US Gamecube FSOD/RSOD virgins?

If your game hasn't frozen or reset on its own so far, you're a winner!

Since Thursday i have frozen once everyday i played.It can be after 30 minutes,2 hours....everytime it's been inside a game,twice with 3 other players and once in a lock game i made as a test.I notice the other players are frozen while i can still move,then i have the disconnect message at the bottom,just like when you quit normally but as soon as i press start,the screen goes black and my Gamecube freezes,i have to shut it down...i also lose all unequipped items.I am using BB with PPPoE,i just have the straight set-up into my external modem.I never freeze using my computer and i rarely froze like this after close to 1000 hours on the DC with a dial-up with the same company.Something is wrong with the Adapter and GC PSO,i'm sure it's not my provider.

pupupu, lots of problems with PPPoE and broadband adapter I've heard =>_<=;;

[DirewolfX]

I had a few problems with the BBA when I first set it up... I would get disconnected after a short time. But I changed my setup a bit (I added a switch in between me and the other hubs), and it works perfectly now. Haven't had any problems at all in the past week or two, and I've played a lot (I'm around level 55 now).

I've been hearing a lot of trouble with PPPoE, though... perhaps the PPPoE support is buggy. You can always get yourself a router and let the router handle the PPPoE and configure your PSO for DHCP. In fact, if you're willing and able to set up a router on a computer (and get a second NIC), you can even do this with a Modem connection... of course, you'll need to switch to the BBA instead of the Modem Adapter.

Ok here us my setup.

Cable DHCP/Dlink 704 Router 4 port 10/100 switch/Gamecube.

Havent been disconnected once.

Cable modem to wireless router, wireless bridge to BBA.

I get my signal through the floor, and I haven't been FSOD'd, RSOD'd, or disconnected so far :P

Riel, unfortunately, it is a bug in the software... I suffered the same problem during my first week on the import. There's no way to fix it. Your only option is to purchase a router and have the router handle login details to your ISP with Ethernet cables to PC and GCN, or run Internet Connection Sharing on your PC and run a crossover cable from a NIC to your GameCube.

About 32 or so hours on BBA... And not a single problem yet.

[DJ_Monkey]

I must be lucky...I lasted 25 hours on dial-up with out FSOD/BSOD/whatever else.

[Cheech]

80 or so hours and not a thing.

But.. whenever I fight Falz, after the darvan things when the Statue is breaking, the game always freezes for a second. o.o;

Offtopic: Am I the only one that gets MASSIVE slow down when fighting Ep 2 bosses? God, x_x;

[Dangerous55]

Meh, happened to me once, lost Visk and Varista. Im on 56k, happened around my 40th hour. Im done for a lil but, very laggy, I never find ANYTHING, and lost my stuff. Thanks ST, but no thanks.

Thank you, finally someone that knows what's going on. Could you possibly assist me in stopping my constant FSOD's? I use Bellsouth FastAccess DSL that uses that PPPoE thing and I have gotten FSOD'd 4 times in the past day. o.O;;

I know jack about routers/hubs/"NIC" but I'm not computer illiterate. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out with this either by email, AIM or whatever. Let me know, I'm dying here. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[VulpesMundi]

I've been playing well over 30 hours (probably already close to 100, forgot to check and my friend is playing right now) and haven't had any *SoD or disconnection problems whatsoever. I'm probably jinxing myself by saying that, but I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Alena Zouryx]

Wow...I've played dial-up for 2 weeks now and I havent frozen or FSOD'd once..

[Fulgore_7575]

What is it? I hear my friend's game freezes too, and his DSL disconnects on the Cube. I connect via the BBA and never had any problems? Am I a winner?

[Vandal]

Haven't froze or reset yet, thank goodness. I didn't have any probs with DC ver either.

I just got FSOD'ed the very first (and second) time. I know that this problem is common for people with DSL and 56k and people without router/hubs. What's strange is that I'm using Cable Modem and a router and it still froze. I guess no one is immune to getting FSOD'ed. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Wheee, I just got a FSOD at the login screen. It made a strange noise while it was frozen. Usually if I unplug the cat5 cable from the cube, it auto-disconnects me, but this time it didn't. So I had to turn off my cube. I started back up, and it gave me the message like my inventory was going to be initialized, but when I started up, I still had everything.
