There is a problem with your connection

Post by GayGirrafe »

Hey guys, I've returned to PR after couple of years and to my surprise I was met with a message that says, "There is a problem with your connection".

I have a new PC, a new ISP but I had the same issue with the old one, and a fresh installation of PR, tried almost everything, I'm somewhat desperate.
It's not a ping issue too, fiber internet and a good stable ping without packet loss, probably, tried flushing DNS although I don't think it matters, any help? can't play at all, sometimes I get a good 30 minutes of gameplay before the message comes up stuttering in my screen, thanks.

This is unlikely to be related to PR and more related to your network. What server do you play on? When playing on overseas servers, a lot can happen that causes this.
Also are you playing on cable or wifi?

I'm using cable, very recently I changed ISPs and got fiber connection, which is way better than my old one, however I had the same issue before I changed to fiber, I usually play on HOG and VG, but it seems like it happens in both and in other servers.

EDIT: I have tried 1.1.1.1 cloudfares VPN and it did not work as well.

1.1.1.1 is a DNS resolver. That wont help you as the game runs on UDP and uses direct IPs. Try out a proper VPN to see if that helps

After your suggestion I have tried a VPN, it doesn't seem to work at all, no idea what it can be at this point.

Update, reinstalled without the actual download assistance and delete %temp% and it seems to works as for now, I'll update in the future.
