"Error in creating Game Session"

[Echodawg]

I purchased this game strictly to be able to play coop but as of yet, I haven't been able too. When trying to start a coop server I get the following error "Error in creating Game Session". Multiplayer has the same problem. I tried reinstalling the game as well as creating a new Gamespy account but nothing works. By the way, this is the pc version. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes. I have the same problem with the demo and have tried what you did but nothing and no one from eidos seem to want to answer my email.

yah,same here,echo & it really sucks - hard enuff to find anything coop anymore & even harder to find a game review that comes straight out & tells ya ahead of time whether it has coop play or not. it sucks. everything is "multiplayer" !!!! its a crap shoot if that also means coop,but we wouldnt want em to lose any sales now,would we ???!!!

same prob here with creating game & we bought it solely for the coop,too.

i reiterate - it sucks !!!!! :confused: :confused:

Eidos posted an update of sorts on thier site about this issue, they basically tell you to open the same tcp/udp ports in your modem and firewall. I tried it out and i still cant play multiplayer, make it worse i see games but when i try to join them i lose connection with the host.Incedentally anyone know how to log into the eidos support site once you make a ticket, i dont see an option.

yeh,ice,my buddy & i did the same crap with the porting - NFG !!! actually,kind of a shot in the dark,since we were both already had our routers set in the DMZ.

my buddy sent eidos email describing the prob & got the stock answer bout the ports.

pretty friggin disgusted - :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

I think i might have solved the mulitplayer error. If you have an antivirus that sports a firewall of any kind ( norton internet security, mcafee enterprise etc) temporarily uninstall it if you can and try and play online, ive tried and im now able to create a session, in awhile a freind and i are going to play the demo online and see what happens, i guess all hope might not be lost!

I just gave this a try, disabled both my anti-virus and firewall but it's still not working for me.
