Broken Multiplayer (Operations)

[hade1]

What is up with the multiplayer?

Had one successful match of it yesterday, ever since then when I start a game (select stage) it adds in new players, we stand in the ship area to launch the game, it loads, then it dumps us back in the hanger with no options to interact with anything (ship is missing etc, escape/menu options don't respond etc).
Only thing to do at this point is hard close the game.

haven't been able to do a single operation since doing the first mid campaign, i get the same exact issue

I found I could sometimes get it to work by joining quickplay (in progress games) rather than selecting a mission and starting my own. However sometimes that will fail too and you will get stuck with a "joining server" progress bar forever.

Seems like whatever networking/server infrastructure they put in place isnt able to deal with numbers for Early Access, going to be a lot worse at normal launch. Perhaps they should have coded it so that party leader hosts and it uses data already installed on our PCs for the levels, and only syncs at the end to update stats/xp.

Its a shame as the "2" games I have been able to play with other players in Ops have been good.

move back to the area where the 'start zone' for the dropship should be when you are in the hanger 0/0 skip.
All party members need to do this

I get this issue also. I found the quickplay works better and turning of crossplay also helped. I have not once been able to start my own game.

ryeah it hardly works. 1-50 chance :)

I also found that if you join friends in operations 8 out of 10 times, you get an infinite "Joining Server" notification and you have to kill the process from task manager to join.

I HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. I found it recently on their bug page. It’s a loading bug. Myself and a mate had the same issue. However instead of closing the game just head to where the ship should be once you have been dropped back to the barge. If you have squad mates make sure they all follow you or your game won’t start. Good luck have fun brothers

Get everyone to stand where the ship should be, it has work 3 times in a row for me
