Connection Interrupted

[Sgt Meatwad]

Hello,

 

Just got back to playing ET after about 11 years off. Keep getting connection interrupted errors multiple times per match.

 

Relatively newer PC on a hardwired ethernet connection. Running Windows 8. 2,4GHZ Celeron Processor.

 

My old machine from over a decade ago ran just fine, so I'm not sure what might be causing this. Any help appreciated!

I am getting the exact same thing. Installed after years away and now about 3-5 minutes into a game I get connection interrupted and I have to disconnect and connect again. Please help???

what are your net settings ingame?

 

do these for starters if you havent:

 

/rate 50.000 (34.000 and upwards i suggest,maybe your setting is 5.000 by default so this could be the culprit)

/cl_maxpackets 100

as its almost impossible to guess a solution to your problem..

 

fa has several. topics on this already.

And they're damn near impossible to understand for a layman. I'm a blacksmith, not an IT guy lol

Treat me like a child that's only good at multikills. Where do I enter these? In the "`" config screen that drops down?

Start game then press ~ That key then type

 

/cl_maxpackets 100 then hit enter

 

then do

 

/rate 34000 and hit enter

 

Also if that doesn't help right click et icon go to properties then compatibility and try win 8 or even xp.

 

Hope that helps

Do you know whether your PC has AMD, Intel or Nvidia graphics? 

 

If you've got an AMD chipset, you'll need to open the console (~) and type

"set r_primitives 2" followed by "/vidrestart"

Tried all of those suggestions and still get about 3-5 minutes into a game and connection interrupted. So frustrating.

Is your router port forwarded for ET?

 

Clean ETMain of PK3's from maps only if its more than 30 odd maps in there. There is a PK3 cleaner in the downloads section.

 

try /com_ignorecrash 1 and cl_packetdup 1

 

Do you set your memory in the target file path as per the playing ET guide?

 

Also make sure you are running the game as administrator.

 

Also if windows 10 task master details tab. right click et.exe and change affinity to just 1 core.

 

If that doesnt fix it call your ISP 😛

Second everything about the cvars from maky and cum and these quoted suggestions. Portforward for best performance. Details here https://portforward.com/wolfenstein-enemy-territory/

 

I also recently used this overly simplistic video and TCP optimizer and it actually improved my already solid speeds so try that too. If anyone has a better guide and TCP Optimizer settings let me know!

What FA servers are you two connecting to?
