Tested with another network - Failure!

Ok!

Now i am pretty sure that the server authentication failure - issue is caused by other matters. And by this i mean the problem can be targeted to EA / Gamespy.

As i promised i tested Crysis in my home, where i am connected to different kind of network than i normally do. This network is connected straight to internet so i am not affected by hardware firewall / nat. Test result is still the same. Failure still exists.

I even created a new gamespy account to be sure that i build everything piece by piece.

This is what i did today :

  1. Uninstalled the game and removed every tiny pieces from registry.
  2. Booted the computer to make sure registry is optimized.
  3. Re-installed the game.
  4. Checked the software firewall and setup the right udp / tcp ports for the game.
  5. Created a new GameSpy - account.
  6. Updated the Punkbuster
Test result > Server Authentication Failed!

After this i did these moves :

  1. Closed the software firewall
  2. Used the crysis_code .exe located in DVD.
Test result > Server Authentication Failed!

Ok, folks. I am pretty sure i have done everything to solve this problem. Now i am crossing my fingers that the first patch will include the cure for this issue. I am very frustrated about this situation.

Money talks, as some wise has said. Ea wanted to rush with this release and this is the result. Hopefully someday (which i doubt), they will do their job before the actual release day.

My testing is now over. But be active and let me know if u have other ideas to get this game to work.

Take care.

This auth error is not from your computer/game but from EA network: only MP beta keys seems to be working!

Yep.

It really seems that we just have to wait for the patch to fix this issue.

At least we know that the patch is on it´s way.
