Auto-disconnection in 40 seconds.

[Dusty]

Hello, recently I've been constantly getting the red message in the corner saying something along the lines of WARNING: Connection issue - Auto-disconnection in X.

Normally, this doesn't mind me because it's just my internet having a 'hiccup,' but these are happening several times a game, once every 30secs-2minutes. This freezes me for around 5-7seconds, which in such a large time frame, ends up me either missing a kill, or getting killed.

The only thing I've done recently to my wireless, is update the drivers on it, which stopped the USB port adapter from deciding to stop working whenever it wanted, and required me to reboot.

I was wondering if there is anything I can do to stop these messages appearing, and they are making game play very difficult, if not impossible to play.

Thanks in advance

Does it only happen on one server, or on all that you go on?

I would recommend maybe trying a direct connection via an Ethernet Cable to your modem to see if its some sort of interference with your wireless connection.

It's not just on the games, it's throughout my computer.

I would try that, but I don't think I have an Ethernet Cable long enough :L I don't see why just updating drivers would do this.

Try using that program that fixes Windows Wireless Check for I don't know what. It's called ..http://www.wlanbook.com/vista-wifi-60-second-lag-problem/

Hey dusty if you're using Vista 32 or 64 you may try this two tools...i think one of them is the one deluvas was talking about

VAL : http://www.codecase.de/de/software/downloa...anti-lag-v1-1-1

WLAN Optimizer : http://www.martin-majowski.de/wlanoptimizer/downloads.php

I hope this helps....It helps me a lot because i'm using W-LAN and get this lags ,too if i dont use one of them.

For me the second tool is working really good.

Sometimes I had lag before but that's weird,I used Wlan but I didn't see a lot of changes :s

if you use usb to connect to the wirless network it might be that go for wirless cards they work alot better then usb ones

[Dusty]

Thanks, the Vista Anti Lag has seemed to fix the problem.

I think I need to invest in a wireless card though.

Well a wired connection is a must for online gaming (depends if your wireless is good or bad)

Wired internet doesnt hiccup that often. but if your wireless is good and doesnt give problems. keep the wireless
