This is an odd problem
I try to connect to a friends pc with FG2. That happens fine. Then it tries to download campaign files. It starts, downloads a random amount between 10% and 50% and then stops. Occasionally if left it will resume and download a little more then stop, usually permanently.
So I restart it, and it tries again with similar results. And again and again and again. Sometimes it might get 3/4 of the way. It doesnt stop at the same point.
Eventually after hours and hours of trying and occasionally days apart it will finally succeed, usually all at once pretty quickly.
This happens every time. I have reinstalled FG2, I have made sure the various ports are set both in sofware and router firewall, i have placed myself out of DMZ though i never have problems with other things, and nothing has made any difference.
If FG 2 at least recoded progress and resumed a download rather than restarted it, it wouldnt be a problem since id get the whole thing in a couple of tries. But as it stands im rapidly losing patience after several game evenings have had to be abandoned as a result.
Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Before suggesting firewall related things, remember the campaigns will eventually download all the way, after many many many tries, so whatever the problem is, its not blocking the connection.
