[Unresolved] Connection to server is lost?

[Sun of Austerlitz 1805]

I have tried everything ever suggested on all threads from resetting the secure connection to 0 trying the M&B test files, and deleting the rcl files even though there was never 2 and always 1.

I just recently joined a regiment and 90% of my games I get disconnected and when I can play its only for 5 minutes.

Now its gotten to the point where I made this account just to find the answers to this I really want to play this game please someone help!

I've already posted this problem on the other thread, but yes I'm also experiencing the Disconnection problem. I haven't had any problem until recently.

I had this problem no more...think its maybe cause i had Teamspeak on. Without it worked last Weekend for hours.

Dont know if this is really the problem. Only the Custommap 17 is bugging and lagging, but make no disconnects...

[Sun of Austerlitz 1805]

That didn't fix it either.

It appears there will never be a solution of any kind and all who have this problem wasted $30.

Mount and Blade by itself is an awesome Single Player game - Even if you can't get the DLC to work, its worth the investment.

Something else that I've seen suggested.. try running an internet radio like Pandora while you play to stabilize your connection.

How could it be the connection if I am told I have excellent connection?

I suppose I'll play the single player but its still a disappointment and playing against bots who have no common sense to run around a wall rather than into it is boring(for Napoleonic Wars).

[Kegger]

Data transfer is an interesting thing mate. You could have the fastest connection in the world and still have trouble connecting to things.

At any rate, it's worth a try. If you don't want to bother, well, enjoy your game.

I just tried but no progress thanks anyways I'll try the single player and just get the Skyrim DLC Dawnguard.

I had this problem then I ran a defrag and it worked. Now It is happening again and defraging is not helping. Omg it just plane sucks!!!

Getting the same issue. Worked fine yesterday, today I can't join any high player servers. I tried to connect 10 times and restarted my game each time, but it kept failing. Judging by other people's comments, this issue pops up randomly and then disappears again. Well, I didn't want to wait for it to fix itself.

By the way, I tried the radio thing, just to amuse whoever suggested it, but obviously it didn't work.

The game has problems connecting, so it seems to be connection related. I went to my documents and looked inside the file "rgl_config.txt". There is a line "max_number_of_connections = 16".

I changed it to 8 and I could then join all servers.

I changed it back to 16 and I couldn't join anymore.

I changed it to 128 and most servers didn't show up in the server browser anymore.

The game seems to have problems with high amount of connections. So I lowered it to 12 and now I seem to be able to join most servers just fine.

So, a possible workaround for this issue is to open the file "rgl_config.txt" in your documents. And change the line "max_number_of_connections" to 8.

Note that Windows 7 has two of such files that both need to be modified:

On Windows 7 there are two rgl_config.txt files that both need to be modified. You can find them in the following locations.

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Mount&Blade Warband\
C:\Users\(username)\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband\

I hope it works for you guys too!

i just recieved the update this morning, is it possible that the second listed multiplayer update addresses our problem or is this something else?

[Kegger]

It possibly could if all of the people reporting this do not have steam. Steam auto-updated to that...however on the flipside that also means that it could be whats causing the issues.

1.153 is a  month old actually, i just kept it there so people keep their warband to newest version.

Is there no cure for this terrible ailment? I tire of fighting bots!
