FAILED TO LOG IN - MULTIPLAYER
OK I have waited patiently for Crytek to fix this issue or EVEN TO COMMENT on it other than "we are aware of this issue" before posting anything but enough is enough!!! I'm so fed up of being told I have a network error by the stupid in-game window when I try to log in.
My gamesas account works, I can log in here no problem, but try it in the game and I might aswell be hitting my head against the wall.
Things I have tried to be able to log in -
TURN MY ENTIRE FIREWALL + AV OFF
create fake account with made-up nonexistant email - this worked... WTF!?? (but then these details wouldnt work 2nd time round!!)
create a NEW EMAIL ADDRESS to sign in with.... come on guys seriously, you shouldnt be forcing players to resort to crap like that just to log on to a game!
have my friend who can log in on his account to try to log in on his pc with my details (rule out hardware / router issues) - no joy
create a fake account AGAIN and use a made up GAME SERIAL NUMBER to register my copy of the game with - IT ACCEPTED THE MADE UP CODE!! i mean come on what the hell kind of fubar authentication system are you guys running that a game key i just invented off the top of my head is accepted!!???
I have tried all other manner of retarded things like using names and passwords without capitals, without letters, without special characters, and all combinations of these things.
SERIOUSLY YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT THE DEMO!!!! HOW COULD YOU NOT FIX IT IN THIS TIME????
I am sure most people would agree that they would prefer to have a game at launch that is a polished, bug free and proven to be working game in its entirety rather than this annoying frustrating broken failure of a multiplayer.
dont get me wrong i lvoe the game the single player is fantastic and looks brilliant, i think you've made a great single player game from what i've seen so far. which is why its ALL THE MORE FRUSTRATING that you failed with the multiplayer so badly. you let yourselves down you let the community and the fans down and soured what should have been a brilliant brilliant game.
LEARN TO GET GAMES WORKING BEFORE LAUNCH
DONT USE REDICULOUS IGN / GAMESPY RUBBISH for your account creation and authetication
PROVIDE MORE FEEDBACK TO YOUR CUSTOMERS so at least we are updated with progress and have an idea whats going on.
Currently it looks to us like youve stuck your head in the sand and are hoping we'll go away...
I see alot of QQ about DX11 - to be honest it wont improve the gfx that much and it is not a major issue anyway.
Priority from all should be fixing multiplayer account creation and login, and then server availability and reliability.
Im sure this will not be read or paid attention to by any Crytek employee and nothing will come as a result.
Please quote this post if you agree with the issues i've mentioned
