[Win 7] [Solved] IP HIDER causing Endless log in / Can't log into acc

[ireg4all]

hi all.

Well, as the title says i can not log into my account or any other Online acc (Offline acc yes). I re-installed everything, disabled firewall, deleted battlefield 2 from my documents.. still nothing.

I don't get any errors, it just happened from one day to another. The only thing i can think of that may be the problem is this IP Hider program i installed. But even unistalling that didn't work so i don't know what else to doo..

It can be 20 mins trying to log in...

I used this TCPViewer program to see what ports bf2 was using and this came out:

Bf2: localport: local

UPD: 60172
UPD: 60173
TCP: 51973 < this one changes
TCP: 51974 < this one changes

The only thing that worked was installing other OS (XP).. so the issue must be with Win7.

I can't understand why, yesterday i was playing and today i can not log in.. !!!

any ideas ?

Is it only happening with BF2 / PR?
What router do you have?
Tracert a server and post up the results.

Yes, only Bf2 / PR.

I have 2 routers and 2 internet connections available. I tested both and got the same problem.

Router:

1. US Robotics 802.11g.

Tracert (PR server):



2. TP-LINK Wireless N Router WR941N.

Tracert (PR server):



Shouldn't i tracert a bf2 ip ? like eagames ?

I am going with this anonymity tool.

1. Go into "Internet Options" (use desktop search).
2. Connections-Tab (there should be no Dial-Up/VPNs listed)
3. Click on "LAN Settings" button
4. Check "Automatically detect settings"
5. Uncheck the others.
6. "Ok" out of the dialogs.

Check your hosts file - this one should be empty except for the comments.


Check what network adapters you have. There might be a virtual one as remnant of the IP Hider. It needs to be removed (internet might not work afterwards - make sure the other network adapter settings are ok [set to IPv4 set to automatic modes])

I had a similar Problem (several minutes to log in)

I googled and got this result wich solved the problem in my case:

Accounts wich go online hold a list with favourite servers. These are all pinged before logging in. On high ping times or dead server IPs are in the favourites list it takes long time to log in.

The favourites list is in the file "General.con" in your BF2 Profile folders.
On my Win7 these are in C:\Users\NAME\Documents\Battlefield 2

look for something like this:
GeneralSettings.addServerHistory "85.133.16.72" 16677 "SERVERNAME" 38

I deleted the complete List and only left:
GeneralSettings.addServerHistory ""

I also tested making General.con write protected and got no errors.

If you mean my host file in "C:/windows/system32/driver/etc/" then yes i had something (no comments), i deleted all except for the comments.

What i have noticed is that i have files in that folder "/etc",which i've never seen before.

Adapters are Ok. The only ones that are virtual are hamachi and tungle. And my wireless settings (IPv4) is set all to automatic.

Still.. not working :S

Didn't work

My problem is not that it's slow, it just never connects to my account

Anyone know anything about:

PCproxy.dll
ntdll.dl
kernel32.dl
USER32.dll

Some of these files were being used by IP HIDER and when i tried to install this program again i got errors that these files were missing..

[SnipingCoward]

Yes, thats the hosts file i was talking about.

This is very suspicious. "kernel32.dl" .. there is a "kernel32.dll" that is a native windows system file your version seems to try to camouflage as that file.
".dl" does not look very windows-like. Is it maybe a typo by you?

I hope you have some AV software...


Sorry though, I am out of ideas for the connection issue. You could install Wireshark to analyze the network traffic in detail but that is a rather advanced step :/.
