Connection Issues in Multiplayer

Whenever I enter one of the larger maps like Temple Steppes in Multiplayer, my internet just starts disconnecting and reconnecting like crazy. I use TeamSpeak to play with friends but TeamSpeak will constantly give me the "Disconnected" because it's retrying to connect over and over. My friends see me standing still when this occurs when, on my screen, I'm moving around. This has only happened to me, not any of my other friends. I've tried letting someone else host the game to see if that would help but it doesn't. Any help? Please and thank you!

You're not the only one with this problem, trust me. This happens to me too, mostly when I'm loading a new area, the game just disconnects me from Skype and Steam. Only in multiplayer though, singleplayer is safe.

Sounds like your connection has issues with Peer to Peer networking.
Many ISP's don't allow you to connect P2P, in an attempt to stop piracy... but they forget that a lot of games' multiplayer use P2P as a connection.
My advice will be to speak to your ISP and ask them to turn off any traffic management stopping you from connecting to P2P networks, as you are unable to play multiplayer games.

@Flappers So I'll need to contact my internet host?

I don't think it's the ISP. Or at least, nothing to do with P2P networking. I've played other games that've had torrent style patchers before(seems quite popular nowadays...along with Pando). I've even used torrents for patches and clients before(got Raiderz via torrent just a week or two ago).

Even though I've done all this p2p downloading, my internet still dies when trying to play multiplayer with my friends. We use Tunngle for speed and convenience, perhaps that's it? I mean, we'd do real LAN if we didn't live across the country from each other.

I don't know, but I hope this gets addressed in the near future. Been wanting to play this with my buddies since it released but I can only play singleplayer XD
