Automatch slow?

[Dragonie]

Automatch for me takes about 7 to 10 minutes to find a game. I know it's not a lack of people, as I am playing when there's >200 people in the main channel, and people keep connecting, but a game does not start. Last game it took as long as 18 minutes to finally connect to someone. I am just learning to play online so my games don't take too long and I'm trying to play a lot to learn, and it's not going too fast. Is this normal? I am on a cable connection, pushing ~5Mbps, so my connection is not the problem.

have you done the port/nat test if it says nat deteced your in for a world of waiting


have you noticed if its works when you host an auto

i find i cant host automatch but i can connect to some automatches sometimes

my best friend is ctrl-shift-~ then i can see if it is working or not, push it after you have started looking for a automatch

so its basicly start automatch cancel if your the host restart, cancel if your joining a game and it hasnt transfered your badges and banners connected to host etc with 10-20seconds

youl get the drift after locking at the script for awhile

Thanks, you were right, my ports WERE locked, but NAT enabled. Hopefully this will bring some improvement.
Thanks for the advice!
