I seriously need this, thanks. I've been trying to get into the gamer because I just bought it recently and I cannot play the game for my life because I always dc in the middle of gun fights with my best gear and die. It's a really fun game but its hard to play when you lose your gear and it's not even your fault.

IF THIS DOESNT WORK CHECK UR MODEM INTERFACE, if you are using a DS-Lite tunnel instead of a fixed ipv4 connection that's the problem for the connection losses. CALL YOUR provider take 10 mins, tell them to give you a static ipv4 address and there you go, no issues.

I'm now more interested in if you can share your mic's current EQ settings haha, very good quality!

[kannutottv]

it's the same with me. I don't have any packet losses or bad connection and it still happens. Anybody get it fixed?

2021 feb...still didn't work for me

[godah]

yo guys, i need help. the game keeps giving me `` Server connection lost '' in every single raid, and when I re-enter the same match, it keeps giving me this error in loop. I have already tried to change server, install the game and the launcher 3 times, I also followed your video but nothing changes. i have 3ms and 850mb / s. all this for 3 days now (days I couldn't play a game)

[aaronvanzanten]

Eft works fine for me,
Except reserve
I get disconnected on reserve after deploying.
Very frustrating indeed

I did everything as instructed still get lost connection

These devs are almost as incompetent as the DayZ devs. I've found threads from 2017/2018 of people complaining about server issues and losing gear. This shit is still happening -- in 2021? They need to get rid of that bullshit that deletes your gear just because they have bad servers. They owe the community that much until they get it together.

Idk why but for me factory and interchange work for me fine (labs does to but it’s hard to play) any other map I just lose connection idk why.

[laitila]

I just bought the game and it takes forever for it to connect, then it just disconnects.

following the steps here helped me cut my ping from min 105 to min 55, yet to test it in game but helpful and informative non the less, thanks a lot.
Edit: Tested it in game, still had to restrict it to my Local server cause I think my internet is just bad. Even so thanks to this video I can now play on that one server without constant disconnects. just long wait times to find a match instead!! Thanks for the help :)

Welp tried third vid now and still aint working guess I just wasted some money.

[jeremyknezha]

I've played this game for the past 4 years, and this game and its garbage servers and garbage spawns are worse than ever.

Already tried the above... For me personally, i can play the map Factory completely fine with no issues what so ever, but going on to any map either crashes the game, brings up server connection lost error, connection lost to anti cheat error, or i just get stuck on awating game session screen...

I have submitted a support ticket to BSG and they have reccomended the folllowing...

"Try to remove the dog tag case from the secure container.

You must verify the integrity of the files. If necessary, re-install the game.

Also check your connection, try using a VPN and select only servers close to your region."

None of these have worked so far other than the use of a VPN which i have no tried.

[Migueltheperson]

Ok can somebody help me, the BSG launcher won’t load. It just loads and after a while says: something about being unable to connect to the servers or something like that.

[cedro]

I cant Connect while doing the last map of the guide
