During this morning's maintenance we updated the matchmaking server rules. You will no longer be matched against the same player repeatedly. We were also seeing players get stuck in the ranked matchmaking queue, requiring leaving and re-entering the queue. We're still tracking down all the cases of this but it should be better. If you

[quote who="Splitterbruch" reply="19" id="3617193"]So I'm not entirely sure how you need to do extensive research into multiplayer infrastructure or why Valve/GOG need to create a shared platform - since GOG is already offering crossplay. Do you mean to say that all the crossplay-enabled games on GOG are not using networking services by Valve and GOG, but are all running on their own worldwide multiplayer infrastructure?[/quote] GOG Galaxy cross play requires that everyone everywhere
[quote quoting="post"] I wonder how to submit benchmarks to the metaverse (gog version)[/quote] First, make sure you have the latest version.

If you right-click on the mini-map it issues a move order - but not attack move.
The issue is being investigated. All game results will be wiped at some point closer to release.

I said YeSe lets Quote me “lets say I would be happy to do port forwarding the problem is their is no way to know what port that might be it can be 49152 to 65535.” HaPpY or do you think port forwarding 49152 to 65535 UDP ports IN is in a word acceptable to you?

[quote who="eviator" reply="16" id="3602492"] Legacyone, he seems to be saying Ashes uses the Steam connection methodology. If you want to complain to someone about the insecurity of UPnP, maybe you should complain to Valve and ask them to implement UDP traversal. Then Ashes would support it.

Here's some specifics from Valve on what ports are required for Steam's networking to function: Link I'm security minded as well so I sympathize with what you're trying to accomplish. Unfortunately UPnP is the standard almost every game expects to have available. One solution would be to get a second IP from your ISP and put a separate "low security" router in place where you enabl
Thanks for the heads up. As far as missing data goes: there have been builds - including the current release - which haven't been reporting data to the backend servers correctly. Consequently some games have not been recorded. The next build fixes reporting. Note that you can view the same information in-game by clicking on your name in the top right of the Ashes main menu. The next build of Ashes improves the in-game profiles. The website will also be updated with these impr

The team did lots more work on the Ashes profile pages recently. The updated design should be in the next release. Here's a little preview!
Online services will be unavailable for up to 2 hours starting Tuesday November 3rd at 10:00 AM Eastern / 1500 UTC. Player profiles will not be available. Game and benchmark results submitted during this time will not be recorded.
Starting today at 10:00 AM Eastern / 1400 UTC player profiles and leaderboards will be offline for up to 2 hours for maintenance. Game and benchmark results submitted during this time will not be recorded.
It's in and working now so there's no reason it won't be ready for Early Access. I will say it looks better with real data!
