    So, is multiplayer working or not?

    Hello all,

    I've read around the forum about some people reporting lag issues and some theories about the multiplayer being peer to peer and other stuff. Some others just say the game is not working at all on multiplayer. For me it just acts like I am on separate universe from the others reported "400~" players.

    If I start a lobby it just sits there waiting for COOP players for ever.
    If I try to connect to other multiplayer game modes (quickmatch, playlists) it says it's measuring some performance for lobbies and gets to the same one man lobby waiting for other players and no one ever joins.

    I believe something is wrong with online connectivity also because all single player challenges top scorers are [UBI] folks that looks like placeholders. I am thinking it's from my firewall or something but it doesn't make much sense, I've tried it on different internet connections with the same outcome. Anyone else having this problem or suggestions to fix it?

    Thanks

    Unless you have premade team or many friends who you can invite and play with on Co-op/Custom you won't get into game any of those games by just waiting for people to join. Right now if you wan't play any MP at all you need to choose "Playlist" and join any of game types where is most people playing. I think right now most people play "Battle Mix" because it isn't so boring as playing TDM or DOM 24/7 with this crappy P2P hosting BS ;/

    Well I have some good news, or bad, depends on the situation.

    I've enabled DMZ on my machine at home and suddenly mulyiplayer is alive, I see both coop matches and the other game modes. It's quite sad it's not working trough normal NAT but with the public ip address I actually managed to play and I didn't get any kind of issues.

    I have the same Problem. I can't play COOP or multiplayer because Far Cry 3 doesn't connect. I'm alone in the lobby and wait for other players.
    I can accept an invitation from my friends though.

    Please help me.

    My game is up to date (Patck 1.04).
    OS: Windows 7 x64
    Windows Firewall
    Game Language: Englisch
    Uplay Language: German

    I've solved the problem:

    I've installed hamatchi and that was the problem. To solve it, i didn't install it though. I went to Networkcenter -> Adapter Settings and Presst ALT in order to access Extras -> Advanced -> Advanced Settings via the menu. A new window should pop up. In Connections you should put your the network device, which connects your PC with your network, on the first place.
