I have seen this forum and a lot of people are calling it Star Wars Battlefront 3, which is incorrect. Dice is developing and EA is publishing the new game, Star Wars Battlefront, (not that it is not SWBF3) and it is the REBOOT of a Game Legacy, not the continuation. It will be SWBF. Also, if you do not believe me, see http://starwars.ea.com/battlefront [Note: in the video, and on the page in fact, there is not once a mention of SWBF3, just SWBF]

Lol @ this. The game will technically be the 3rd SWBF game to fully come out. Therefor I will continue to call it SWBF3. 

From my understanding there is only three ways to play SWBF2 online. GameMaster, GameRanger and FreeGST.

Everyone knows what GameMaster is obviously. It was the most popular one out of them all. I haven't played Swbf2 in a couple months but when I was playing everyone was using that.

FreeGST never took off. It had some cool features added to it like fixing the team chat colors but it had a issue with servers not being able to be restarted until you changed the port of your server. Not sure if they fixed it but I'm pretty sure it's dead.

GameRanger is a thrid party LAN program similar to Tungle, I noticed a decent amount of players use it. When I was playing though Game Master was more populated. So I don't know if players from GameMaster moved to GameRanger or not. I find it stupid to move over to GameRanger due to losing the capability to run Dedicated servers but that's just me.

Nothing on the internet keeps you from port forwarding. If you have a router, then you port forward automatically for a lot of things, whether you realize it or not.  When we talk about port forwarding here for SWBF, we are meaning a manual set up of your router to send the traffic to a designated game computer.

If you have a direct connection to the internet like the NFO server, or at home without a router, then you don't need to do any port forwarding.

Anyway, if you have an issue with gameranger, it is because of windows 8, not portforwarding, since gameranger doesn't need portforwarding.

Lol? It depends what type of router you have, just because you didn't have to port forward doesn't mean everyone doesn't have too. I run Widows 7 and I had to forward my ports to use it. But the easiest solution to this is just to DMZ your router. Then you don't have to worry about port forwarding anything.

Remove me from this tournament, I'm done with both Swbf1 and Swbf2.

Well so you guys outnumbering at these battles is any diffrence?
This have not been a problem or anything someone have complained about until you guys lost to it.   
Not saying its anything wrong with doing it, since its nothing against the rules. Just wondering why complain about it now when you have done it before?
Im out of this conversation now, i dont see any point in keep talking about it.

I have complained about this rule to a few people even when FC was the people out numbering, did I make my thoughts public then? No I did not and maybe I should have. I find this rule  and ruins the competitiveness of this game. If [FC] out numbers BOB or BOB out numbers [FC] it's unfair either way. 

--Censored by DP

Wyo and I are Swbf2 players, so maybe Swbf2 players are just more autistic then Swbf1 or something but I don't see how in any competitive stand point you can argue uneven teams is better tournament balance. If that is tournament balance, I can see why Swbf1 died years before Swbf2.

I'll challenge Kelle on GCW Mos Eisley, you choose time.

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.

Yeah, but what we want is people to play together, not to talk about 10 alternatives which will lead to a way more divided community...
That's why I'd recommend to focus all atention in one alternative which works alright, like GameMaster

I wouldn't mind using GameMaster but I'm pretty sure the Americans are going to use FreeGST. I guess we'll just have to see which one gets more populated.



Video tutorial if no one saw the other post.

Video tutorial how to connect to FreeGST.

Not sure about the Euro's (I'm assuming they will be using Game Master) but the the majority of the American community (what's left) set on using Eyes Only's master server, FreeGST. Which is a shame if the Americans do use it, it will split what's left of the community in pieces. Some will be on Game Master and some will be on FreeGST.

sounds good.
