I don't blame him, i'm **** furious at Crytek.

Hard earned money down the drain.

.... hey since Yesterday I can't Log in to the Crysis multiplyer! Network Problem occures!
I spent hours nothing helps! First this message only appears sometimes and I it was solved when I restarted my computer. But now nothing helps. Is this a Bug or What should I do.

My theory is that it is the anti-cheat system crytek issued, if you previously had a demo of the game on your computer it may be flagged as a pirated version. So when you installed a retail non-pirated version over the old folder it may still be flagged as pirated. Just my two cents, i've had this problem for a while now and ported the 34100 udp thing doesn't really help. Or sometimes it fixes itself, it could just be a bandwidth issue because I have someone downloading on the main computer and a crappy router. It seems to be a bandwidth issue / anti-cheat issue I believe, but it seems to be more of a bandwidth issue and I'm going to look into it.

i have the same problem. i cannot play mp crysis 2 agghhh i'm freakin' out!

............................... when will this be fixed

QUICK NOTE, couldn't do a tl;dr for this post, and it is a bit of text (sorry!) but this is all just my input on the topic, nothing useful, no solutions, no trolling, just my two cents (pages?) worth.

@Sammysmiles1990

So that sounds like something that is possible, but it wouldn't be something that would register a network connectivity error. Also, I did not play the demo, so that too kinda throws your theory out.

A more likely situation is that there is some flaw in the coding that is causing this to occur, or that there is some sort of OS/hardware configuration that is posing a problem, or potentially something as simple as using blacklisted ports (btw, I can connect to the login.gamespy.com site because I downloaded COMRADE as I heard that it was a possible solution, it did not work for me).

Anyways, from what I have gathered on this forum as well as the steam forum is that most of the people with this problem are using win 7 x64. While this could be a problem if lets say the dev team had x32 or vista in mind (or xbox or ps3). But all-in-all usability is one of the two major factors that programmers look at when developing, so making sure that the game worked on every OS would have been something that was checked at almost every stage of development.

Next, a good number of people are at a university (which could be where the ports come into play) but this means that those who are not at a university are being restricted by their ISP, which isn't unheard of, but given the sales of the game and the distribution of people it would stand to reason that a lot more people would be having this problem if it was the ports being blacklisted or anything else. Regardless, the second major factor that programmers look at when developing is scalability, or essentially how well will what we make go from our small dev space to full scale use? With something like that you can expect that pretty much every possible configuration was tested to login.

Then next two things are probably the most likely to be the cause because they are the simplest answers to come up with:

An error in coding or handling of events (i.e. creating a socket on one port but looking for a response on a different port because of an overlooked hard coded port value). Ebkac errors are the most common when developing, and especially on a game this large with code that was probably transcribed to and from the consoles, screwing up something and not realizing it even after several people have looked at it is very possible and more than likely expected.

OR

Gamespy's servers being unable to handle the increase in volume of traffic brought about by the game. The game moved a ton of units as well as probably an equal or greater amount of virtual copies (steam, d2d, etc.) and since they require us to login through Gamespy it is possible that Gamespy's servers or connection cannot handle the influx of a couple million players.

And if you combine the two, for instance only needing a login check which doesn't require a continuous connection but because of bad coding the connection never gets closed, then you end up with another situation that is highly plausible.

I know some of you might question the validity of my statements and while this is the internet and I can spout of whatever I want and claim it to be true, I would like to state (not that I am going to prove it) that I am getting a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in May. Tech requires us to have two main focuses for the CS degree (we call them threads, CS/ECE people take a moment to chuckle) and mine are Information Inter-networking and Security (basically how computers talk to each other, how to use it for various purposes, and obviously how to make sure it is secure) and Media (basically HCI kind of stuff, how computers are viewed and interact with people). With these two as my threads I have done a ton of development on small scale projects that have to be completed within 1-3 months with only about 4 people to work with, and believe me the two problems that were consistent through pretty much every project we did were either someone wrote something wrong and no one noticed, or we programmed on this computer and everything worked but once we ported it over to another or to several we began to run into various problems.

Well, there are my two pages worth, feel free to chime in... I mean its not like you can play C2, right?

Sit&cry. You won't be able to play anymore till patch.
If it makes you happy - I got the same issu since the middle of the week. No success so far.

Guys i found a fix install gamespy comrade, run it, let it check for your installed games, reboot your pc and make sure gamespy starts at startup let gamespy run, then WITHOUT CLOSING IT run crysis 2... this works for me perfectly.

didn't work

It worked for a while, now back to check connetion

yeah, the comrade route didn't work for me either

Crytek

2 weeks later you idiots

bump
I have same problem and nothing worked for me ( I can log in to gamespy but i have wifi internet.

The patch notes say that it should fix some log in issues. I hope that includes this one.

Alright, new patch is out! Finally going to play some MP even with all the cheaters... or maybe I am just going to enjoy the check network connectivity screen again... yep, looks just like it did before the patch! welp, back to bc2! that is one good thing about this game having been such a huge failure for me, I reconnected with BC2. So thank you crytek, for reminding me what a good multiplayer fps is like, by not allowing me to play yours. Honestly, I have tried to be curteous, I have tried to be polite (I have 14 posts and 7 are probably BUMPS on this thread, so its pretty easy to check that I have been posting here since early on and that I have been polite), and now I am in the "F*ck it" category. Pre-purchased through steam so no chance of a refund, unable to play MP since its release, and I would have to say that as a fan of Crysis SP, you really let me down here by delivering scaled down maps with textures and graphics that look like they are from 2005... which is probably because the 360 came out in 2005, and you were limited to its hardware capabilities. I really didn't want to jump on the "this is a console port" bandwagon, but with each day being unable to play on PC while I have friends who can play on the console what else am I to think? And I know that you guys made it for the console to get money, I get that, I truly do, but please at least have the decency to acknowledge continuing problems in the PC community that are on this scale of Failure. This thread has 42 pages, has existed since 03/22 and has not been sticky'd yet, wtf? Is that the solution? Ignore those of us who cannot play and maybe we will leave you alone? 42 pages and no comment from Cry- since Cry-Tom on page 4! Do you hate us? Is it because people pirated the first one that you feel like those of us who paid for the game should suffer? Is it because people are pirating this one that you feel like those of us who paid for the game should suffer? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Steam didn't update and I can't log in.

Boo.

Honestly?!? The new patch came out and it didn't even address this issue? This is ridiculous.

For brazilians, use a software called Hotspot Shield, this worked for me ( now having trouble with gamesas account ).

What about this patch? Steam users have download manualy?

Well, I guess this will work for everyone, so, if you're getting this shi t ( network connectivity ), donwload it!
http://www.baixaki.com.br/download/hotspot-shield.htm

But I cannot say this will solve 100% of the problem, cos as I told before, now I passed through the network problem to be caught in a new one, "invalid nickname" or "cannot login with gamesas account", but hey, its a progress...


Jesus... FAILtek, you ruleeee!!!!

The patch is out but fix 4 me nothing....and "network connection" still don't fixed=(((

Earmack, try download Hotspot Shield.

diabreu, trying, result = 0

diabreu, trying, result = 0
Блин, только что скачал ее, хотел проверить, а ты так обломал)

Да эта штука удобна, так сказать бесплатный ВПН но он на порты вообще никак не влияет, попробуй может я чего не так сделал, у меня попрожнему проблема прежняя=(

Still the message? Bizarre... 3 another folks said now they're stucked in accounts issues now.
