Why are these servers so crappy? : Crysis

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 1:47 pm

I'm just wondering if it's just me but most of the games I get into everyone has yellow or red bars and only 2-3 people have green bar connections? It's not my connection so don't even go down that road. On CoD:BO I dont have trouble connecting to people or games and most of the times I am host because of my good connection.

I hate to compare games but the truth is I can't play any game sonline without it disconnecting me and my friends.

It is the netcode of the game, it can barely function with a P2P infrastructure. Dedicated Servers were definately needed.

Thanks for the info, that's really sad. This game had so much potential. Oh well at least I still have the single player to enjoy.

Do you think the devs would ever be able to update it and fix the issues?

Eventually, if they don't give up on the game.. Personally I only have this game for the campaign, and I don't suffer too bad from the "grain" glitch because I have a 480p TV, soon to be upgraded...

Idk what the grain glitch is. I'm playing on a 23" monitor 1080p does it only happen on standard definition Tv's?

I dont know much about the game as I just got it a few days ago but Im loving it all except the online bugs

Assuming because Crytek UK (FAIL CRYTEK FAIL ON LETTING THE BRITISH MAKE THE ONLINE) deveoped the online and since I assume Crytek is in Germany that the servers would be European and hence why EVERYONE's connections are **** when playing online.

There aren't any servers. It is Peer 2 Peer (P2P). Therefore the person who is host, is literally hosting the match, which works fine on games with decent netcoding (COD, Halo and others), but not on this game. Just remember Crytek UK (Formerly 'Free Radical') did the MP content in 2 years with 50 staff members. That isn't just ambitious, it is down-right retarded.
