
