Hello. :)

Since yesterday, I've been having the much talked disconnect after 60 seconds bug. I tried the solution indicated on the sticky, every single one of them in fact, yet the problem still occurs.

Is there any other way to fix this?

Bumping your thread after less than an hour isn't a good idea. Nor is not listing your ISP, router, and whether replacing the masterserver2.vdf file and making sure you don't click on favourites or recently played exhibits the same problem.

You're right, sorry. It's just pretty enervating to have this problem come and go constantly. I've got a Thomson router, I've tried changing the masterserver files, tried entering the servers from favourites, public, even from the steam browser.

The only situation in which it seems to work, is when entering through friends.

Again, sorry for the lack of information on the first post. It's just a problem that's pretty much happening on and off since I've first started playing. :)

My point was to try replacing the files and make them read-only, as in the guide, and then just try to connect through the ranked or unranked tabs, not clicking on favourites or recently played, and see if that works - because it should - and so should joining from the Steam browser.

I have also such a router/moden.

With RO0st i had to put the servers i wanted to play into the
favourites.

Now with RO2 that problem has been solved i think by steam.

I get an idea, isn`t it possible to connect to a server direct by steam?

I don't think it is always a router problem. I have 2 rigs at home. Both connected to the same router (both over an UTP cable). One rig has no disconnection problems, but my sons rig does have it. It always disconnect after being 20 to 40 seconds in a game. How can it be a router problem if my rig stays connected? FYI: both rigs use the same firewall and anti virus software.

First of all, which router? Second of all, it is possible that the masterserver files are different, or that Steam picks a different port to contact the masterserver it chooses from one machine to the other. Also if you are playing at the same time on the same server, you sometimes have to change the Steam clientport, at least for some Valve games, or there is a conflict with data trying to be passed on the same port, which can only be forwarded to one machine at a time. No idea if this holds true for RO2.

If you do have a known troublesome router and you want to see what is going on, download Wireshark and start a capture on both computers, and run this filter: udp.port==27010 || udp.port==27011

If you don't display any results in this Wireshark log when refreshing the game list, but your son's PC does, then his connection is triggering the faulty rule. Also, if you've replaced the files on both machines, but he is using either favourites or recently played tabs to join, then that for some reason also triggers a connection on one of the ports.

The router is a LinkSys WRT54GL. I know about the problems if playing at the same time on the same router, but my sons game also disconnects if only he is playing. I will try that wireshark later on when i'm back home. Many thanks for your advice :).

PS: we both connect by using the favorites list. I will try it later on too by using the ranked server list and let you know the outcome.
