MikeSucker Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We get this error message when we try to connect to each other in Campaign or Guerilla: "Unable to join session. Host is using Downloadable Content which you do not have" All 4 of us have the same versions of the PC game. Two persons have a MAC using bootcamp for Future Soldier PC . What's strange is that they used to be able to connect to us "Pure PC" gamers. Now only two of us running PC can join each other. After the 1.6 patch this error occurs, hindering the MAC users with bootcamp to join. However running bootcamp on a MAC should not affect the PC experince in any way. The MAC should be a "pure PC" when running bootcamp. Or am I wrong? Any ideas how we could get all of us connected. Any cache that needs to be cleared, firewall settings?? Appreciating any ideas.

Blame Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You must have downloaded the same Map/whatever pack they have which is an extension for the game and it's for sale for a certain price, for example like in COD DLC's must be bought, its not like Counter-Strike, whenever you join a random server it will download the map that is being played in the server.

MikeSucker Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 All 4 of us have the same content, us PC gamers have played the Guerilla more extensively. We have only played guerilla because we are waiting to solve this issue before all 4 of us start with the campaign. We don't play multiplayer as we are just too weak against players that play 24hrs a day. Also, the DLC pack shoukd allow connecting if you don't play the DLC maps.

CR6 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi Mike Can you give us a bit more info on your PC's specs (CPU/GPU/NIC etc), what Windows OS you are using, any antivirus/firewall software and are you playing on a LAN or over the internet You are right that a Mac should behave like a pure PC if booting up from bootcamp into Windows (ie. not virtualized within Mac OS) If all your computers could see each other previous to patch 1.6, it is likely a patch 1.6 issue/bug Can the 2 Macs see each other after patch 1.6?

MikeSucker Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Mike Can you give us a bit more info on your PC's specs (CPU/GPU/NIC etc), what Windows OS you are using, any antivirus/firewall software and are you playing on a LAN or over the internet You are right that a Mac should behave like a pure PC if booting up from bootcamp into Windows (ie. not virtualized within Mac OS) If all your computers could see each other previous to patch 1.6, it is likely a patch 1.6 issue/bug Can the 2 Macs see each other after patch 1.6? One thing that I forgot to mention. One of the Mac's managed to join a gaming session before the 1.6 patch. The other MAC joined us after the 1.6 patch and has never been able to join. The PC setup: #1: Pentium 6600, Geforce, ASUS P5B, Win Vista, AVG-antivirus, Win-Firewall #2: Pentium 6600, ATI, ASUS P5B, Win 7, AVAST-antivirus, Win-Firewall The iMAC use Win7 and Win8 with bootcamp The two PC's can connect with each other , no problems. The MAC's we have yet to try. The PC's cannot connect to the Mac's either if the Mac's are hosting. One of the PC's have the DLC packages since 1 week back. This doesn't prevent the PC's from connecting when playing the original maps. The two PC's have played extensively the Guerrilla modes, reaching to last levels. Could this progress be the issue?

CR6 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi Mike, I doubt the progress on the Guerrilla modes would make any difference. Unfortunately I have no other suggestions. I am guessing that it is a v1.6 patch issue and I wouldn't hold my breath that Ubi will fix it anytime soon. You can prob see in a thread I started some time ago that GRFS PC does not work for those of us with GeForce 5xx series cards and they still haven't fixed it after knowing about the issue for months, as well as they promised support for XP at launch but still haven't delivered Probably the most reliable way to enjoy GRFS is on an Xbox ...

MikeSucker Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Too bad, I must say I've seldom enjoyed such good intense firefights as in GRFS, maybe since R6 Vegas2, even though it's PC. This game has worked like a clock since we started playing little over 1 month ago. Gradually however the connection issues have risen, especially now that we want to have a team of 4 playing co-op. As we're all somewhat middle-aged familyguys, we don't have the time to mess about with a game which doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSucker Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Problem solved, seems the latest 1,7 patched worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Glad they fixed it. Surprising they didn't advertise the patch or release patch notes, but from what I gather the 1.7 patch only specifically patches the "Host is using Downloadable Content which you do not have"" bug you were experiencing.
