For those of you with connection issues

[Tommeh]

Thanks for programs but it didn't worked for me.I did eveything as you said and nothing,it's the same as before.My ping is still very high 500-1000 and I think that's the main reason for problems with connection.

Tommy tell me more about the problem you're having. What's your OS? Do you have a router? Firewall on your OS? Virus scanners? Have you tried a traceroute to see if you have packet losses to like lets say google.com or cnn.com?

I need some info on when you were last able to connect. If you're connecting to any other games. What error message do you get when trying to connect and stuff.

If you have a router, have you tried to DMZ your computer? This is a way to open all ports and make a dirct connection to your computer from the internet, meaning the router isn't stopping or slowing anything down.

Prior to trying this i uninstalled all forms of firewall/antivirus, portfowarding, pings, tracerts, direct connects, command lines with exe shortcuts.. everything.

Thats probably the reason why you were able to get connected. Some antivirus programs/firewalls block FL connection. I had the same problem with AVG Free 8.5, but i managed to fix it.

Here is the fix:

My OS is windows XP service pack 3.I have a router,Firewall on OS is disabled.Virus scanner was also uninstalled(it's installed again because it was not the problem(Nod 32)).I haven't tried traceroute because I don't know what does it mean and how to do it.I manage to connect almost every day,but very hard,I click connect at least 20 times before I get connected,evey time first I get message"please wait,the operation is taking longer then expected..." and then"the connection to the server could not be established,this is usually casued by server going offline when you try to connect it,It may also be casued [b]by other internet problems[/b]".When I manage to connect after few minutes of playing red connection icon starts flashing and I got kicked out.
What's DMZ and how to do it?
