Host server error

zoldiq_K

Hi all,

Today I have got a horrible error pop up, after launching every match i got : "Failed to connect to Host server" then i press "Ok" and if I try to enter a room it say : "Disconnected from server" i press "Ok" and I'm redirected to the server selection interface. At this moment if I double click any server i got the pop up : "Disconnected from server" => "Ok" => out from the game and back to windows.

I tried :

_reboot router
_reboot computer
_desable anti-virus (game folder is already in exeptions list)
_and at last, delete Xtrap folder

My connection is fine, i tested some streaming (not while playing CF), downloading, playing other online games and all is fine.
I play CF every day before, and no probleme until today, no changes in my hardware or software system. I'm under Windows XP and Admin session.

I saw in some threads in other forums that a similar error may be caused by a ban. No e-mail in my box from z8games or my account management interface to confirm this. Instead I never get banned, never used or did abnormal things in game/forum to be banned.

Any one has the same issue ? I need your help if possible.
My best thanks

Speedtest.net results and pingtest.net results.
CF may use a different port than other games... so recheck that.

and what kind of a bump was that? I don't even understand it

Thanks for reply one_9, it's gentl ^^
I haved try ping test. Jetter not so far bad and ping is correct.

\i/ Problem solved /!\

I tried to change my graphic card > remove the pci connected one and activate the graphic chipset integrated to the MotherBoard. It seems that RAM vidéo was affected.

Actually, the real problem is the error message. Really it's not explicit to help players and almost z8games support team. When the problem concerns a display/graphic issue it says "Connection to Host server" ....

Of course, an issue like this can cause perturbation in connection between client and server, but the pop up window must notificate the cause and not the consequence to avoid time loss and consumer loss

Finally I hope this helps other players in the same case.

Note: sorry for faults in my english, instead I speak french very well
