It keeps giving me warnings and then kicks me off..more then once.

I give up for tonight. See you tomorrow.

Connection warnings?

If so, welcome to my world. :p

I got many, many freezes/connection warnings last night while playing Basra, but I didn't get dropped...just shot when I couldn't move. I did get disconnected several times from Bocage. This is the same problem I had this time last year when my ISP oversold the circuit I'm on. It took months to get it fixed, and I don't know they can do any more to improve things this time around.

I also need to test connecting to some other servers and see if I have it with them too. I've been playing almost exclusively on the Gaming Asylum server, and the problem seems more frequent, but it is probably my ISP that's messing up. Still, there do seem to be more people complaining since the 1.45 patch came out. Maybe they "tweaked" the netcode. I'd think it would affect more people if that's the case though.

Are you on DSL or cable modem or two cans and a string (dial-up)?

Cox Cable and have been for a long time.

I seldom get warnings and usually have a good connection.
I did wonder since they say we are all connected, if the Florida weather is some how involved. Satellite wise.

I've been disconnected from the GA server 4 times in the last hour. I've done some other testing and it doesn't appear to be my connection.

I haven't been able to rule out it being something wrong with Battlefield itself or DC, or it being particular to that server. I think I'm going to reinstall BF and see if I can get it to work without the 1.45 patch...someone else posted here someplace that they had and it stopped their connection problems. Not sure I believe it, but I'll give it a try. This is sooooo frustrating.

Welcome to my world! :rolleyes: Let me know if that resolves your problem.
