Whenever I attempt to connect to ANY server, it will begin to load, and then at the end of the loading process i’ll recieve the following msg: “Server disconnected for unknown reason.”
I’m certain this was caused by a new autoexec.cfg, but i’m not sure which setting…could anyone please be kind enough to help me :???:
If it’s needed, i’ll gladly post my entire cfg in a reply; anyone, please help.
I have noticed this happen if the level transitions while you are still loading… other players see you are disconnected for a version mismatch. Could this be it?
THIS also happens to me and it pisses me off cause i lose all my xp and time SOME1 FIX THIS NOW 
Radio active,
I assume this never happened before new CFG? If so, PB may not like your new CFG … this also happens when you join non PB servers w/ PB disabled in ET settings? Did you roll this CFG yourself ?
let us know
i´ve seen often “…disconnected for a version mismatch …” , that usually happens after the warmup is finished and the match starts, kind of bug i think, but who knows …
post your config, maybe we can find a faulty line or something that punkbuster doesn’t accept
i got:
p3
933mgh
128 ram
gforce 2 mx 400
soublaster live
windows me
those are my specs
some1 fix it quick its still hapening
Please guys i am renting a server right now that i can’t even connect to and i have never touched my config this is happening on a clean install i’ve reinstalled several messed with every ingame setting trying to get this to work please help me i am getting SO frustrated i have the same vid card as AFI maybe it’s something to do with hell i don’t know please HELP!!!
The Worse part about it is when it already takes an unusually long time to load and connect THEN it throws the disconnected for unknown reason at you it gets me very heated :banghead: to where i almost become violent…i can connect say 2 out of 10 times but those 2 times i connected were GREAT i love the game except for our little misshap although i have never played through an entire campaign because when the first battle is over it disconnects for unknown reason again when trying start the second battle come on guys please…help me out i love the game…oh i don’t seem to have a problem connecting to empty servers F.Y.I
Right moron - if you had the decensy to be polite in your posts you might learn a few things.
CFG means config as in the config setting yo ucustomise, like controls and display options - not your pea-arse system specs.
Posting 18 million angry smilies isn’t going to speed up the time it takes for someone like me to help you.
Have you tried deleting all ET files and re-installing
Are you behind a router/firewall/proxy - if you know what any of those are?
If it is a Punkbuster related problem you will usually get a PunkBuster error on your screen telling you exactly what parameters are invalid for ET play - if not scroll up through your console to the point where the error occured.
Finally remember this is a free game and SD ppl and forum members don’t owe you anything so don’t order them about
/rant over
I had the very same problem in RTCW and later in ET. I’ve been playing RTCW for 2 years on local servers and rarely did I connect to a server at first try. I’ve never believed it would be related to ram but one day I just quited the game, shut the pc down and add the extra 128 in the other pc at home to my already 128 ram and connect again, the problem was gone. And I was connecting really fast.
Excellent post. You give good tips.
Especially tip number 5. You can read in your console what happens. Post it here so we can see what the error is… That really would help us a lot so that we can help you
Also, if you use a custom config file please post it here. Maybe there’s a wrong line in there.
Are you sure it is randomly?! I also see this sometimes but only for 2 reasons:
Well, it sometimes shows up when the map is done loading, but it hasn’t reached the place where you can pick who you want to be.
Do I give you my etconfig.cfg from my profile or from the etmain?

Hopefully its not too much to read… I’m so sorry for bothering you guys. :banghead: :bored:
The ‘disconnected for unknown reason’ message is usually because it is taking longer to load your map than the server timeout setting. Effectively you are being dumped for inactivity.
More memory will speed up your map loading.
128meg is pretty borderline even with Win98. Anyone running XP really needs 512meg.
Fiddling with your hunkmegs (/com_hunkmegs xx) might help. Try setting it to roughly 2/3rds of your RAM though some people have problems if it is set to more than 192.
