Multiplayer help?

March 11, 2008 12:39:32 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
    So how exactly does multiplayer in this game work?  I went into Ironclad online, started looking through games and its showing no games currently and only 35 people online. 

Am I doing something wrong (in the wrong place, settings are off, etc) or is it normal for there to be so few people on and no games up?

Prime time for players is between 5pm-10pm PST, there will be at least 200+ players during those play hours. The majority of people who play can not host because they are behind routers and do not know how to properly configure their routers to port forward.

If you just logged in and see an empty box that says 'players', it's because you need to create a persona on your account and select it. Then you can proceed into the lobby.

If you're already in the lobby, you probably were just the first person to start a new channel (ICO makes a new lobby channel and starts filling it once the previous one is full). Try just changing to a channel with a number one lower.
