For the last three days I cant play any multiplayer game for than about 5 to 10 minutes... it locks up no matter what game mode, kicks me back to the home screen with error code 201. I have looked all over the internet for a solution and nothing works. Other than EA threads saying its not on their end, which it must be because I know its not on mine... everything else I play runs fine. I can play single player mods all the time, but any online game its 5 minutes worth of playing then my gun freezes to my right shoulder for about 10 seconds (locked up) and then the error code. Ironically, when it sends me back to the home screen, I am still connected to the EA servers and not disconnected. I can rejoin a game, same thing happens. I have tried different settings, nothing stops it. Does anyone have a work around. Last week I was able to play with no problems... full games... Now, no more than 10 minutes at the most... I have not completed a single multiplayer game in days... not one.... I know this is an old game and they probably dont support it anymore.. but it still has a player base and these errors should be addressed...
Any help is appreciated.... Still a fun game... would love to play it more...
"Other than EA threads saying its not on their end"
The threads don't just say its not on their end. For example, this one has a link to an article (which has a link to an additional article). Did you try each of those suggestions - not just some, but all (that apply to your platform)?
"I know its not on mine". Famous last words. LOL There are a lot of people playing without the issue, so it very well may be on your end, or more specifically, your end and/or the ISP's.
"everything else I play runs fine" - This is a reasonable thought process, which is I also go through sometimes. However, I've seen repeatedly that a given game will have certain demands that all other games don't. It doesn't make it a bad game, just possibly leveraging newer/different technology. This is one of the challenges we face as PC gamers.
BTW - There is also this post regarding wired versus wireless. However, if you made your way thru the first article above, you likely would have tried this.
