Multiplayer - Info on Connection Problems

Hi there mates!

There is some new information regarding the multiplayer problems, posted by Crytek’s Community Manager Alex Werner.

Greetings Community!


We just would like to let you know that we are aware of the currently occurring issues regarding playing Crysis Multiplayer online. We are already in touch with Gamespy, EA and the world-wide server provider to resolve the problems. This topic has the highest priority for us now and we hope to come up with a solution as quickly as possible.


What we figured out so far already is that when you uninstall the MP Beta/SP Demo after you have installed the full version of Crysis your CD-Key might get removed accidentally. If this is the case please have a look at the workaround we provide further below. There is no guarantee that these work, but they have been helpful to many out there already.

> Mainly all he suggested is already tested with negative result. One solution is not tested though :


Add CD-Key manually to Registry


1. Windows XP: Start -> Run
2. Windows Vista: Start -> All Programs -> Accessoires -> run
3. Type in "regedit" (without "") and press Enter
4. Windows 32-Bit: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Crysis\ergc
5. Windows 64-Bit: Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic
Arts\Electronic Arts\Crysis\ergc
6. Check if your CD-Key is available as value in the right window. If not
double-click on "(Default)" and type in the key without "-" and in capital letters.


TESTED : MY KEY IS THERE. NO CURE THEN :(

Hi!

I can finally play online now!
All i had to do was to remove all virtual drives (Daemon tools & Alcohol 120%) from my computer.
I dont know how this works - but it works!
Try it out.

BTW: THX for this blog, it was very helpfull.

Forget what i wrote before!
It works, but had nothing to do with the virtual drives.
It seems tha EA had made some hidden changes or so?

Hi All,

After receiving only a form letter from the assholes at EA, I found a solution (for me) on the web.

By the way, I got so pissed that I've just finished seeding my copy on utorrent - so go grab it there and save yourself 40 bucks.

If you bought the game using EADM, this worked for me:
1. Go to C:\programdata\Electronic Arts\EADM\cache\{[some number - differs for each install]}

2. Execute crysis_code.exe

I couldn't believe this did it, but it works.

Good luck everyone...!
