Only two games at once?

from Sins Forums

Im going to start off by saying that i am pretty bad when it comes down to some of the computer stuff (mainly anything that has to do with connection)

I just tried going online for the first time, and i noticed that there were only two mathes up?? I checked back again later and there were once again only 2 matches. I know there are probly more matches than that and i would very much like to atleast try and play them.

Now to why i pointed out im bad with connection. I read The monk's post about connection and started thinking that that may be my problem. Now another problem would be i have no earthly idea how to change any of that. Any help watsoever would be greatly appriected   :)

At various times of the day or night there will be more or less players online (in ICO).

1. Once a game is started, it and the players in it are removed from the list in ICO (this was added in a patch as leaving the games listed and the players shown in ICO was too confusiong for new players)

2. If people have configured their networks properly then when they host a game, people will be able to join. As of right now there are two types of people who can't host games. Those who can't follow my instructions (because they're at a university dorm etc.) or won't follow them (because they refuse to invest some time/effort in understanding the steps :) )

3. Patch 1.1 will introduce new optional netcode that will enable everyone to be able to host without the need to configure their networks/routers. This patch is however an undetermined length of time away, with the beta for this patch beginning soon.

4. In the meantime, if you haven't found it already.....please download/read and follow the steps in my SINS-specific networking guide (Networking and SINS) which can be found linked-to from under the GREEN writing in the OP of this thread.

If you have issues following the steps in my guide I'll be glad to take you through the steps via my TeamSpeak server (provided you've already downloaded and at least attempted to follow the guide on your own :) I'm not here to read the guide to anyone like a bedtime story....hehe).

thanks,

the Monk
