Hi,
Whenever I join a multiplayer game, I suffer really severe lag, and after about 10 seconds, I can't move or shoot at all (I can just look around). A semi-transparent icon featuring an Ethernet port with a red X over it appears in the lower right-hand corner of my screen. Then, after a few seconds more of this, I receive an error message stating, "The game has closed down," when in fact, the game has not closed down. This happens every time I attempt to connect to a multiplayer game, without fail.
In case you're wondering, GameSpy is not installed.
I have forwarded ports 2302-2400 in both my router (hardware) and software firewalls. I have a wired internet connection with 10/100/1000 Mbps on-board LAN and high-speed Roadrunner service.
I have also experienced these same symptoms on other computers in my home network.
I am not a hardcore gamer, but I have no trouble joining and playing other internet multiplayer games, like Star Trek: Elite Force 1 & 2 for instance.
For the life of me I can't figure out what's going on, and I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
