Ok when i try to play online i can join a server but when i get to where to pick a class on the map its say connection to host lost it happens on every server Why?

Your ping is probably too high. Which server are you trying to make a connection with? I recommend trying SWGO - Jedi Battle Arena, it always pings very well.

I SAID EVERYSERVER i tryed that one also

Go to speedtest.net, click "Begin Test", and tell us what the Ping, Download speed, and Upload speed are.

Are you playing either on a laptop or a Desktop using an on board video port?
If so that may be your problem, there is a trobleshooting doc on the CD it details all that I just mentioned.
My old laptop I could host games but could not join, would get the same error.

Hmm, this would actually make a lot of sense because of the number of entities the game is required to render at once, and it's especially worse online because everybody else is doing their own thing as well as the A.I.

yea im using a laptop

You might want to be more specific than that. What brand, what model, or at least just tell us the graphics card and processor power.

Also, does it take 2 minutes from when you load the game or a map before the loadscreen appears? If you have a 2 minute long black screen before anything happens, then I know your problem.

loading the game yes loading a map sometimes but not all

Is this your own home network or is this a neighbor's/school/community network you're getting your internet from. Though a totally microscopic possibility, it could have to do with certain firewalls placed on your network.

my own network its wifi

From Trouble Shooting Doc

Intel 915 or 945G
When playing Star Wars Battlefront II on a system with one of these chipsets when using driver version GFX_XP2K_MCE_14.15.0.4363_PV.EXE (6.14.0010.4363) or win2k_sp1416 (6.14.0010.4384), you may experience the following issues:

• You may experience a long pause when loading the game or loading levels. This may cause the screen to be blank for close to 1.5 minutes.
• You may receive a “Connection to Host Lost” message when attempting to join Multiplayer games.
• The game may crash to the desktop when Lighting Quality is set to Medium or High in the Video Options menu. Setting Lighting Quality to Low corrects this issue.

Does your laptop use this chipset or the graphics driver mentioned?
Can you play other games besides Star Wars on line using you present internet connection?
Which ones?

i used to be able to play republic commando online but i havent played it in months since i uninstalled it

What brand and how old is your laptop?
What operation system are you using?
Check for the things I mentioned in the last post.

As a side note, more than just those two chipsets will cause the same issue. My old netbook had the same issue, and had niether chipset mentioned.




Which is why I wanted him to tell me what his graphics card is(so that I might know if it was good enough to play online), but he ignored my question.

You can always ask us if you need help getting the information we need.


Hold the Windows Key + R to bring up the Run Window. Type dxdiag and hit enter. If you did all that right, a window should pop up that looks something like this.
Now take a screenshot of that screen. Then click Display up at the top. Take a screenshot of that too. Upload both screenshots and post the links here.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

It's either the hardware issue FragMe! and THEWULFMAN are working with you on or it's your Wifi connection. Wifi isn't great for online gaming. If you can connect through a non-wireless internet connection do you still have issues? Also if you join a server and just spectate, do you still quickly lose the connection?

it loses connection when i get to pick a class screen i cant even see the sides to choose before i lose connection here is my info in this forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=27432

Yep, you definitely have the issue FragMe! posted (see below). The only thing you can try is updating your driver version. Past that you're stuck unfortunately.

The easiest way to check for an update is to head to www.windowsupdate.com
