Same problem here...

I could finaly log in, but now there are no servers in the list...
Not even if i put several servernames in the serverbox.

One question to all...
Is it correct, that i need the same password as on this forum???
Because i have never played online before, and so i have never created an account to do such a thing.

The hacker problem is easy to fix. Just play on admined servers.
Although, I would very much like to see a perma-ban feature. 60 minutes is nothing, please do something about this.

Also it's quite the outrage that servers cant go 4-5 hours without crashing. This is also a major concern for me.

FIXED: Incorrect login details for Crysis2 Multiplayer. I have changed my password multiple times and not been able to login. Did it today and voila, it worked!

Time to annihilate!


no it doesn't work for me

still cant login

fix this joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

doesn't work....................

Hi everyone,

I was experiencing many of the login problems that everyone else is having (1000 ping servers, endless search for quick matches, sitting in the lobby with other players but never connecting, finally joining a match but getting kicked in two minutes). I spent hours on the phone this weekend with my ISP and the router manufacturer's help line to resolve the issue, but nothing seemed to consistently work. But I kept screwing around with the settings and here's all the crap I did before I could finally play a game:

-Creating a static IP for my PC (because I have a modem/router combo unit)
-Moving my PC's IP into DMZ
-Port Forwarding UDP port 64100 (pretty sure this is redundant with DMZ mode, but you know, just to be safe)
-Deleting the entries for Crysis 2 in Windows Firewall, then re-allowing them after trying to log on. I am able play and have Windows Firewall on at the same time.
-Enabling UPnP/Network Discovery for both Home and Public Networks in Windows network advanced options
-Enabling UPnP on my router
-Disabling every firewall feature on my router

So yeah, god knows what actually fixed it, but it finally works. I'm pretty sure I tried most of the options above independently, but it didn't work until I combined everything together. The last thing that finally got me to solve the problem was that I had noticed a weird message in the log file of my router saying that there was a "LAN-based UDP flood" (in one case in port 64100, which I had already forwarded) coming from the IP of my computer every time I tried to connect to a match, which led me to realize that despite forwarding the port, the router firewall was still blocking it because it had been misidentified as a DoS attack. So I turned off all the firewall options on my router, and I also noticed that my router had a UPnP option that hadn't yet been enabled.

As soon as I did all of that and reset my PC, the multiplayer worked flawlessly. I started seeing lots of matches with (relatively) low pings, and I was able to get into a game, log out, and get in again to another one, and never got disconnected while playing 2-3 hours tonight.

Other information: I use Avast! as my antivirus and have Windows 7 64 bit.

I really hope this helps somebody out there--I somehow managed to play one successful match this weekend, and it got me hooked enough to keep banging my head against the problem. Good luck!

Hi,

Having exactly the same problems and I'm pretty sure this WOULD be the fix. My router (BT Home Hub 2.0) said something about an "IDS scan parser" on UDP ports under "security" in the logs. Most notably, it wasn't listed as "FIREWALL" so that's why disabling the firewall wouldn't have an effect.

Unfortunately since for some reason my computer is not listed as a device, I cannot put it in a DMZ just to check. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

I also know for a FACT that my ISP (BT) throttles certain kinds of traffic such as BitTorrent, but I don't think they cause packets to be completely lost.

So any suggestions on how to get my computer listed so I can put it in DMZ on a BT Home Hub 2.0 would be appreciated. I'll also contact BT directly.

hello guyz al checking for multiplayer and it's empty all the time how can i fix that ?

yes please this is a must dx 11

is a must please make it possible

Well the way it worked for my router was that I manually typed in the IP address of my PC. I didn't have a list of devices, just "which IP do you want to put into DMZ?" As for the firewall, I would suggest disabling every kind of firewall and antivirus while you troubleshoot, and once it starts working then you can start adding stuff back until the MP doesn't work anymore, then you'll have identified the issue. Honestly I think one reason why it took me so long to find a solution because I was doing one or two solutions individually, but not everything together. Hope you get it to work.

Just got a call from EA.

