C2 Multiplayer drops XP?

Post » Wed Nov 10, 2010 1:52 am

I just had an experience where I lost over a thousand XP in MP. I had just leveled all my suit powers to 5 by gaining over a thousand points in armor and power. I quite game in between matches and poof all that XP is gone! Is anyone else experiencing this. This isn't the first time it's happened to me either. Is this a known issue?

Crytek knows about it and its a very common issue. Basically your multiplayer progress is only saved when you manually leave a server or lobby. If you disconnect or crash then you lose everything you did in that entire play session (not just the last game you played) to the point where you last manually left.

If you want my advice.. whenever you have a good game leave the server afterwards to ensure that its saved. I would also recommend just leaving every 2 or 3 matches also.

wtf? you left between matches? Okay, I'm gonna tell you how to save all your **** in multiplayer. Cry-Tom/Cry-Adam already said it, but I'm telling it to you.

1:) Whenever you want to unlock a dog tag or weapon or customize, go on a RANKED AND EMPTY server, and do your stuff there. When you are done customizing/unlocking, leave the empty session.

2:) When you want to stop playing a multiplayer server, you must leave the session by hitting escape and "leave session" (or if you're in the waiting room, just "leave session"). Make sure the game says "Updating profile data."

3:) When you want to stop playing multiplayer altogether, just go ALL THE WAY to the multiplayer screen, then go to the singleplayer screen, then quit by clicking "quit" and "yes."

There, you will always have your **** in multiplayer saved. It's a good workaround until a patch comes. It's all about that "Updating Profile" stuff.

I manually left session after a match. I've run into the issue where it doesn't remember your unlocks and know the workaround for that and that does work. I'm talking about I manually left the session after a match was over and XP just disappeared. .Literally in a series of matches I went from 4 Armor 4 Power 5 Stealth to 555 instead by earning more than a thousand points of XP. I could see it in the game lobby before I manually left the session. After leaving the session ALL of that XP I earned is gone and I'm at 445 again. Sorry if I could have been clearer about that in my original post
