Jay: Bork! Bork! Bork!; +2,006|5575|London, England

Anyone else having this problem? I got into one server today for a few hours after having problems last night and this morning connecting. Now I can't get into any servers again. Really pissing me off.

at least with that piece of shit that is IWnet, you could play on release.

DICE have asked server providers not to put any more servers online until they've resolved the issues.

[...]

backend needs to be upgraded + the client protocol needs to be adjusted a bit so the way they grab the server list changes

dunno if it helps, but i uninstalled the bc2 demo of course. I also do not check any "server filter options" and can usually get into a game. i usually use the same server so maybe this is not a fix, but thought i'd offer it out.

I'm having a bunch of problems. Most of the time the game tells me that every single server I try to connect to is full or I try "play now" and it just sits there doing nothing. After an hour of trying I got on to a server, played for one round left the server to join another server and now it keeps saying "failed to connect to EA online" or "lost connection to the sever".

Seems the connections are worse on PC than PS3 at least...so typical for a BF game. Here's our awesome product! Good luck playing it!

look. it's an issue caused partly by their server-system and partly by punkbuster. they released a server-side quick-patch. punkbuster didn't keep up. now the server/clients are out of sync. every server you join except for the rare few that have already restarted/updated will kick you after 10-15 seconds with a pb-init failure. it'll be fixed soon.

I know they are working on this problem but when I catch a good server I play for hrs so it aint to big a deal...I do wish I could see pings of the servers though.

Nice to know that by the time I get back in town and am able to play MP again they should (hopefully) have these problems sorted.
