Oh right, I did do it actually. I was able to play for about an hour before it dropped. However it didn't seem tod rop during an extensive character creation like Virtue does.

But to be honest, I really enjoyed the Roleplay content of Virtue.

I suppose I can try Freedom.

Well, it is DSL, so it is over the phoneline, but there isn't anything I can do about that, and I don't have problems with other internet connections (or internet games).

Here is that output form CoH Helper. Also I it happens seemingly randomly, it might happen after 5 minutes or after an hour or 2. It doesn't happen during map loading (at least it hasn't yet). There seems to be no link to hard disk activity that I can figure. As for defragging, I just installed the game, but I can give it a try (usually takes awhile however).

Not listed here but my downpipe is about 260 kb/s or 266,240 bytes per second. My upstream is around 50 kb/s or 51,200 bytes per second.

As soon as I start to have fun, I always get the 'Disconnected from Mapserver.' This is really frustrating. Honestly I cannot continue to play like this. I am playing on Virtue.

Alright, not sure of the hostility of these forms so I will list what I have already tried and information I have gathered:

I have/am
-Playing on windows 7. Yes, I am running the game as administrator
-Connected directly to my Internet modem
-Made sure I am not downloading anything else
-All Updaters and other Internet applications are closed (I disabled windows update)
-Updated my Ethernet drivers (NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet)
-Updated my Graphics drivers (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320mb)
-Updated my Sound drivers (ASUS Realtek HD Audio (built-in))
-Updated my system BIOS
-Playing in windowed mode
-Disabled my firewall and virus applications
-I have used /netgraph to check and it things are perfectly green up to the disconnect (even then I see nothing)
-I have tried both /net_error_correction 1 and /net_error_correction 2 to no discernible result.
-I had before I connected directly to my modem, opened all ports on my hardware firewall (no change)

I am a bit out of ideas. I want to be able to play the game, but if I get disconnected in the middle of a mission or just while standing around it really isn't fair to teammates (especially since I like to play an empath).

I only recently picked the game back up. But if this continues, I will have to drop it again. If there is anything you can do to help, I would be greatful!
