    Unhappy Multilayer Troubles

    Hi,
    In Multilayer, my game randomly disappears.
    This has been happening for a while (6 months +).
    So im playing and then BAM - desktop, sometimes with the sound still running, and sometimes I see Arma2 running in the processes tab not applications.
    This doesn't happen strait away i need to be playing a bit, (1-2 hours).
    I can then open ArmA2 and go back to the server fine, and play for another 1-2 hours, I would be fine, but i play ArmA II everyday so its not.
    It does not happen in SP, I can play SP for like 10 hours with no problems.
    I Have perfect performance otherwise with good fps on high settings.
    If i lower my setting to worst possible it still happens.
    It happens with mods, and without.

    Manufacturer: PCspecialist
    Motherboard: ASUS PND-5
    Processor: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz (4 CPUs)
    Memory: 4GB Corsair Dominator 1066MHz
    Hard Drive: 500 GB
    Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+
    Monitor: 24 inch Edge 10
    Sound Card: ASUS Realtek HD Audio + X-Fi soundblaster
    Speakers/Headphones: Logitech Digital Precision
    Keyboard: Fujitsu Siemens standard
    Mouse: Microsoft Laser mouse 5000
    Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition

    I am a bit puzzled and I thought it could be to do with internet or connection or something like that but I don't know anything about that. I know;
    I have 100Mbps speed, ATM I am using a 'BT home hub' (wires come from the wall, to this hub thing, then to my pc, it lights up when internet is on.) But I have a unopened box here with a 'Linksys ADSL speedbooster gateway, that is meant to be good but i dont know how to set it up but i could get sum1 to if u think thats the problem.

    Thanks in advance anyone.
    I am going to copy up my rpt file when it happens again and see if there is anything in there.

    Well... you provide all kind of totally irrelevant information (keyboard, mouse, speaker, heck even the mousepad) - none of them are of any importance to solve your problem. Then you talk about ArmA and then about ArmA2 and on top of that you don't tell us anything about when you did the last driver update (if any). And then you say you check the arma2.rpt and actually never post anything about it.

    Instead you bump your thread. No wonder no one bothers to help you solving your problem if you can not even provide the information that is necessary to help. From listing your hardware including mousepad and case no one can tell anything.

    Get the last dozens of arma2.rpt entries and your dxdiag report.

    sorry wolle
    i just copied my specs from an older post, ive deleted the irrelevant bits, and i am just talking about arma2.

    i dont know what the 'relavant' information is, if i did then i could fix it, so i thought if i post everything i know then that would help including about my internet which i thought might be something as it only happens in MP.

    also i forgot about drivers, i havnt updated anything in a while, my drivers are set to the many 'optimization thread's for my g card and my sound card is updated fully but im not sure why that would affect it.

    i will try and get the reports and stuff when it happens again, last time i was playing warfare and was pretty annoyed so i forgot.

    There is nothing in the rpt, just about ace stuff and models, but when it does happen - ill go strait to it and look at the bottom.

    This is the event viewer:
    'Faulting application arma2.exe, version 1.5.0.62017, faulting module arma2.exe, version 1.5.0.62017, fault address 0x004d1561.'
    There is also
    'The Telephony service entered the stopped state.'
    and after this:
    'The Telephony service was successfully sent a start control.'

    dxdiag:

    Hi Grim,

    Sounds like it might be the graphics card overheating. The 9800GTX does run hot.

    Check the gcard temps while playing.
    This is quite good if you don't already have a program to use.

    If the temp of the CPU(s) or graphics card goes over 80c then you need better air circulation in your case.

    Make a note of temps when ARMA2 crashes and post back.

    Also delete the ARMA2.rpt file before you start to play then paste it here when it crashes.

    Good luck...

    I had this on my PC.

    Playing Warfare for about 4 hours and then CTD.

    I would get out of memory errors in rpt file and sometimes Windows error messages.

    The beta patch update seemed to cure it for me.

    Have you tried installing the beta patch?

    You are aware that the drivers for your 9800 are totally outdated?

    The latest version is 257.21, released just 2 days ago while yours is from 2009.

    For your X-Fi there might be more actual drivers too, not sure though as I'm no more running XP and there were newer ones for my Win 7.

    And yes, check temps as well and make sure you have the latest (beta) patch installed. Things are a lot better with them now.

    Ok, i have not been able to do anything yet,
    i started to monitor temps, and play warfare, but now my 'hub' thing has decided every time someone rings the house phone, to switch off, meaning no internet.
    I kept trying and rejoining the server, i got to 64 CPU, and around 50 on Cores after 3-4 hours, but im not sure this is accurate due to rejoining constantly.
    I then kept playing and brought a su-34, then RING RING, internet goes down, so i punched the thing and its completely broke.
    So i decided to set up the expensive router.
    I did it
    but now when i join a mp game i get stuck on receiving.
    from searching i found out that i need to forward ports.
    You need to forward ports 2302, 2303, 2305 and 2307 both TCP and UDP.
    This router allows you to do this (unlike other piece of sh*t)
    but i don't know what goes in what box:
    http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...ist1/help4.gif
    BTW, i don't have a firewall or any security systems
    so can sum1 tell me what goes where plz?
    or am i completely wrong and ports have nothing to do with anything?

    Then i will try to monitor temps,
    upgrade drivers,
    update to beta.

    Thanks for the help guys.
