They have several major stumbling blocks in regards to this issue.

1. The forum accounts aren't merged:
You can log in with your username or your email and have seperate passwords, avatar's etc for both.

2. The accounts are somehow supposed to be linked with gamespy accounts:
If you don't own the gamespy version of the account with the same name as your one here you are probably screwed. You may possibly have even given some stranger your LE content too... (assuming it works on a username basis rather than email - I haven't entered mine).

The problem is in order to fix these problems they'd have to merge these various things, and with the second one there isn't a way to merge the accounts without someone losing their name.

Unfortunately, whether anyone at Crytek is actually actively trying to sort this problem OR even sees this as the MAJOR problem that it is, is very much in question (note upcoming weapon balance changes).

I think you've got the problem. My username "DRK3" is taken on Gamespy.

How is this not still fixed? I showed some goodwill by keeping quiet for a few weeks and give you some time to get things sorted. That time has now run-out. I have lost all faith in Crytek and no longer consider you a competent PC-game developer.

Don't even bother making a PC port of your games in the future, you clearly do not care for the community.
I was trying to have some goodwill too by being quiet for awhile, but I think time's up. Unless I see something dramatic happen, then this will have been the worst game purchase I think I have ever made, seeing as how I can't even play mutliplayer after a month.

Has anyone with this issue actually had it fixed for them yet?

Please get this fixed... sooner rather than later... BTW I like the fact that the editor for Crysis 2 is to be released in August... nice move guy's.. can't wait, I already have ideas for levels... If the AI has been improved as proomised, then this is going to be something I am looking forward to using

This issue makes me sad =(

Guys, I know the solution to this. Unfortunately, it requires changing your nickname to something not taken by another account. Go to http://www.gamesas.com/forums/ucp.php and you'll have to change it to something else, and then it works. I Just changed my name from DRK3 to DRKThr33 and now I can log in. Meh...it'll do.

I just wonder if some countries are not allowed by this game.

I can in account settings reset my password, I cannot however use my password here as it doesn't recognize my password at all. I also cannot login to multiplayer at all or register my keys. Problem since pre-order of Steam Limited Edition.

im going nuts.... i spend 60 euros on this game and i can f*** my self in single player. This is going nowhere!

Who cares, Brink releases in like 2 weeks. Crysis 2 can shove it. They've missed their mark by a long shot and this game will go down in history as an absolute failure. It's disgusting that this issue has gone on so long unresolved as it shows a complete lack of regard for their community or their game. I was quick to blame EA, but even EA is no where remotely this bad when it comes to their games. Good bye Crysis 2 as you have officially be uninstalled.

i have not tried yet but i feel ya man . i truly do have sympathy

Tested it and IT WORKS! Thanks DRK!

When can we expect a fix, it has been over a month since the launch of the game and I still can't play multilayer, this is becoming extremely frustrating.

I can't even change my name... it always say: "an error occured" even if I try to change my name to djmlzejofzenkl ( the chance that this name is taken is like 0.000000001%)

I can't do this because where it says to change the username, you are asked to enter your password. It doesn't recognize my password even though I am logged in and I am confident with the number of tries I have done, that I have entered it correctly.

No problem =P

Hey for those of you having problems entering your password, try changing your password in the User Control Panel, and try that new password. Any luck?

The option to change my nickname doesn't even exist for me.

yup, for me too, it works, I can use my LE items.

and new patch 1.4 but didn't fix it so I wonder what they do

Ok when are u guys gonna fix the login error? i downloaded the demo and couldnt get on then with the gamesas.com account and now i have the dam game and it still won't let me in. Its telling me i have either the nickname or the password wrong...... they are not wrong.. sooooo whats up?

hey guys dont know if this has been said yet but I was having the problem that i couldn't sign in ingame, somehow my nickname was my email address and I think the @ and . arn't aloud to be appart of your nickname so it won't work. Each time I tried to change my nickname on my crysis I kept getting " A ERROR OCCURRED" . Well someone said that they are linked to gamespy, so instead go to gamespy and sign in using the email address you normally use and then use the nickname you use on one of your gamespy account in the gamesas sign in. (note: I use the same password for both gamespy and mycysis so i dont know if that helps it work). Its the same account because the welcome message has been deleted. And i can now sign in using my nickname ingame. happy days. hopes this helps

my crysis 2 multiplayer works now. i made a new account and it works just fine.
try it, maybe it will work.
