Legoless 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Hello, after some months I wanted to play a game of good ol' OFP again. However, trying to play multiplayer CTI, OFP has presented to me few troubles. I installed stock OFP from my GOTY retail box and updated it with version 1.96. System details: Intel Core 2 Extreme @ 2.93 GHz (stock) 4gb DDR2 memory (stock) 8800 GTX (stock) Windows Vista x64 Asus WL566GM Premium wireless router 10/10 DSL connection The problem is: After few minutes of playing a joined multiplayer game, I get yellow box and then red box until my connection times out. No solution was found yet. To solve this problem I already tried: - made sure Windows firewall is OFF - set affirnity to single CPU core (tried core 0 and 1) - forwarded ports 2302 (server port), 2235-2250 to gaming machine - tried on multiple servers My ping varies from 50 to 70, depends on distance to the server. Bandwidth is usually at 500 when the game started, it probably drops with desync later since I get redboxed. It's like packets would start to get lost somewhere. Any help would be greatly appretiated. Thank you, Legoless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warrior X™ 0 Posted November 11, 2008 I'd go with willybeef on this one. I had problems with my router and ofp connections as well. Although my router was not wireless, as soon as i removed it from in between the internet connection cable it went all smooth as cutting with a hot knife through butter. In other words, problem was solved. I had the same problems you describe Legoless, yellow boxes a lot of time and red's from time to time. Only way to stay connected on a red box, was run to the connection cable of the main IP's router and unplug/re-plug it fast enough to get my connection back again and stay connected. I seriously ran a marathon alltogether so far i think  Try if you can with a wired connection without a router in between if you can to see if that fixes the problem. I'm pretty sure it's the router. Lotsa dribble drabble bla blah router...  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
