[Fox_McCloud_DX]

Hello! I bought yesterday ACB and when I tried to enter in the multiplayer, it appeard a message saying that the server was down. I tried to connect yestarday all day long and also today and nothing! I tried to search in the internet for the solution and even tough I din't found any, I realized that it was a common problem! Can anyone please help me?

I already did but it doesn't seem to cover my problem since i can play all of my other online games perfectly!:S

edit: Also my NAT is already type two and my UPnP is already avaiable! Do i still have to open the ports mentioned in the sticky thread or does that only apply for those who can connect to the server but suddenly drop?

Not sure, but I could always play any other online game perfectly as well, until AC:B. Try opening the ports. It can't hurt to try.

No you don't need to open any ports if your router supports UPNP. This is exactly what UPNP is for. It allows your xbox to "talk" to the router and dynamically open the ports needed on the fly. If you didn't UPNP enabled on the router you would need to open ports manually.

Your issues are because the servers are pathetic, I have the same problem and like you don't experience it on other games.

I have a PS3 but o supose the UPnP works the same way!So...the only solution is to try to log in and pray it works?:S

Yeah. Beyond what you've confirmed, probably only reporting to ubi and hoping it gets fixed with the next batch of matchmaking improvements.
