Joining games - How often do you make it in?

[Angel-Eyes]

whenever i click to join a game, only like 10-15% of the time i auctually make it into the game.

mostly cause they've started and the room is still in the list.


just wondering if im the only one with this problem

[vx_unicom]

I would say 40%.. ???

[spiderdimond]

maybe I should of press 50%
:p

[Evil-Blanka]

I would say 40%.. ???
i would say like about 10 cuz i can join like every game

[marvel911]

I dunno..I'd say 50%-75%. I dont often join games..I just do the quick challenge.

[Angel-Eyes]

i cant host so i like always join

[Misfit]

Well when i try to join random games im almost allways greated with the "Game has already started" message. I mostly stick to challenges tho :)

[EvilAkuma]

I join all the time, so the only time i can't join is when they kick me or when my phoneline is mess up

[Danny2003]

your right when joining a game it says," its been closed or it won't let you go in."

[Bob~Marley4004]

im with marve| !
im usually not that good when i join other ppl games :biggrin:

[Shadow-Ryu]

it may happen because of lag it may happen because of closed server or it may happen because of a ending game.

One reason players may not be able to join another players hosted game is because....

the host isnt patient enough to wait for a player to join..so he quits and goes back into the main chat...usualy then spams,
"Hosting, hosting, hosting...join .join join!"
They then leave to create another game....not knowing or checking to see if their previous game was deleted from the list of hosted games...and usualy it's not.

So this leaves a "ghost" of his previous hosted game..wich of course you cant join because the chat has already been closed. The server just hasnt realized it yet and refreshed it's list of hosted games...and basicaly your trying to connect to nothing.

And of course the biggest problem..routers and firewalls..both of wich can/will make it so you cant host/join games...disabling/reconfiguring them, and their subcomponents will 9 times outa 10 fix any hosting/connecting problems you may encounter.

I'll say bout 50-75% because sometimes they lock it or start it. Kester have I fought you because mostly everyone can join my game.

[(ShinKu_Ryu)]

for me it only works like 40%.......to much lag i think

[m0u5y]

it happened only like twice that i wanst able to join and thats cuz my brother had the firewall up on his pc.

[(~BLADE~)]

yeh it happens to me about 50% of the time so i mostly host my own game

[SSJKarma]

i usually host the games, but i sometimes join in for a few fights, i'm 99% able to join in games, unless the other players locked it or close it too damn fast !

otherwise i can do both at a rate of almost 100%

[Master_Jay]

When I used to join peoples games, most of the time I am able to get in. Unless they already started/ended the game before I attempted to join...

[psy-co]

I get in about 40% of the time because its full up, its really annoying, they should take them of the selection thingy after the game has started

[Jin3232]

I almost always get in. what i do is wait untill say: join my game/hosting, then i join when they're name pops up on the list. I always get in then.

[Hollis]

i get in about 50% of the time... :biggrin:

[RyusRevenge]

ya i think 50 percent of the time sounds right, thats talking about first time round, but than i go back to chat and try to join again, and i manage to get in the second time (maybe 90 percent of the time).

[(DJ-Eric)]

75% for me :biggrin:
