How to set up Multiplayer?

[Krauter]

Hi there,

I know for MP that I need to open up ports, etc. But how do I do this?

I'm not really computer savvy so if someone could explain step by step how to find, open and all that stuff for ports so I can play Multiplayer?

Are you trying to host a game or just join someone elses?

[Krauter]

I can host, but whenever I try to Join, there are no games TO join. The list is always empty, no matter how many times I click refresh

So you have had others join your game?

You may be able to open a lobby but if your being a router/firewall and your ports are not configured properly they will not be able to join - the server will show 999 latency when this is the case....

If there are no rooms showing that means there is nobody with an open lobby to join. That doesn't mean there is not games in progress.

The Ubi server only shows which lobbies on other computers are open. Once you load a game up and playing with your friends you are 100% off the Ubi network and you are being served by the host.

This is why no one ever sees games in progress.

The trick to playing MP is to make a few friends or join a site that "tries" to organize games.

Feel free to add me up on skype, I play MP exclusively (that goes for everyone looking to play some MP).

No I have not had anyone join either

OK sounds good.. when does the MP community usually play?

I'll play right now if you like.

As for when the MP community plays, well I guess that depends on which one your talking about. I can speak for my Wolfpack only, we play whenever we can ;] Mostly weekends though. Its just me tonight, the dog, no gf and a bottle of Jaggy so I am down for a game for sure ;]
