Hello! I confirm the above situation. During the game in free mode does not appear any player, also there is no visibility of other players and the visibility of online friends in particular. The connection ports are open green. I hope that technical support will solve this problem as soon as possible.
Best regards, thank you.
There is no error code. You go in the game and there are no players online . If you drive around long enough you may get invited to a transport if youre a cop but as soon as the transport is done everyone involved disappears . Then youre left alone again to drive around . lately ive driven around for 2 hours without seeing one player online. I did everything ubisoft asked me to do knowing it isn't my computer . dxdiag, msinfo, checked my ports. everything. I have a ticket on this but haven't heard anything from ubisoft in 5 days . There is a thread on this in steam . Time to find a solution.
So i've played with friends for a few hours (mostly doing faction and freedrive stuff)
The freedrive, it mostly stayed stable with a crew but when you're solo the session would die out and sync up again once you've teleported a bit through a map (aka causing the map to load up again)
Especially with friends. I've caught them doing a freedrive challenge (not yet being in a crew) it synced up instantly, after couple of min the cars ghosted out in a manner of lost connection and then i ended up alone again. Teleported to them again and it instantly synced up. I did restart my router and cleaned up the dns cache beforehand, so yeh it works but not as stable as i would have hoped.
Another issue we encountered that after every 2nd completed faction mission, trying to begin a 3rd one would cause an infinite black loading screen on whole group, forcing us to kill the game and launch it again.
