Multiplayer connection test failed? - Page 2

So the 2 player only Host problem is related to the problems everyone else is having? If they fix that I will buy it, if they don't I wont.

god i fucking hate games nowadays theres allways problems , and now quakes out and theres a problem a big 1 . 1200 msp wasted

KiddingPigeon · 12-16-2010, 03:21 PM

I think you must need an internet speed of at least 8mb, I tryed this again today on my wireless which has been checked and is 7.76mb and I cannot play online, keep getting error messages (for quake OBV), however when I reconnect the wired internet (10.21mb) it works fine (well I can only host for myself and one other person!

)
So it may just be internet speeds? high request to make sure this game does not lag?

I did the test network, all fine but where do you find the More information for the NAT Settings?

toonski · 12-17-2010, 09:49 AM

dirge · 12-17-2010, 10:53 PM

Just mailed 'em with my info too, fingers crossed for a quick fix!

Destro · 12-18-2010, 03:00 AM

sure this is lag issues, but its more about host advantage than real connection problem, its crap buts its that

YeaItsWoodyBaby · 12-18-2010, 05:22 PM

Don't suppose the multiplayer problems for this game have been corrected yet have they? Early days still I know but I really don't feel like taking a gamble on buying a 1200MSP game that may not even find online matches.

Such a shame, I loved Quake back in its day but it seems this is more trouble than it's worth.

Alpha Till · 12-18-2010, 09:02 PM

Hi guys. I am from germany and I have the same problem but at least i can offer a solution to the 2 player lobby problem. You can easily get past the 2 player limit when you first set up a system link game and put the number of fighters to the maximum (or what you wish). Then return and choose ranked or what you like and don't change the option. This way I hosted a couple of games today with up to 9 players and since they didn't quit i suppose the connection was ok. when i played with people from germany and asked them about the connection they didn't mention too big lags aswell.

mickspawn · 12-19-2010, 09:22 AM

i can use live fine, only thing when i host it sais i can only have 2 people.. my NAT is fine. ideas on that one?

as i said before, change the player option in a system link game first and then it carries over to live games aswell. just don't change the option when hosting a live game.

Hmm i'm with virgin too, it's been doing it on and off. Mostly not working though =(

Anybody know if a fix will happen, q3 is all time favourite and quite disappointed right now

Brengun · 01-11-2011, 10:06 AM

still can't get a game online, and my connection is fine...anyone know if there is going to be some sort of fix? I'm assuming this is a UK/Europe problem?

They are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. Apparently it's to do with a system check it performs before going into the multiplayer and some ISP's try block this check thinking it's something dodgy.

ahhh...thanks for that. I was beginning to think it wasn't being looked at, good to know they are on it.

UKRDreamcastUK · 04-08-2011, 08:06 AM

I have been having the same problem , can't even play online so cant get any achievements for online so basiclly I paid for a single play game which its all about the online side of it ... great may have to see if tunneling sites work via system link to try and play it with others.

my bro is on SKY and can only host 2v2 matches but can join full rooms and play but I am on VIRGIN media and can't do jack!
