Is anyone playing?

Post » Thu May 19, 2011 8:09 am

Hey, so every time select quick match, there isn't anyone to play against or with? What the hell is going on?
Since, i've had the game I have yet to be able to have a single game. Is it something I am doing wrong or isn't anyone playing?
Oh, I dont have the DLC.

Thanks

I don't have the DLC and I played a couple of full matches earlier.

I do have the DLC, but even in the regular playlists I have no problem finding games.
Note: I play primarily IA and TIA, so I can't speak for the objective playlists.

Regards.

Your location may be the problem. You probably need to change your regional settings on your xbox. Cry-Adam has mention this before.

Your location may be the problem. You probably need to change your regional settings on your xbox. Cry-Adam has mention this before.

I think your issue is likely related to this. A couple of things that may help:

First, check your Region Filter on your Dashboard. Make sure it is correctly set to South Africa, then try loading up a game.

If you cannot still find a game, check other network settings, such as ensuring you have an Open NAT, as that is the most common issue that people can face when trying to find MP matches on peer 2 peer hosting games.

Finally, if all looks good and you cannot still find a game, I actually recommend you try changing your region settings to somewhere a bit more populated. Crysis 2 isn't the most popular game, and there simply may not be enough people in South Africa playing Crysis 2 to fill up a whole lobby. The stricter region filter that has recently been applied via hotfixes has been to alleviate connection issues, but has had a side-effect of only allowing you to join a lobby in your region. Thus, if it searches and cannot find one, well, you won't find a game. Try to pick somewhere that's not across an ocean (I would recommend somewhere in Europe in your case) and see if that helps. Note you might end up with worse connections this way, but it may be worth a try to get in to a lobby to start with.

Hey there.

Thanks for the reply. I will make the changes when I get home tonight and see if it makes a difference at all.

THanks for the quick feed back.
