I don´t find any automatch / can´t join games
« on: August 19, 2013, 08:53:33 PM »
Title says it.
Version is current, had to update via some chinese file hoster though, because the automatic updater crashes all the time and the linked patches in the sticky are dead.
I guess it were the right patches though, because patching went smooth.

I can see some games (about 3-4 at a time) in the lobby, but when trying to join I always get a timeout. Creating myself a game, nobody joins.

Automatch isn´t finding any games aswell.

So is that a port forwarding thing? I got 6112 open, nothing else. i dont know how much EF differs from the vanilla COH, but related to that, I can play COH online without any problems.


Thanks for the help!

Try to disable your reward units before joining.

Are you using a firewall other than windows' one?

No, and I don´t have such problems in any other online games.

edit: ok now I was able to join a lobby game. Deactivated my whole antivirus prog though. Dunno if it´s related.

edit#2 but it´s only ONE game I can join, weird.

How fast do you find opponents in automatch?

It depends if people play automatch in EF, but I guess they seldom play it...
