dropping connections

Fyi, memory limits are 1.3GB for 32 bit windows and 3GB for 64 bit windows.

Players still having connection problems. Hurray! Tried a few different things as suggested. Found that when player are just connected and not involved with anything the connect stays true, but when players are actually playing the game they are dropped every so often and have to be reconnected. Sometimes they are dropped completely from the game. My internet connection is stable. Not sure what the reason for all this may be. Guess I will have to deal with the interruptions, disconnects, and other problems this all has. /sadface. Been using FG for a long time now and this has never been a issue. In the last year it definitely has becoming a problem.

Those who are having trouble get them to check their memory usage. And report whether they are on 32 or 64 bit os

You say your connection is stable, but stable doesn't mean it can support the desired bandwidth.

I too have recently had issues like this. For me it appears the issue has been the proliferation of devices on my wifi network. Fortunately I have two (2.4 & 5GHz) and I put all the stuff (like phones and tablets) that don't need bandwidth on one network and then on the other I put my FG laptop and a couple of priority devices.

@bukkyo - what ISP are you on?

[bukkyo]

My internet service provider is Spectrum. My pc is hardwired and not on wifi. The only other connection that could be running during my gaming session is the wife watching netflix which is on wifi. For other gaming reasons, I do I have my pc set as a priority. Just ran a speed test and my ping is 14ms, 476.36 mbps Download and 23.86 mbps Upload.

please check both the player memory usage after they join the game and when the dropouts occur please.
