Guys I've been looking through servers all night going in and out, in and out. NONE of these servers will start the game. Maybe 2 out of the 10 I've tried so far have worked... It's really sad that crysis would should consolize the game like this. PC gamers are the true fans here. We pay the most in the end.. And for what? The most epic chat room servers on the planet...

I need a good, reliable server.

Its just the ranked ones btw

I am having the same issue. I hope they fix this pronto!

yeah i think everyone is having problems with ranked and maybe some aimbot as well :[

same thing can't access a single game, ranked or not

How come I knew this was going to happen yet I still bought this POS software? S-T-U-P-I-D The amount of trouble with this game/software is really quite dissapointing and getting to a point of seriously tarnishing Crytek's name.

I'm having the same problem. Whenever I find a ranked server the countdown for the game either wont start, or it will get stuck at 1 second remaining. I must say that I'm very disappointed that the PC servers are being ignored in favor of consoles. We bought the game, so we should actually be able to use all of its functions! I can understand some bugs with it being only a couple days after launch, but to have multiplayer servers that don't work for one of the platforms is severely disappointing.

I remember when the pc gamers where taken care of back in the day. Mohaa, Cod1 and when newer versions came out. the developers made sure our servers worked. I hate to say it crytek I wanted you to be the starting of the new beginning for pc gamers, but now I guess we have to wait for DICE to come save us.
Crytek if you are reading this. As a business major in college, I understand that you have an obligation to create a game that has the most profit to your company and the shareholders. However, you are forgetting that us, the pc gamers, are the most hardcoe out of all of the gamers out there. Even DICE admitted this. I am disappointed that the pc gaming community has yet again been forgotten by the industry.
It is most entertaining that you treat us, the costumer, who has bought the game at full price, an experience that not only is sub par to what we have payed for, inadvanced (I might add), but also a seemingly sluggish response to our problems.
If any admin in this forum would love to reply this, I would be delighted.
sincerely,
an angry college student who needs this game to blow off some steam.

The funny part is is that this game doesn't work for the console guys either. They're having massive disconnect problems and apparently the xbox guys are having framerate issue. This game is just a broken, buggy, half-baked mess.

Actually the reason that the servers will not start is because whoever is running the server doesnt know what they are doing. There is some variables that need to be set in the config file for the server to NOT hang up in the lobby. If you want to play a server that does not have the issue, visit http://www.bhslaughter.com or in game look for BHSlaughter.com in the server listing.

Its a simple fix, and if you run a server you can PM me for the solution.

I agree with you guys there are other issues. However, we have prepaid for the service and have been let down by the gaming industry. This is not the first time either. I am thinking about contacting a consumer watch group because this is ridiculous and unethical. They should have work this out before it got released

The problem with the ranked server is that when its counting down for the match and someone leaves the room, it messes up the server and it will stuck at 1 sec countdown and will not start the game , none of the official EA servers are working, the ones that are working are non EA ranked . but still messed up if someone leaves during countdown. and WHY THE HELL WE CANNOT JOIN A RANKED MATCH IN THE MIDDLE??? AND GOTTA WAIT???? STUPID CONSOLE ****!

This is incorrect, come and try that on my server and I bet it doesnt work!
