[Unresolved] Connection to server is lost?

[BlackAlpha]

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!

Multiplayer:

- HTTP communication has been rewritten due to connection issues reported by players.



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!

 

[KittyWolf]

Somehow my game is working and I am no longer being randomly disconnected, yay!

I get an issue where the first server I try to connect to results in the connection being lost.  I can't rejoin the server until 20 seconds or so due to "Someone is already using your profile name."  Then I can join and it works fine.

It's an annoying issue, but not very gamebreaking.  I run this on Steam.

Same problem as the original poster, I'd like an explanation. I also do not have a rgl_config.txt file in my Appdata, only in my documents. I've tried configuring secure connections, max connections, and single threading, all to no avail.

 

[Captain_Fozzington]

This is becoming ridiculous. I can't even play for five minutes!

Yep.

I have the same problem as already told.

I haven't played M&B Napoleonic Wars for a while, it worked without any problems. But now, I can play between 2-15 minutes, then I'm dropping out.

This is really annoying especially when you're playing the commander battle mode.

I would love to have a solution here.

Well, something new? I'm still falling out of the game after a few minutes in the napoleonic mod.

WOW!  I honestly thought I was the only one with this problem.  I started getting this problem several months ago.  I have been thinking it was my cable internet all this time. 

A couple things: 

1. The reason I thought it was my connection is because my cable modem is sitting right there on my desk.  When I get disconnected from a Warband server, I see a couple of the lights ("online" and "link" lights) on the modem go out for maybe 4 or 5 seconds then come back on and my internet connection returns.  The power light and downstream lights stay on.  I don't know how the game could cause this...maybe there's something inherent in the game connection that causes a lot of line "noise" and just causes the modem to crash?  Perhaps a "Steam" thing?  I have no clue.

2. Until recently, I haven't been playing any other online games.  When I started playing another game roughly 2 weeks ago, I noticed I wasn't disconnecting.  Having that happen plus reading all these comments leads me to believe there is something goofy with Warband.

This might help some of you to play a bit longer.
It helped my friend playing instead of 5 min 30 min to an hour.

Go to the config File in you my documents/Mount&blade warband.

Open the RGL_Config.txt

search secure conection. ( or something like this it is very far down)
If it a 1change it to a 0
if it is a 0 change it to a 1.

If this did not help I am sorry
Just trying to help
