So, I'm getting this error everytime I try to connect to a server on swbf1, where after loading, a blue box pops up and says "Connection to Host lost." with "Waiting for players" pulsing underneath it. The only thing yo can do from there is press "Ok" and get sent back to the Multyplayer menu. This happens with any server I try to connect to.

I've had similar issues with swbf2, but it occurs only half the time in that game.
Might be related with ur internet
does it happen in any other games ?
That happens with me too,the difference is that i can manage to connect to every server but after like 15 min i get randomly disconnected and need to re-logging.
I get this frequently as well, on SWBF and SWBFII. I've always assumed that it was trouble with my internet.
Could it be an issue with the firewall blocking swbf?
I don't think it's a firewall, As they have all been either disabled or marked to allow battlefront through. My internet is a decent speed, so I doubt it's that. It only happened some of the time
on Battlefront 2, but I only managed to connect to a swbf1 server awhile ago only one.
what type of internet service do you have?
Also, are you using wireless to your PC?
Or powerline adapters?
Normal Cable internet (Verizon)
Normal Cable internet (Verizon)
I'm connected to my router through wi-fi usually, but I have tried using an Ethernet cable to no avail.
No powerline adapters.
Also, not sure if I made it clear, but This problem only happens on SWBF 1 and 2
All other games no problem.
I assume you are running the patches for the new master server?
or are you using a hosts file?
Does this happen in LAN mode or only internet mode?
Do you have any mods installed?
What version of windows do you use?

I gave him the new master server patch, so I know I didn't give him the host file. This error has occurred for him even with Gamespy SWBF2 not just GameMaster. We've never tried LAN only Internet mode. I've been on team viewer multiple times with him trying to resolve this issue. He has 0 mods installed. He's even tried multiple computers. He has a Windows 7 PC and a Linux laptop and both get this same error. I thought this was a port forwarding issue so I even forwarded his ports and it still happens. I did read where a guy disabled his sound card for SWBF and it stopped giving him the Connection to host lost, I thought disabling the sound card would only fix the crashing on a map loading up. I'll tell him to try this next and see if it fixes.
The other thing he can look at is getting a new router and/or checking for IP conflicts on his LAN.
Router issues would do this.
Could he be missing a dll file maybe?
Edit: I fixed it

A reinstall of the whole game could be done, just in case.
