Overview
This game have some troubles to Play with People In any kind of gamemode. Coop, Guerrila or Competitive. Here is a little guide for help.
(This guide is OUTDATED)
This guide is old and outdated cause there no need to open ports anymore (far as i know).
But the guide gonna stay up no matter what cause i made it long time ago and reading this guide reminds me some good old memories. This game was in my life on a few important moments and thats the reason of keeping it. Cheers and salutations.
Coop and Guerrila
If you want to play Guerrila maps or the Coop Campaing you need to add people to friends. Not on Steam, Not on Uplay. Im speaking about the friensd menu of the game. You can add people from there and only from there. Because its the only way to send the invitations to other players. Not its an option. Its a requeriment. If you dont find friends [Sadly to say right?] you not be able to play coop / guerrila with other players.
Yeah, you need to meet some people to play any kind of coop for this game. Steam Forums [Obviosly the forums of the game Ghost Recon – Future Soldier] is a good place to meet and know players. Create a Post and ask for friends. Not be afraid you are not the only one.
Ubisoft forums are a good choice too:
[link]VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU HOST A DLC GUERRILA / COOP MAP: if the player invited not have bought the dlc he cant join to your party.
Lets do some friends 😀
Multiplayer Competitive
Well, there is the multiplayer competitive [PVP]. To play this you not need to do some friends. You can play with random people. Some people have some problems to find matches. Some problems are for the bad developed server browser of the game. You need to configure the filter correctly.
First: In game type; Select: Any/ALL [Simple]
Second: In Match Preference; Select: Battle [May be different if you have any DLC]
If you have dlc you can see two more options:
-Battle Artic Strike
-Battle Khyber Striker
Select any of them for only search matches with DLC MAPS. But dont select any of both. I will explain why in the next section.
Remember, Select: BATTLE.
Well this is all at this part. We gonna talk for the problems to find matches not related from the game on other section.
How to play DLC MAPS with people.
First the game have a long story… only the people who bought the game at the release date know it. [like me]
The game have a bad release, ton of bugs and unplayable on multiplayer most of the times, that down the player poll a lot. But the matchmaking system still the same. So not its efficient and logic.
If you select the search of server with DLC maps the game only search them and you need to know some important things:
– Not every one have the DLC PACKS.
– The people without the DLC PACKS cant join the that kind of servers.
– If you select find DLC servers if not are anyone you host one automatically.
For that reason. Most of the active players. Select BATTLE. Because is the easiest and fast way of increase your chances to find people. [depends of the hour and day]
Now, there is a way play Competitive DLC Multiplayer maps. Is similar to the COOP and Guerrila. Find people who wanna play that maps. Use the forums, Move yourself. And yeah its SAD because most of the games enable the players join to DLC servers even if the player not have them. Just another reason for blame the matchmaking browser.
Other Problems
This depends of the person, there many situations around the world. That problems cause you not be able to find matches. Or people cant be join to your party on coop or guerilla.
Lets start:
==PORTS==
The Port Fordwarding are a common cause of a lot of game, sadly not everyone know how what are or how open them. If you dont know it i suggest search information over internet. You can find information of what they are and how to open it depending of the model or name of your router / modem.
The ports you need to open are:
–TCP PORTS–
80, 1001-1002, 2346
–UDP PORTS–
10007, 15765, 24340, 24360
==FIREWALL==
Much people have problems with the firewall. Not all the people of course. The solution is simple: DISABLE IT. If you dont know how to disable it use www.google.com and search: How to disable “FIREWALL NAME” in case you are using the default firewall of windows just search: How to disable windows firewall.
==VIRTUAL LAN DEVICES/PROGRAMS==
This is another cause. This one happend to me, so i talk for personal experience. Im talking about programs like: Tunggle, Hamachi or any kind of Virtual Lan.
One fast solution for this one is unistall them. But if you dont want do that just disable it. And turn the priority at the normal state. Dont you remember what is the priority? Well maybe you can remember this:
==ANTI-VIRUS==
This is a strange cause, but can happend, its simple disable it temporarily
Ending
Well, is that all. Im sure there more problems around the world, But that one are the only what i know.
My apologies for my english, i know is not perfect but i’ve done my best. I Hope this can help some one.
Bye!
