Nobody on multiplayer?

Post by Avire »

Hi, i'm new here and i was wondering how come there are always no games in the lobby? I mean, warzone is pretty popular from what i heard but how come i have never a multiplayer game in the lobby? Is something wrong with my computer or router, or does no one ever play online?

yes, joining the IRC channel would be the easiest way to find a game, we organise games occasionally.

It'd probably be easier to use one of the other methods (Xfire, Hamachi) - IRC really isn't that useful - it's basically just a chat room.

Well, at least in IRC, you can sit around waiting for other people.
And while your waiting, you can chat.
Then after waiting 24 hours, I am sure you will find at least 1 person that wants to play.

Also note, that make SURE you have all the correct ports open, or the lobby server can't 'see' you, and you can't 'see' the lobby server.
and it ends here.

Well, you don't need to wait 24 hours. When I'm on, it's usually not too hard to find someone who wants to play. I get roped into games pretty quickly in some hours.

Actually, you can still see the lobby server, it just wouldn't be able to see you.

i.e. Without open ports, you can't host games on the lobby, but you can still join games in the lobby.