That's right... THEY CALLED ME.

Why?
Because I filled out the customer service survey, with
"I have found numerous bugs and would be willing to talk to a CS rep."

Apparently EA did not realize the communication problems, now does, and is now taking action; or,
it may have taken 3 weeks to get to my "issues".

THEY have a bug list, and are working to consolidate it, and get on the "devs" to get them fixed.
EA rep was very receptive, and was typing, furiously as I spoke.
It seems like EA is standing up.

First and foremost: Crytek is not communicating BACK TO US on bug status (reported, in-verification, in-engineering, in-testing, patched). They just say "working on it", and the really nasty bugs are not even "being worked on."

Server Latencies make game unplayable in-between major hubs (NYC, CHicago, LA; I live in Ohio)
1000mSec pings reported in-game.
110mS pings repoted, where actual in-area ping is 30mS.
Could help to add more servers in between current major hubs? (unsure, cause I don't know what people are getting for "Ping" inside these central hub areas.)

Network dropouts ("Lost connection to Session")
Network deadlocks (the "...please check your connectivity" error, requires Windows reboot)

Some discrepancy between EA/IGN/GameSpy/Crytek player databases may be causing inability to login. Rumor has it that Crysis-1 IDs may have something to do with it too. (I don't know how the databases are structured, but have seen login problems at non-gaming sites; and, trying to solve them will make your eyes bleed)

Negative Nano Catalyst

unlocks resetting.

Router Port forwarding incorrect in manual (disagrees with readme.txt file)

Items promised for pre-ordering Limited Edition at full price must be renumerated, since they had/have no value. Suggested advance play in new maps, or expanded maps that give more credence to battle tactics (e.g. more sniper positions, gauntlets, possibly a new game scenario) to those who own limited edition.

These are mostly Multiplayer.

I don't know about all the bugs in Single player, so someone else will need to alert them regarding the why's and where's of "stupid AI", game logic deadlocks ("Semper Fi or Die"), etc.

As for DX-11. I guess that we've been officially promised it by Crytek?
(so probably not a good idea to press the issue with EA until the bad bugs are fixed.)

Who ever gets one of these "Customer Feedback" forms:
Fill in the comments section!
Be civil.
Be Nice.
List the bugs.
Be specific - list any error messages, and the steps you took.
Invite them to call.
DO IT NOW!
(you might be pleasantly surprised)

Now, can someone please tell me how to shoot down the helicopters in "Sangre Del Toro"?
(the RPG doesn't seem to do any damage, and I can't find any places to reload it w/o being fragged)
PM me please (don't wanna get banned)
see ya online, when I can play Crysis-2, with a K/D ratio better than 1/4

PEACE-OUT.

bacchusmole

thank you very much your advice has helped i have win 7 x64 , Norton 2011

Yeah the Home Hub unfortunately does not allow me to select an IP to put into DMZ - you have to select a device, and for some reason my computer does not show up in the list. I think I have another router somewhere though, I'll see if I can find it.

If fix for login issue will be ready Plz PM ME !

OMG crytek please reles the sandbox 3 editor and Dx 11 patch. Just listen do the fans that want to play a good game on pc not some crappy console game:) //sry bad english

At the time with FarCry2 I told myself that if Crytek had created it, he would certainly have been better. but I find this to be false. FC2 syndrome is contagious to what I see ... Crysis 2 is also reached O_o

FarCry -> Good bye Crytek
Cry$i$ 2 -> to god CryTek

Fortunately we still Sandbox 1 and 2! enough to produce mod QUALITY


FarCry 2010 MOD

OK, my opinion on this whole thing....is that the single player is great. But bugs bring it down, plus the game feels overly simplified for the console market. And that is a MAJOR shame since, I felt that Crytek was one of the few developers that still loved and respected the PC community that gave them fame. But the multiplayer issues are unforgivable and it serious makes me question buying from them again. I was plagued by almost every issue on the list. My key wouldnt work, my unlocks wouldnt save, my key would say "already in use", I would get kicked a ton from games....and those are just MP games. It's awful that Crytek of all people would shaft us by giving us a vastly unfinished/bad made console port.

