Is Anyone one playing 2 copies of BF3 from a Virgin Super HUB ?

Mr. May · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:16

I have two PC's bothe I7 920's one with 480 and the one in sig.....

I had this same problem in the beta but hoped it would be fixed for release

The Problem is when i have both machines running two separte copies of BF3 and i try to log into the same server over the same router. It either kicks one of us out or one of us will be waiting for it to connect with no avail........

Which i find strange as we can both be on diffrent servers and it runs fine ...

Both have played CO-OP Fine

BFBC2 runs fine like this

So what is the limitation here ??

I know this is another BF3 but this is a problem i would liek to solve before tomorrow night or wednesday at the latest so me and my mate can start teaming up and uase some proper tatics.

So PLEASE people no trolls i need some help here and guidence from people how are running the same as me ..... and no idea will be turned away as iam useless with network stuff

Cheers in advance

Unfortunately not though in BF2BC I used to get an issue that would happen.. if I joined a server and my mate in the same house followed me in.. I'd be kicked, was always the first person on to be kicked. Happened nearly every single time aswell.. also started happening to my brother but I think it may have been a friends list issue tbh.

I think my gf is actually thinking about playing bf3 so I'll steal my brothers account and give it a try maybe tomorrow if someone else hasnt replied

Id be interested in this as well, got 2 i7 rigs and want to install the game on the second one. Im using a netgear dg834pn 108 mbps wireless router with bt for isp.

I had the same problem with my flatmate.

I turned off UPNP in the superhub and it hasn't done it since.

I used to get this sometimes with BC2, but it was so random.

One day it would kick us out all the time, another it would be fine.

Not had it with BF3 so far but as mentioned turning off UPnP may do the trick

Same principle for bf3 but as others have mentioned the issue is with a setting on your router, using a Netgear router here with an old VM modem and its fine.

Really useful info there, that's got to work for the OP

I will try this myself if I ever have this problem in the future,

Good to hear youve sorted it, hopefully this works with my netgear router as well.
