Joining games - How often do you make it in? - Page 2

Shadow-Ryu · 04-03-2004, 05:49 PM

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.

m0u5y · 04-05-2004, 09:35 AM

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

(~BLADE~) · 04-07-2004, 04:38 AM

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

SSJKarma · 04-15-2004, 02:26 PM

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 · 04-15-2004, 02:35 PM

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...

10%	2	8.33%
25%	4	16.67%
40%	5	20.83%
50%	3	12.50%
75%	10	41.67%
