Losing Connection after playing ArmA

[Huan Lee]

Alright. I don't know how well I can explain this, but after I play on Arma and only Arma for a while, like maybe for an hour or less, I get a yellow chain, get kicked off, and my over all connection drops. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Internet being throttled?

Your internet service provider is making your connections shit in prime useage time so they save money.

 

Basically they're not giving you the service you pay for.

I do see this when I do an internet test, @W00bzy

I have 120 down but my internet service provider throttles my connections randomly. During 5pm-12am I'll get like 4 down instead of 120. Then at midnight it will usually go back to 120.

Is there a way to make it not throttle? This seems to happen whenever I play

Well. If you are being throttled then in my experience there's nothing you can do other than get a new internet service provider.

In my area, I can't get a different internet company so I'm stuck with being throttled.

 

Use Ookla and do an internet speed test.

 

Post your Download speed here. Because you only posted a picture of your upload speed.

 

http://beta.speedtest.net/   do a speed test on that website and gyazo your results.

Also, a thing I do to watch my internet speed is the teamspeak that I'm always in, which is FSA, I get 41 ping average to the teamspeak.

 

 

Right click on your name and hit connection info. Figure out what your average ping is in whatever teamspeak you're always in. Keep TS connection info on your second monitor or something and watch it. If it randomly goes up a lot from your average than you know you're getting kicked because of internet issues and not an Arma issue. If you get kicked a lot and your ping isn't jumping past 350 in teamspeak then it's an Arma issue.

I don't have a second monitor, what can I do to keep track of it?

Uhm. If you play in windowed borderless, I would keep it up under your game and just check it every once in a while.

 

If you get kicked from the server alt tab immediately and see what your ping in teamspeak is. If it's higher than normal, you might be having internet issues.
