(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok...so some of you might have read my thread about how when I use force host I just sit in a lobby forever and I never find a game:You must login or register to view this content.
I have a new problem other people might be having the same problem with:

This is EXACTLY what I do:
Private Match --> Mod Menu (EliteMossy v9 edit #9 by ChromePlaya) --> Host --> Force Host(The Unkn0wn's) --> Game Setting --> Ranked Match --> Host --> End Game......

(go into a ranked match lobby, searching for a game) --> back out into a party with myself --> Invite 3-5 people --> find game --> xxxxxxxx --> get into lobby searching for a game --> people join lobby and game eventually starts --> I am not the host

Before I would just get into a lobby searching for a game (And never find one) but now I find a game but Im not host when game starts. When I vote to skip it only counts as 1 vote, before it did "vote passed." this is really annoying, is there something wrong with the patch I use or is it still my connection?

my theory is that it takes forever to get into a game because everyone and their mother has a patch with force host on it... so everyone and their mother is forceing host... so with all that going on its hard to find players without force host to throw into your lobby >_<.

I get the same problem dude.

hmm i never use the ranked match method that you guys stated i just simply go to private match turn on force host 2 and end game then go to any game and play sometime u may have to wait for a while sometimes u dont if its more than 1min and no one has joined just back out and try again thats what i do and yes it mostly depends on your net speed and your network configurations that determines if your host are not as u can see in my sig below i have a chitty connection with at&t but 80% of the time i get host and i know thousands of people have a better net speed then i do so i guess it my network config the steps i took to achieve a Nat Type "open" by changing settings in my routers configurations.

It's reallly simple...............just play FFA

You only need 4 to start and your good. Always works with any patch w/ Unkn0wns Force host.

Private Match--->Force Host---->End Game--->Join FFA

What kinda download/upload you got cause i am pretty sure just to play a normal match dial up is alright but if you wanna be a host it's just under 600kb/s for both that's for a 12 player game. (I think)

No not really, I have a problem with mine too. Also there was a playlist update which has stopped force host from working from what elitemossy posted.

Hmm i have moderate yet force host works for me. Happy
