Anyone else losing connection to Relic online loads since the expansion pack?

I have dropped connection twice in the passed three days and have a massive amount of trouble connecting to games. So many time I get the 'Could not connect to all players'. It can't be my ports can it? I mean surely if I can get a game online at all - which I do, then the correct ports should be open.

What gives?
 
I cant even finish an online game before the whole "Player is lagging" message comes up and the game freezes.

Me and a mate are playing then we're just sat there talking to each other on gamespeak as the game is frozen. Happens in almost every game!!!
 
I haven't had this problem, but compared to vCOH I'm getting terrible framerate with OF. More than a few tommies running about and it really jerks along.
 
well I tried joining about 20 games tonight before just decided to automatch - got a game that way. However I don't like doing that as I don't get to pick and choose.

Gonna check my ports and stuff tomorrow. there is a load of people out there with the same problems with various solutions being banded around. Gonna have a lookn at them and see what I can do.

Pain in the arse though. No wonder people gravitate towards consoles. Just having a quick look at some of the solutions out there. OMG - looks like you got to be an IT specialist nowadays! :eek:
 
Current random issues I'm having are:


  • The "Invite to game" feature works sometimes but not all the time


  • The games seem to stop half way through most of the time with the "Lag Grace" problem. Everyone on my side of the team can talk to each other but the whole other team has gone. Seems to be server side hopefully so will be fixed


  • You cant always find hosted games! Sometimes you can find your friends game and other times its just not there until they re-host.
 
I've had these probs too - plus my sound goes a bit weird too. Also I notmally only get about 10 mins of game and then the screen goes black and freezes. Also started getting the dreaded nvlddmkm error!!
VCOH ran impeccably on my system. There is another patch due out very very soon though which should cure some of these issues. Fingers crossed
 
I had to uninstall the the patch and reinstall the game due to some new copy protection thing that did not recognize the disc "media not recognized". This is the first time I have ever had this sort of problem, even securom runs with no problem.
 
I find it weird why they brought in copy protection for Opposing Fronts.

There was none in the original and it worked perfectly after a few patches and sold well so why include anti-piracy stuff which keeps messing up?

Having to sign in even to play single player skirmish is incredibly annoying. The other day my internet went down so I thought I'd just play offline but of course couldnt get the game to load!! :(
 
Yer my connection keeps dropping to the Relic server without me knowing. Again since the new patch has been bought into play. Also ive been having problems connecting to online servers.
 
Strewth what a mess! I've had COH for a while now and no probs at all, ran great and looked good too. "Opposing fronts" however gives me freezing, crashes, naff performance, and now I can't even get into the game, the main menu screen appears to be totally unresponsive and I have to alt-tab to get back to desktop. I'm gonna have to reinstal the the game, not patch it and see how it runs.
What the heck have relic done to this game!
 
They should have left the game interface etc how it was, i thought the origional menus were so much easier to navigate. Also they should have left the DX10 bolt on off, the performance decrease doesn't suffice, besides you have to zoom totally in to see the 3D grass and a few extra pebbles just doesn't do it for me.

I love the game off the original unpatched install, but the OF upgrade / patch just turns it into an unorganized mess.
