Hi, I'm new to FF RPG, I tested it out in single player and thought it was pretty neat so I decided to play it with my friends. However, after the loading screen, it instantly says that my friend is disconnected and he says he keeps getting disconnected. I thought it was my internet at first and hosted a random game but things were smooth (no disconnection). Then I had my friend host but the same issue happened where I was disconnected. Is there any way to solve this? Or what is the issue actually because I really don't know but I really want to play with my friends. Thank you.

There can be so many reasons so almost imposible to tell, but one of the reason could be the computer's hardware.

How good are your friend's computer? Maybe it can't handle all the units at once, or just big map.

Alternative try get him to download Newgen WC3 and load it up with the map. When it disconnect to see if there is any error messages (They will appear as normal WC3 text but in blood red color (you really can't miss them )).

Otherwise I have no idea. Wireless connection jumping on and off?

I had this problem, too. I think its a problem with the upload of the host.

When you are hosting much people your upload raises, when you got on your limit, wc3 disconnects automaticly some players for saving the ping and prevent lags.

I had the disconnecting problem too but it happened mostly in private games for some reason. If your game was private try making it public.

It still does happen in public games too, i read in a post that its the server splitting, for my games it always split the first half of the players (excluding me) so i got my friend to move down towards the end as a cheap way to solve this

Server splits usually have to do with leaks in the code.. and GUI has tons of leaks.

oooo, thanks for your help. My friend just called me and said it could be his computer hardware because he hosted a single player game and he got "disconnected" as well, which explains a lot now. Would turning all the settings to low help solve the disconnection? Or he has to upgrade his computer? Thanks for helping guys.

Titan

Uhhm, could you post your friends computer specs?
Mainly his OS, RAM, and processor speed.

How to HOST a SINGLE Player game where only 1 player is able to play? And it's sure impossible to get disconnected in Single Player. Do you mean a LAN game?

Titan

Yeh.. unless you mean the game crashes..

Oh i meant like the game crashes haha. Well it didn't kick him off Wc3 but the map would just go straight to the finish part where you see the stats of the game and player kills and such. But he fixed the problem, i told him to try turning everything u can to low. BUt thanks guys for your help.
