client disconnects after a minute or so

[rogerdv]

Today I tried again to connect to PS servers (fragnetics and ezpcusa). My problem is that when I start the clients the servers are reported as working. If I can type mail/password quick enough I can connect to them, if not, the list displays both servers as failed.
If I can log in, then I cant enter the game. In fragnetics  I have 2 characters, but when I click Join I get a client disconnected message after a few seconds. In the second server I get the same, when I click Quick or Custom to create a new character.
Im using Gentoo Linux, a Celeron 2.6 CPU, 1Gb RAM and a Radeon 200M IGP. Im behind a firewall, but all outgoing connections are open.
Any suggestion to solve this?

Hmmm, can't say that I have a clue about what's going on, but it definitely looks like a networking problem. Do some testing on your own connection, see if ports are opened (7777 UDP) if connections have a low timeout, check firewall settings (also if you have one on the router), do a traceroute to the 2 servers...

Some people played the game on modems with very high latency and it still worked so server-wise it should not be a problem. Unless the anti-cheat speed module has been enabled, but I think that's still under testing in the SVN repo.