As far as DX11 goes...we should have had that Day 1. Period. Giving us a game that doesnt support at LEAST dx10 at this point is an insult. The fact is they made this game for consoles and then shafted us by doing a bad port. I lost a lot of respect for them because of that. Especially when CryEngine 2 supported dx10. They sold out to make more money. They should have made the game for PC and then ported to consoles. That way we get the best product possible, while consoles get the same quality they already have.

Sorry Crytek, but you have lost almost all my respect.

SnewT:

I completely agree with you on all of the aspects your post is about.
But there is a major issue when it comes to making games: And that is money.

Problem is, that if you look at the number of games being sold to the conxole market vs the number of games being sold to the pc market you will quickly recognise that you get A LOT more profit from the console market. So, speaking business: What would you do? Make a console game and port it to pc or vice versa?
The answer here is clear I think.

Don't get me wrong, Im not trying to justify any of the afforementioned issues, Im really disappointed in this game as well, but I believe PC Gamers better get used to it...
I do own C2 for Pc, just for the record.
And I do own a PS3 as well.

Generally speaking, I think that the uprise of the gaming consoles has genereally started the downfall of quality in videogames.
Just look at the COD franchise: With every game there is, we get served the same old bs just in a new package.
Another example: Killzone. The first one was really good and had a few really neat novelties in it and a good story. 2nd and 3rd? Just a stupid and short SP with almost no story, nothing special about it and a neglectable multiplayer. Still its bought like hell is gonna break loose if you dont own that game.
The Only really good games in the past few years were, in my opinion, the Fallout series, Borderlands and the Assassins Creed series. The Battlefield series is ok too, but nothing too good.

Well, let's all hope for Deus Ex Human Revolution and Portal 2 I guess... oh yeah, and, of course, the Duke

I'm using the pc version (1.2) and I think I may have found another bug; after loging in and entering multiplayer I go to my Friends list option where i find a mates friend invite proposal, I accept and imediately afterwards my friends name vanishes. Leaving me all billy no mates and an empty friends list, ultimately no closer to gaming with a friend in the same game..!
My connection's fine, i get a server list and not to mention all my other games work online. It just won't let me accept an invite.
When I try searching for my friend (and yes; using the correct spelling and case) it says he doesn't exist on the network when I know he is being on the phone speaking to him at the same time as trying.
Bug or am i doing something wrong....???

What kind of nonsense?? In multiplayer, more than 15 times have to get lvl UP and when I'm out of the game my lvl and all unlocks disappear...Almost all the weapons that I opened again closed. Modules are also close by themselves..And how is it possible with such nonsense get
upgrade for the weapons???I've been wondering ... After the release almost a month passed and still in the game such ridiculous bugs...

We should doubt competence of the Developers???

Oh I have no doubt its about the money. But these bugs? I don't see how you can release such an unpolished product. It would be one thing if the game still functioned, but these bugs are borderline breaking the game for MANY people. But I do COMPLETELY agree. Quality has taken a major backseat to just making the money. But I had high hopes for this game. I have been a Crytek fan since I was about 15 drooling over the Far Cry goodness at my local computer shop. And to see this.....its very disappointing.

I still believe in Crytek. keep up the good work you guys!

Well, this fixed the flickering issue for me (11.3 cap3) but I'm getting lower fps in xfire than with 1 card and it's all stuttery and not smooth at all. I think this game is a lost cause.

ya me too, it just kills the performance

I regret buying this game. I don't care about anything. The PC fanbase deserved a better treatment, we been supporting Crytek all these years.
This game is, so far, the biggest disapointment in 2011.

There will be some anti cheat in Crysis 2? Why in the world so many bastards who play with cheats??? And one more question.... Why the grass green???

коры травишь!

Have you used RadeonPro tool and created a new profile with the crossfire settings set to F.E.A.R ?

I had the exact same pb and radeonpro fixed it for me, its running silky smooth now ^^
