Connection to the host has been lost

[HEINZ™ BAKED BEANS]

Any time I attempt to connect to any server, I get an error message along the lines of "connection to host has been lost". I haven't had a problem in previous beta waves. I have not been able to play a single match this time around. I have validated files and deleted the "ROGame" folder in My Documents which didn't help. Is anyone else having this issue? Any fixes? I am using a wifi adapter already; I read a cable causes some problems.
Also unrelated, but from when I hit start game in Steam to when the initial loading screen pops up is four minutes long, which is kind of a lot. Is that common?

I had "Connection to the host has been lost" error too. I have fixed it by restarting computer

I keep getting Connection to Host Has Timed Out. This issue appeared for me in Rising Storm last year and I've never found a fix. It happens every single game about 6-7 minutes in.

I'm not certain if we've had the same problem, but I persistently had an issue with extremely long load times, where half the time I get DCed after a 5+ minute wait.

Try updating your Steam In-Game server browser max ping (Steam > Settings > In-Game). Set it to 250, and see if that helps.

Also, I've found that some servers get me in quickly, as opposed to others. I have the most trouble with official servers. Community servers usually work out best. The 14th's server, I tend to get in within 1 minute.

All the time after starting the game I get
"connection to the host has been lost"
the first 2-3 times trying to connect to a server.

Doesn't matter which server.


After that 2-3 fails , it works all the time with all servers till I quit game

Once in awhile if I spam connect i can get passed the connection error and into an infinite loading screen.

Hey guys, thought I'd share my solution for this. There are known issues with the Netgear R6220 router (and some other routers) that cause this issue. I was connected to the router through an ethernet cable and got disconnected every 5-10 minutes after first connection to a server.

This fixed it for me on the Netgear R6220 router, here are the steps for this specific router:

1. Log in to the routers webinterface.
2. Press Advanced.
3. Press Setup, then QoS setup.
4. Above the "Reset" button there's a dropdown menu of games/services for QoS. Press it and choose "Add new application" in the bottom.
5. Name it whatever you want, i.e. "RO2 Vietnam". Set the priority to highest. Then set Starting port to 7777 and Ending port to 7779. Then press Apply.
6. Slay some vietnamese or vice-versa.

Hopefully this works for anyone else experiencing the same issue too. I'd love to hear the results!
