Multiplayer Problems
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2016 8:33 pm
This is a great game both EL and EM and its a shame nobody plays it. Every server i have tried has connection problems, (and i can stay connected to a Q2 server for literally hours at a time and have no problems with streaming) and there is never anyone on them.
So far i have run into one person, a steam user who didnt read the instructions apparently, because he didnt know he could modify his ship or that it needed to be refueled. He was over the moon about steam tho so maybe he just suffered from all around poor judgement and attention
So whats up here? Why no one on the servers and why the chronic connection problems? I do have a slow net connection by most standards, but its a rock steady 5.4mb and i have no trouble staying connected to other servers.
I might think that the game itself was over most peoples heads or not to the general taste, but i can recall playing freespace2 when it was hard to find a slot to play on a server and this game is on a par or maybe even superior to freespace2 in some respects.
