Could my firewall be showing less people online?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 9:22 am

I use a BEAST firewall, norton 2011, and today 26APR at about 0750 PM EST there were only about 50 people playing Instant Action online worldwide in several full servers and I couldnt get into a room. Currentlly its 0750PM EST and in Instant Action there are only 113 servers with only about 8 of which that have players inside (4 are full). Its getting real difficult to find a game.

Everything I start up crysis it tells me that my firewall might make it hard to join servers. Is it possible there are more people playing at these times that im not seeing or do so few people play worldwide during those times. It's either that or the recent patch.

I think it's a good possibility. Try disabling the firewall and try searching for servers again!

Probably you want to change that thing for a real firewall/antivirus.

Hmmm, well, I have a firewall on, but it's just Win7's built in firewall, and Crysis 2 is on the "exception list", but I too do not find alot of people online. Now, I do have my server search filtered, but only for 200ms and lower pings and the North American area, still I find 250 to 500 servers (depending on the time of day I search). Of all those servers I find though, the majority are "empty", maybe 10% to 15% actually have players..

I am think about taking the "ping filtering" off completely, because in the "server window" it always shows the lowest ping @ 93ms, however when I actually join the server, my ping is much much lower, like 12ms to 40ms. Still though, I would think American servers would be packed? Heck.. I'm not even sure it's filtering correctly, I joined a server last night that said it was a "Dallas" server, but I was the only english speaking guy in there.. lol?
