Sorry if this is OT to any group, but i'm pulling my hair out!
The one and only game I play has decided to stop working.
It's called "Battlefield 2".
When i try to login to the account server at the start of the game, it
'pauses' for what seems like an age, and then I get the message "the
server has refused the connection".
I have uninstalled and re-installed the game, Googled, patched the game
and anything else ending in 'ed' but to no avail.
I have also removed the software firewall off my PC to see if that is
the problem. It didn't resolve it.
One thing that has prompted me to post, is the the fact that the Gamespy
site, who I believe are 'in bed' with Electronic Arts, is also very,
very slow, and in some cases times out. I believe Gamespy may have
something to do with the servers to which my games is connecting? I've
only gauged that through historic postings found on Google. It may be
incorrect.
This has got me thinking maybe there is a DNS or routing issue going on?
Do AAISP (my Internet provider) have problems connecting me to the
servers I'm trying to use maybe?
Both the site, and my game, always worked, and worked well, but on
Sunday, it all stopped. I changed nothing, installed nothing. I was
playing the game, stopped for a cup of coffee, re-loaded the game, and
BAM! No connection.
Everything else relating to the Internet or my network seems fine.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please? I can't find any
"server status" pages for Electronic Arts or Gamespy, but in all
honesty, I know not where to look. Neither can I find any support forums
for the game....
Help!
