Thread: Multiplayer make internet crash

    Unhappy Multiplayer make internet crash

    Hello, i just bought the game a few day ago on Steam and whenever i go in multiplayer, 1 minute later my internet crash (even skype and browser doesn't work). I tried to reinstall the whole game, the BattleEye too, patching the game, install manually the BattleEye, port forward and enable firewall, but nothing worked. My internet kept crash and coming back 2-3 minute later. I've tried playing on the original Arma 2 and everything's fine.

    Thank you for helping me.

    I got same problem over year ago. When ever I went playing Arma 2 in multiplayer my internet crashed. Somehow it just fixed itself in couple weeks. Only thing I can think which might cause that is Hamachi but I'm not sure did I even had that back then. I remember playing other games just fine.

    Sorry that I can't help you much.

    -Motherboard Asus p7p55-lx
    -CPU i5 760 @ 3.6ghz and Corsair H50 (cooling system)
    -Corsair 4GB ram (forgot which)
    -GPU Evga GTX 560 ti 1gb.

    6. If i'm quick enough i can enter a game and losing connection once i'm in, but in general i can't even go in a game, it say ''Connecting to server failed'' and i think it's even before i try to connect.

    At first i though it was maybe Hamachi so i deleted but the problem is still there.

    sorry its taken me so long, I cant see any real problems with your hardware, so it must be software based, I would say update your Battle Eye

    http://www.battleye.com/download.html

    Once done have a friend who can connect check your connection from inside to see what error message you are getting, are you just trying to connect to one server or have you tried several?

    Arma2 broadcasting/flood combination with some firewalls[including recent version of most-vendors-branded applianceies/routers/modems/STB's/PVR's/TV's]can lead to such issues.
    so you node/PC/appliance remain blocked for some time, after that.

    try block broadcasting by Arma2 in you OS firewall.
