OK, before all of you jump on me and tell me to go and buy my own copy of the game, I must say this. I have bought the game as has my roomate that I refer to in this post. My question is this. When playing online at the same time and on the same server, one of us will always drop from the game at some point. Do any of you know why this is?

I'm guessing it's because it's seeing two instances of the game running on the same IP but with different serial numbers. I have hear of others having this problem too, but I want to know if there's a fix?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

well i get alot of guys on my =SK= server that run with the same ip cause their on a router. i dont see them getting kicked cause of it. i was going to say, maybe your using the same cd key, but you said your both using different ones. maybe you should check and make sure your not behind a firewall, cause that could cause it to happen. is it the same person getting kicked all the time? cause if it is the other pc is set DMZ on the router making that pc open to the net. ph34r.gif

The person who gets booted is not the same person all of the time. It is whoever joins the game second. We are on a router and it's a linksys wireless. I know it has NAT, but I don't believe I've set the firewall up yet. That could be the problem I suppose. If the firewall is set up and is the problem, is the only fix to drop it? And yes, we do have 2 completely seperate CD keys. Thanks for the help in advance.

I have the same router and often have the same problem.
