Dedicated server disconnecting

Post by SteefMan »

Hi,
I believe since the beginning of FS17 I have this issue.
I play with my friends on their dedicated server and everytime I get the message: "you've lost the connection to the game". Just that same message when your internet disconnects. These disconnects happen between 0,5 and 40 minutes. The last few times it disconnects me most of the time around 5 minutes.

I've already done these few things:
- Reinstall the game 3 times (both Steam version and CD copy)
- Change graphic settings all the way to low
- Reinstall my pc (now running clean Windows 10 install with only drivers and fs17)

Edit:
- Also tried setting resolution from 3440x1440 to 1920x1080. Didn't help.
- Also turning off my firewall didn't work.

I also tested all this on 2 dedicated servers where I got kicked every time. But when I connected to a game that was hosted via the "create game" it didn't happen as far I have tested.

No other people of the group I'm playing with has this problem. So I hope you could help me out with this one since it really annoying :(

Kind regards,

Not the case here. Everyone can just get online fine but I just get disconnected now like every 20 minutes.

have you had anyone check the game logs in the dedicated server when you disconnect, see if they offer any insight?

Same was happening to me. At first I thought it was the server disconnecting. It turned out to be my desktop PC was disconnecting from the server. It was the WiFi Asus dongle on the PC that was dropping WiFi. I could not see it cuz game screen was covering the desktop. I swapped it for an older Dlink spare I had lying around and have not had an issue since. Hope this helps.
Cheers
