Game literally unplayable | Forums

Now I want to say the time I spent in the open beta while it worked was amazing, and I was convinced I was buying it asap. I'd missed the closed beta and was so keen to spend as much time in it as possible this time around. HOWEVER after about 5 hours, every. single. game. drops me out. I can duel against AI, and that is it. If I read the words "Connection Error" one more time I will lose my ****ing mind. Figures with a P2P system and not servers I guess.

100% agree

P2P wont work anymore its a dead system all games that use it plan to fail

[tuffy1973]

exactly! god I was so ready to buy the game and I definitely won't be now if its this broken 3 days before the damned release date...

Don't know if it means anything, but I'm not having any internet troubles. So it may be you, not the game.

yea idk man my net is working perfectly tho. someone told me there's a patch coming, hopefully that'll sort it for the rest of the beta. but I'm probably gonna wait a while to buy the game tbh, let them actually fix everything and be stable for a while

It's not your internet. I have tried for the last 36hr's to play dominion or deathmatch and i've been able to do so a handful of times. And that's not mentioning being disconnected from those matches due to drop outs. I didn't have an issue as bad as this, in the closed beta. It seems like I might have to do the same thing, and wait to purchase the game. Pre-ordered gold edition, but the P2P issues are completely systemic.

There are many factors here not being even mentioned.

What is your NAT setting?
Do you just play, or have other things open?


they tweaked the Ping kick system to prevent more abuse, of course it can never be perfected as it has no host server, but you may be getting hit with "splash damage" so to speak from the tweaks. (EG, your not actually doing anything wrong but the tweak thinks your lag switching)

To make sure it's not "YOU" work on your end what you can do.
Change all graphics to low and then shadows to off. I know, it doesn't look as nice - but were testing, that's the point. (eliminating hardware lag is the key here, even if it's minor)
Check your NAT - it's colored. If Green, your fine on it, if Yellow you are so-so, and if RED you need to work on it.

Nat can be "opened up" by router controls, talking to your ISP and more, so that is too broad to help with, if your NAT Is red (or even sometimes yellow) you have work to do. (which will benefit all online gaming, not just this one)

If by chance your playing on Low(est) settings (Overall Low with No shadows instead of low shadows), AND your NAT is Green - then the issue may lie within the game/client and not you.

As always test with NO OTHER APPS open, this includes Discord, Team Speak, a Chrome window, anything else honestly. Shut em all down. (During the CB I had to shut down discord to play without lag)

yea well my nat is green, always has been and I'm on ps4 so gonna go out on a limb and say its not my graphics or background apps
ubisoft apparently patched the servers a little while ago and I am yet to see if it fixed my issue, but I assure u its not an issue on my end

My nat is green and my setting at mid cause even though i have a rather decent pc it seems to still run bad on 970gtx so i lowered it to mid. I was still droping from games a bit and got things like matches filled can't connect etc so it's not a nat or gear issue it's their networking.
