With all do respect Crytek - DLC is fail for server owners!

Post » Thu Jun 02, 2011 11:40 pm

Please tell me there's a fix for this (and please no noob answers like ... don't buy it ... etc.) ...

I installed DLC on one of my servers and started the server up. Very quickly it was filled up .... until a DLC map came up ... BAAANNNGG ... all except one got kicked and the server was empty right away.

Please tell me there's a fix, so I can tell the server to only allow DLC users? Else it will be emptied all the time - this is really epic fail Crytek.

Gameservers.com ... yeah but what if you mix them with standard (old) maps (to get all maps possible), then people without DLC willl join on an "old" map and when a new map is up, they will be kicked.

So I can't mix old and new maps :(

If I put old and new maps in the rotation, then the server should not be listed on a player without DLC.

True, if you mix, player without DLC map will be kick when DLC map load.
It depand of your team, if like mine, you re 8 or more with the DLC, you set it, and just play...

This is why fragmenting an already small community with a paid dlc map pack (with 4 pathethic maps) is retarded. It will server to do only one thing. That is to fragment the community even more. This map pack should be free and they should promote the game with a nice weekend sale to get more people playing. Then the next MP bring out at least 8 maps and then charge 10 dollars. Don't try to be like COD and get retarded money for 4 maps every 2 months because you aren't COD. You do not have anything close to the playerbase they have and you can't get away with the same **** tactics. Who does the marketing for EA, morons.

Yeah, but I couldn't find my post, so I thought I forgot to hit "submit". Didn't mean to crosspost.

well m8... i don't think that anything is broken here... its just that lots of em didnt have DLC and therefore got kicked out. The thing is they shouldn't have releaced DLC this soon NOT because this game is broken( which is NOT!) or because crytek/ea wants money but because this community is quite small for a DLC yet... they should have let it grow and then put a DLC where more players would have bought it and more of u would have been enjoying DLC only maps now :P

Game should automatically filter out servers with DLC maps for players without DLC but I guess Crytek didn't give it enough time to consider that.

Bought DLC on the day it came out and I still have been unable to play a single game on the new maps. Great...
