Whenever I try to join a FTAG game, I get "Server Disconnect" at least the first attempt. Sometimes I can get in the 2nd time, or 3rd time, or it might even take 5 or 6 times! But tonight for example, I tried 4 times and was able to join a game - finished the map and it rotated to I think bonsai and now I can't get in at all - tried at least 10 times, server disconnect every time... can't get in at all. No problem with other games including other XI servers - everything else is OK. It only happens to the XI freeze tag server. I mentioned this in one of the games and a few others chimed in saying they have the same issue from time to time. But for me, this is happening every time I try to join now. Any ideas on what's going on? Fat Tire

So what you could do is delete your copy of the mod on your computer and let the server download a new one for you see if that helps. If not post back see if I can remember something else to try.

I don't believe it's a PunkBuster issue, he's been able to log in and play some maps... However I did suggest to him, deleting all maps/mod... Your maps can be found in "YOUR INSTALL DRIVE:\Users\???\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps" and mod in "YOUR INSTALL DRIVE:\Users\???\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\mods\xifreeze"... Once done removing all, dowloading the XI Downloader 2.0.2.0 from "https://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/download/18-xi-downloader/"... As per out conversation two nights ago... Perhaps that may help! Fat Tire, if you have any further issues shoot me a PM and we can meet up on Team Speak!! Take care... Edited December 22, 2015 by Belted Merlin007, tinmann and djMot 3 Awards

I'll try deleting the mods etc and redownload them again. Lots going on right now.... in the next day or so I'll give it a try. BTW: this "server disconnect" thing happened about a year ago and it cleared up by itself.... then I had the duplicate port issue, and that seems to be cleared up now as well. Strange problems on the FTAG server! Maybe it'll just go away on it's own again?? ... at least I'm hoping Belted, I installed Teamspeak quite a while ago - never really learned how to use it but I did have the xtremeidiot channel bookmarked. I tried to launch it tonight and it asked for an update - ran the update and it almost completes but errors out "the procedure entry point getlogicalprocessorinformation cound not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll" So there's another problem I'll get to when I have time! One more thing that I should mention.... I have a few computers, but this one is still running XP. Still runs COD WAW OK even though it's an older set up. I suppose it's time to just wipe out the drive and load Windows 7 on it... yea I suppose I've gone long enough with XP on this tower. Edited December 23, 2015 by Fat Tire Belted 1

I'm thinking that my first map seems to take a long time to load (mod also loading?) .. And possibly times out... Just a thought.

Decided to move all the maps into a temp folder (out of the way) then tried to rejoin the game - it downloaded the map fresh and I was able to join first attempt. I though I had success! Then the map finished and sure enough it failed again on the map rotate. Deleted the map folder again (looks like it's the same "xinam" folder that was created from the last map), tried to join, it downloaded the map fresh again and I can't get in at all - tried to enter the game 5 times, server disconnect every time. So the first success appears to be a coincidence. So it sounds like it's not an XP issue if other players using other windows versions have the problem. It's not a map issue - since it still fails after a delete and redownload. But something happened a few weeks ago that somehow caused this.... This problem is erratic - you just never know when it'll be stubborn. Sometimes 1st attempt, sometimes 2 or 3rd attempt. Other times you can try over and over and never get in. One thought that occurred to me, if we sit idle too long in a game, you get booted from the game and it says "server disconnect". I suppose this error can account for all kinds of issues, but could it be timing out when loading the map and disconnecting us? Could this be a problem on slower computers? If this makes any sense on a technical level, is there anyway the time limit could be extended while loading the game? Edited January 5, 2016 by Fat Tire

A lot of work has gone into these to find optimal settings which has been working ok for all now (qport exception) so I would have a look at your connection, running services, etc that might impede a stable connection. It's odd that it is only the FT server. Also check this post out by https://www.xtremeidiots.com/topic/58088-network-guide/#entry638064 and see what it pulls up for you.

Almost always on the 2nd attempt - that's an improvement. But tonight the map rotated to another map I could not get in at all again - server disconnect every time - tried at least 8 times. To answer the above questions: Do I have this issue on other servers? No, just Freezetag server only. In fact other XI servers are OK as well.. just ftag server only. Someone asked about Realtek sound drivers: I know there are a lot of Realtek sound chips on motherboards out there (one of the most popular).... and yes I have the Realtek on this motherboard. But where did you read or get the impression it could cause this type of error? I'm sure sound chips and drivers can cause crashing in games, but have you heard of intermittent "server disconnect" errors while entering COD? Or, are you mentioning it because it can generally cause issues in games? It really doesn't seem like a sound driver, but I would be interested in knowing more if you've heard something. Run the game in XP mode? I should make clear that I was actually running Windows XP for quite some time without any problems, but a few weeks ago this problem began in XP. I decided to wipe out the hard drive and install Widnows 7 fresh and I'm finding the exact problem again. It's not the OS, it's something else. And since I'm running an entirely different OS, I wouldn't think it's a driver issue either since Win7 drivers are different than XP drivers. Do I enter though the master list or favorites? I enter through the master list in the game. I know there are others that have this issue from time to time - I suppose different rigs experience it more than others. I know M16 mentioned he gets this error too from time to time, and others in this thread have experienced it too. I get the feeling it's a common issue... Thanks for all of the help so far guys. But it's starting to look like there isn't anything that can be done to resolve it - really looks like it's a server issue to me though. But I'm no expert!! I can get in most of the time, so I'll just work with it as best I can. Edited January 23, 2016 by Fat Tire
