No that's something completely unrelated Solidfist. JackM make sure you have all the ports needed open. Is it still acting up because it could just be GameSpys servers clogged.

God...why does everyone say "make sure u have all the ports needed open" and no one ever says which ports!!!

Can someone finally explain which ports need to be open for this freaking game.

Sorry im just really angry right now.. i had to spend 50 freakin bucks on a DVD rom cause BF2 wasnt recognized on my previous DVDROM...could have saved 30 on newegg...rediculous! :angry: :angry:

Dude Battlefield 2 has SEVERE Connection problems. I try to join any game and 99% are full while the other 1% I just get booted back to game lists. I will try to uninstall BF2 and then that doesn't work correctly. My specs on computer are top of the line. This is only place I can rant about **** POOR Programming outside of BF2 game engine. **** POOR. VERY DISSAPPOINTED. want to play NOW and it has reverted to gay play.

I believe the instruction manual has a chart as to which ports you need to have open. I don't have my manual handy or else I would list them.

I HAVE THAT SAME PROBLEM! THE GAME WORKED FINE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, AND TODAY IT WONT LET ME JOIN ANY SERVER. IT JUST KEEPS SENDING ME BACK TO THE SERVER MENU SCREEN. I PLAY ONLINE GAMES ALL THE TIME AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS DOING THIS. IT ALSO WILL NOT LET ME UNINSTALL. WHEN I SELECT UNINSTAL, AND SELECT BATTLEFIELD 2 IT STARTS THE UNISTAL WIZARD, THEN IT DISAPPEARS.

I get -- The Server has refused your connection -- when I try to create an account or just register the software package.

At first, I thought... I'm just lame... so I tried the following:

1. Disabled Worm Protection and Autoprotect from Norton Antivirus.

**Didn't work**

2. So I made sure Zone Alarm was not on as well

**Didn't work**

3. I thought... maybe I need to register with GameSpy first. So I got an

account. But still can't connect, I should have figured this.

**Didn't work**

4. I said what the hell.. and I unplugged my router and refreshed my

cable modem and kept everything off making my machine completely

naked... and connected directly to the modem, just in case it was my

router. **Didn't work**

5. I looked on Windows XP Home Edition and made sure that the firewall

was disabled **Didn't work**

6. Someone then told me about msconfig, so I ran that and disabled all

programs that were enabled for startup thinking that, hey maybe it's

a software conflict. **Didn't work"

7. I haven't tried calling Oceanic Cable yet... to see if they are closing off

any ports... but I figured I'd do that last after talking to ea support.

8. I plan to call sometime tomorrow, but if anyone has experienced the same

problem and has a cool solution, please email me.

P.S. I did go out and purchase the 50+ dollar version of the game, thinking that

the multiplayer didn't connect in demo... What a loser I am....

Anyway, any help would greatly be appreciated. For me, I live for multiplayer internet action... the game is good enough for single player... but ...Aaarrgh!!

BATTLEFIELD 2 CONNECTION PROBLEM

I just called the EA headquarters in Redwood City California and was told that the problem is GTA IV, go figure. GameSpy manages both BF2 and GTA IV online play and I think it's no surprise this has happened since GTA IV has to my knowledge broke all the previous sales records. And has multiplayer.

Let's hope EA and GameSpy manage to solve this problem as soon as possible. The estimate was about a week, but it may still take longer. Thumbs up for EA and GameSpy, nobody could predict this.

whoops, old post, same problem.

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
