Connections errors in Online Play

Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:02 am

Has anyone been having connection errors in online play? I've been seeming to have them alot lately. I can't remember anything new I've done to the game lately. I installed the new roster patch last week. I tried uninstalling the game twice. I've disabled customart already and updated my video drivers. I dont have any problems with any other game online.
Hell I even removed my NIC card and started using my onboard Lan.
Most of the errors happen after a shot or sometimes while the game is communicating with the servers after a game. The game will just crash to the desktop or back to the lobby

Anyone else havng problems out there?

Asus P4s8x
Pentium 4 2.4a processor
pc 2700 memory
Leadtek GeForce Fx 5950 Ultra
52.16 drivers

Connection errors are terrible, for now get used to it. It could be a number of things, everybody is in the same boat. Personaly i think its something to do with camera angle settings(ingame). Dont waste your time messing with any security settings or any cookie handling or asking EA. Just hope that when they release the official patch that they sort it.
ps- What control pad do u use online?

Im using a Gravis Eliminator Rumble gampad right now. I have the Eliminator Aftershock also. There pretty much exactly the same stick except the new one is black. I had to get a new pad cause I was having problems with my pad which is usb cutting itself off and on during games.

Online players now have ability to cause connection errors if they are losing a game and dont want it to count against them. They dont get the loss, and you dont get the win...It really takes the fun out of the game, so many people do it now. How are they doing this?

Thats just ppl talking shit, 90% of the time its a real connection error, however it is possible to do it at will. I know how but im not telling you, and if u find out i suggest that u also do not tell anybody. The more ppl that know the more ppl will do it. 2003 was miles better online, i hate the fact that we cant rematch, this is the worst thing about 04!

You have it backwards, 10% of the time its a real error. If someone knows how to do it, and many ppl do, They will use it all the time if they are getting beat. It makes the game dumb and a waste of time, EA needs to do something about it, soon everyone will know, and I will quit playing.
