Dunno if this has been posted already...probably has, don't care... Anyone having trouble getting into a multiplayer session? I mean I get into the room with a bunch of players but we just sit there in "Chat" watching the clock tic away... Then the clock resets... And tics some more... Game never starts... Wha happn'?

This problem has plagued this game. The servers crash and don't restart.
Seems like i get into 1 game in 10 that actually starts. The beta-Pirate servers use a Bat file to auto-restart, seems like a regular restart on the hour script would help get some games going till they fix it properly.

The problem is that there are *some* servers that do not work and many that work. the reason for *always* joining the not-working servers is that the working ones are FULL or EMPTY, and the not working ones are hard fluctuating. Almost everyone will join a nonworking server, because they have free slots.

and here is how to solve this:

when on a non-working server lobby chat with the players also stuck there and add them as friends. then ask them to follow you. you leave the non-working lobby and join a empty ranked server with good ping. if 2 or 3 ppl follow you, you will have a ranked match in 1 to 5 minutes. after you have 4 ppl on your server, it will nearly-instant be full because others looking for a working game are joining, because there are already 4 ppl . i did that 2 times and it ALWAYS worked great!

ps: you may also add me: rawsome23, so i can invite you if you are online and stuck next time

That sounds awesome if you want to spend a decent 30 minutes getting into a game. And no, not all empty servers are working servers...

well, i have already spend 20 minutes joining and leaving servers to finialy find one that works. the method above takes 10 minutes (4 min adding friends and chatting, 2 min joining empty server, 4 min till its full) and did work well so far. but it may be true that not all empty servers are working, thats what the "favorites" function is for

i agree

Thanks for the replies fellas. I'm headed in for "Maximum Game!"
