Ok, so Saturday I started up BF2 to kill some time. Joined a server, spawned, and then was immediately dropped to the game selection menu, with a dialog stating "Your connection to the server has been lost". I figured the server crashed or something, so I picked another server, joined it, and... the same thing happens. I tried 2 more servers, with the same results, decided my ISP must be having some trouble, and went on about my business.
I didn't get a chance to play again until Monday night, so I start up BF2 (having completely forgotten about the problems from Saturday), join a server, spawn, and.. Yup, you guessed it, game selection menu, with the same message as before. On the advice of a friend I reinstall the 1.41 patch (which had been working fine since whenever it was installed, 2 weeks ago?), and he gives me the IP for the server he is on, now I get a message stating that I can't connect, and I need to check my network settings. I'm on teamspeak, so I know my internet connection is working, I can ping the server he's on, so WTH?
Today, I try again. Same thing. So I wipe the game and reinstall it. Same thing. I can play single player just fine, I can start my own multiplayer server and play just fine, but as soon as I join a server out in the world, I get disconnected. I haven't been able to find any information on something like this in these forums, or anywhere else, and EA's support is worthless on it's best day. I'd appreciate any insight anyone has.
I'm not being kicked, I'm not banned from any servers, so that's not it... I'm at a loss for what the problem could be.
Thanks
