Anton, there are some SERIOUS multiplayer issues...

[stryker333]

Go Anton. I think that TC may be having some rare things. So far I havent experienced 1,2,3, havent seen anyone low enough to do 4, and I've been finding games fine. On PS3. Thanks a bunch for fixin the crashes in the near future anton.

So am I not the only one who can't join a multiplayer game? I've done a third of the single player missions and thought I'd go online. It found some matches but then said "game no longer exists". This was the same for quick and custom options

played one match yesterday, only found an arcade one, and it was terrible... I stuck to some guy's six for like 3 minutes, got at least 20 hits on him. he was pouring smoke but did not die, and out of nowhere some dude gets on my six, fires 4 rounds, and I'm dead... WTF?!

[spitfire]

At least you got a game the PSN server wouldn't connect me. Maybe it was due to ballistics, he had the superior weaponage?!

[nudger1964]

well i hope the fix comes quick....it really is getting anoying. id like to see the time between a hit and someone crashing raised way up to like 5 minutes. id also like to see the resprawn after crash not give them such an advantage.... and be further from the action,, so those that havnt crashed arnt at such a huge disadvantage. and one more thing...head on crashes....i lost a match yesterday cos i had two, and both times a kill was awarded to the other guy....aggghhh

Yeah he was probably the host. Ive noticed the host has a big advantage. I think the netcode isn't the greatest. Also, Why arn't there any ping bars?

I think I played against you yesterday in Browntrout's server. Did you get lag in that game ? 'cos it was fine for me and I'm in the UK and Browntrout is in
North America.

I agree about the ping bars though. Anton even told us to pick servers with a low ping to avoid latency, but how are we meant to tell what our connection is like with out them.

And yes I've noticed in arcade mode anyway that the host has a big advantage, it's nowhere near as bad in realistic though because of the reduced damage model.

3) If you simply hit someone, doesn't mean that they die immediately. Considering that you have prooved lag, probably not all of your bullets really find a target.
4) That will be addressed in a neares update. Although it is more complicated that it seems to be, but it will be addressed somehow. Details soon.
5) It is called NAT configuration, I assume. Network configurations can be very sophisticated, and not all of the sessions can be joined. Try to select another game. Or there are simply no MP games available.

Anton,

1 point is true. Experienced this one on several occasions. Probably due to the fact that you respawn on or close to another unfortunate armchair pilot.

Aye it's happened to me and on screen it said that me and another team mate had crashed at the same time.

Yup, It has happened to me on a number of occasions, including my first ever death and respawn playing multiplayer. In dogfight It seems like Everybody is using the same spawn point, aswell as the spawn deaths it causes games turning into 1 furball around the spawn point of a giant unused map. The game really needs more random spawn points covering the whole map.
