Bandwidth Donor Help

[Scowie]

I created a new game and turned dedicated on but it says it has to be ranked and i can see the ranked button but it is faded out so from here on i am stumped.

Any ideas as i need HELP with this one.

[Darren Curtis]

Thats the same with me :(

[Elazul]

I was planning on doing this tonight
Is there problems with it?

Time to whip out the ol' instruction manual!

[Richie]

You need to be able to host at least 8 players to get it ranked

If you can't host 8, you can't make it ranked.

I am also having trouble ranking up i have been playing warhawk until now and i only have 94 points is that good..?

[Richie]

When you play warhawk, there are two types of games you can join, ranked and unranked. You can get trophies in unranked and ranked, but you have to play ranked games in order to get points and kills on yuor profile stats. Unranked games won't count.

You can tell if a game is ranked if you look at the server names, to the left of those will be three icons, the first icon has a lttle trophy sign. If it is white, the game is ranked, if it has a red cross over it the game is unranked.

What determines whether you can host 8?
Your internet speed?

[Richie]

Yes. The game sets a max amount of players after it tests your bandwidth, you can go lower but not higher than the amount it sets. I can only get 4 players too :S

[Elazul]

Oh, this seems like a really unfair trophy then
If you don't have the brandwidth for it then how are you supposed to get it?
Stupid, Stupid Trophy

[Scowie]

WTF r u sure if so i hate this game..

OJ

[ventralpigeon]

Well, it is a stupid trophy because you have to play 4 consecutive hours of the same game.

It's unfair to those with high gas and electric prices.

[Scowie]

LOL

GAS why GAS :)

[Elazul]

It's not the bills etc that annoy me, it's that people with lower connections can't ever get this trophy.

[xxDUNE]

So the Bandwidth Donor has to be a dedicated ranked server?

[steedster]

^yeh, which means you cant even play, which sucks. I am doing it at the moment and im 12.13 mins in, just another 3h 47min 47 secs of not having my ps3.:bigcry:

Could you post what your upstream & Downstream was when u selected create a game.

THANKS

[Devils_Demon]

I'm having the same problem. I can only host a 4 player server. Ah well, looks like I'll never be able to get that trophy then.

[zero_cool_01]

Well I've just started it up myself. Luckily I can support eight players. But its been running 41:15 now and no players are using it. My question is, will I still get the trophy if my server goes unused?

[Stalemate]

Yes Im pretty sure you will I dont think anyone joined mine and I got it.

[zero_cool_01]

Yup it worked. Its kinda funny that no one even has to play on your server to get the trophy.
