Microsoft/Others any help for me?
Multiplayer PvAI games, I lose connection, network adapter loses internet connection (not sure if the adpater itself is being disabled/reset). It’s worth noting that when this happens, TeamSpeak also loses connection. I have to goto wifi connections, disconnect from network, then reconnect. Then it’s good, other than whatever game I was playing has since booted me. I receive similar error messages in AOE 2 DE as do the folks in this thread. “You have been disconnected from network. Check your connection and try again.”
Happens to me routinely, when playing online with friends. During a lan at my house, it happened also to a friend of mine (but not when he’s at his house). Leads me to think it could be related to my ISP, if the problem is network related. Or if it’s hardware related, would explain why it’s essentially only my laptop having issues.
Step 1: How can I isolate whether it’s hardware issues on my machine, software issues in the game, or network issues?
Question 2: If we host a multiplayer game on “Local LAN” is that avoiding servers altogether? We’ve tried that option as well and still have the same issues.
Specs are below.
Happens regularly on AOE II DE. I bought AOE II DE via Steam. Happened once or twice to me on CS Source, as well.
- Drivers say they are up to date
- Reset my internet router
- Try to quickly save the game when I feel it crashing. Sometimes we can reload without issue, but someitmes upon reload the AI is messed up and allows its villagers to idle the remainder of the game
