Unable to play multiplayer, please help!

Post » Thu Jan 29, 2009 8:39 am

I tried searching around the forum, but haven't noticed anyone experiencing terrible MP problems like I have.
When the demo was out, I could play just fine. On Tuesday I picked up my limited edition copy, and haven't been able to play multiplayer since then. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game in the hopes of fixing it.
Basically, here is my problem:
I can search, and subsequently join multiplayer matches (and I know my internet/ps3 connection is fully functional, as I can play any other online mp game with no problems). As soon as I join a match (no matter what game type) I'll get the spawn countdown. Whenever it hits zero and they say they're spawn speech, nothing happens, no one spawns. This is always followed by a host migration, in which I do eventually spawn, but spawn completely below the map.
There's been a few cases where I'm actually able to spawn normally, but no one else is able to spawn, and eventually everyone (but me) gets kicked out, usually ending in a "draw."
I've even managed to spawn in an ongoing game (though it's only happened a handful of times) and as soon as I spawn, I hear a lot of "what the ****?!" because everyones screen freezes, and they all get kicked out, leaving me, once again, all to my lonesome. I tried contacting CryTek/EA through this site, but have yet to hear a response, so hopefully someone will be able to help me out. I've gone directly from my modem to my ps3, from my router to my ps3, and even completely wirelessly, and always have the same problems.

You may have a bad line from the pole to the house or going in to the house. I've had minor connection problems but they go away quickly.

Ping is fairly good (I think), it's usually ~30. And upload/download speed is good too (around 5 Mbps or upload, and I pulled 48mbps download off of my ISPs website)

Unfortunately none of my other ps3 friends have crysis 2 haha.
Someone should add me and I'll see if that helps later. My psn is RouletteZoku
When the demo was out though, I could play just fine, and my roomie could never connect. Even after joining squads one of the two of us would always get kicked out.
I just want EA to see this or contact me, so I can get this all figured out. I was super stoked for this game when the demo was playable, and now I'm beyond disappointed that I can't play online (which is the main reason I purchased the game).

Alright so, now I'm even more confused!
For sure my connection/everything is in working order.
I logged on my girlfriends account, just to see if there was any difference, and what do you know! I can play multiplayer perfectly fine on her account.
So why am I able to join but not play matches with my actual account? This is ridiculous.

Very wierd, I'd just make a new account and contact EA or whoever to see if you can get your LE benefits for that account.

I've tried contacting them several times, but to no avail. I guess now that I know it must have something to do with my username it'll be easier to get an answer, though.
And now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if there's some chance that it has something to do with my LE benefits. I never received any errors when downloading the content, though. Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall LE benefits?
Whenever I logged on to my girlfriends account, of course, I was just a level 1 and it worked fine.
After successfully playing several matches on her account, I switched back to mine to see if some miracle had happened and everyone would work, but it was still all the same problems.
