"Lost connection to host"
I see a lot of people having this problem. Periodically being disconnected from a game within anywhere between a few minutes to a half an hour since joining. I have no firewall, router, or connection stability issues. I have patched tcpip.sys to allow for unlimited connections. Does anyone have a definitive explanation for this issue yet?
A lot of things affect it. Most common reasons are lag time outs and the person's ISP periodically losing connection briefly (being an AOL user I get this a lot ).
Well, I'm not being disconnected from anything else. Just LFS.
It still does it. On the server-end (since I connect to my own dedicated server hosted elsewhere), the message in the server window is just "[myname] Timed Out" and then "[myname] Disconnected"

Like I said, my internet connection is just fine. It's hard for me to believe that this is happening to so many people and there isn't an explanation/solution yet.

??

Edit:
Wow, upon finding a suggestion in another thread to change to 16bit colors, I did, and I no longer seem to be getting disconnected (still to be tested more). I'm glad it worked, but why would that have anything to do with connection issues?
Nevermind, it's still doing it.
