I bought Far Cry 3 through steam yesterday, and my friend and I are having trouble joining each others private co-op match. If we join one anothers, it says joining match, and about 20 seconds later it says failed to join match. We have yet to accomplish joining one anothers match. Is there a solution to this issue or even a work around? Some info would great! Thanks
I've searched here long and hard but turned up no answers.
Setting up my own lobby either public or private I could never get anyone to join. Likewise any time I've tried to join friends via Uplay I only got an unable to connect message - nothing helpful as to why.
Tbh mate multiplayer is a real mess right now and it seems the developers have had enough of the criticism as we are like mushrooms kept in the dark and fed...
A shame as both Co-op and deathmatch are a real good blast once in the blue moon it works alright for you.
I have uPnP on and NAT open otherwise i haven't opened any ports and it works great in co-op. We have played through all the missions without any connection problems. I have been the host every time and we have been 2-4 players.
Are you sure you have NAT open and uPnP activated, i know a lot of people deactivated uPnP in windows for BF3 i never had to do that either.
Although we have only played private co-op so i have never tried public.
I don't have the best internet speed either i only have 10Mbit/s up but it seems to work fine.
