Multiplayer is killing my internet!

[Brain Dawgs]

Every time the server list tries to find servers, my internet modem fails.  Is there any way this can be fixed?

It doesn't work like that.  Where I live offers extremely little in the way of internet.

Edit: I don't think I have ever had this problem with any other game.  Mount and Blade multiplayer just attacks my connection for some reason!

i only have 2mb connection with 230kbs download rate, you think its easy for everyone?

For some bizarre reason this game is adversely affecting my connection.  None of the other games I own on steam are doing this, so what's so different about this particular game?  (Warband native causes this problem too)

Edit:  Besides, it is the act of getting/refreshing the server list that causes the problem i the first place.  I don't know if a new connection would do any good.

That's a tricky one. It's probably because Warband is trying to ping too many connections [thereby eating up resources] and it's absorbing your bandwidth. Unfortunately I do not know how to fix it.

Ahh, so there needs to be a way to cut down on the server pinging.  I guess I'll have to request an option to control it.

Edit:  The problem has been resolved.  For anyone reading this:

<user>\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband\rgl_config.txt

lower the value for "max_number_of_connections" to "max_number_of_connections = 10" or something. Maybe even lower. That might help.

But as crazyboy said. If your modem is struggling with the list then you might want to manage your expectations for how it works in the game.
