I have one PC on my LAN running Crysis 2 via Steam, the other via Origin after a recent bargin basemant Amazon purchase.

The second license was to allow my son and I to play together online... but the second of us to attemept connection to any game server is booted off the server before entering the game. I've been researching online for a couple of days, and have so far have:

- added net_lobby_gamespy_online_port = 64101 command into one machine's config, and
- port forwarded port 64100 to one PC and 64101 to the second (the one with the port adjustment) - and confirmed in firewall logs that comms is arriving on the adjusted port.

... I dunno where to go from here... do I need to chat to Amazon about refund, or is there something I'm missing here... I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if I can't work around this...

thanks for any advice.

So if I get this right, you have one copy from amazon and one copy from steam and I'm guessing you have two different cd keys, but if not, you won't be able to play on the same server with the same key. The error message after booted out of a server would be appreciated.
