    Frustrated with MP servers

    Is it me or eveyone else keep getting stuck in loading screens and host migration screens ? This has been happening for a few weeks now and am slowly getting more and more hacked off with it. Iv searched the forms and support sites and the only info i get is open this port and that port, well iv done all that and its still happening. Any suggestions ???

    Are you sure it's just not people quitting or crashing that you're playing with? The only time I play MP is with people I know in real life, and whenever we run into this it's because someone got booted from their ISP or someone crashed.

    I get it quite a lot, especially host migration to limbo - the p2p system they use just sucks and is unwelcome on the PC platform but they're too arrogant to admit it.

    If it's intermittent it isn't a port/firewall issue, if you cant connect to ANY server EVER then a port/firewall issue is a possibility.

    Good luck with it, but every time you fire up MP and try to join a game your playing Ubisoft's version of russian roulette as to whether it will work or not. If you have some friends with the game try the co-op, thats a good blast and less prone to connection errors in my experience.

    I feel your pain! That is why I mainly play CO-OP!
    P2P Multiplayer is never a good idea for the PC community, but they could make it better just by having a FILTER system for region, map and mode of play!
