I dunno why but xlink says about 100+ users on gr2 but when i go into the main gr2 room i only see like 15 users and 6 arenas. Why´s that?
im a bit worried here Crying or Very sad

And Yes i have fixed my fw and no im not behind a router

Another strange thing, im playing on a 16 player server, but its not in gr2 room Sad

speaking of user counts when i set the little status box to say that i have more than one xbox does it add another user to the count ? it should .. also it should say under the user weither or not they have more than one user .. to many times in ghost recon2 especially because you can play split screen you'll join a room that sez 3 ppl are in it but they have a full game of 8 .. oh and maybe on the same note if you are using 2 xboxs (or more) xlink could auto add the user count .. i dunno, just idea's :]

These messages are game related, not Kai related. You want us to make a faq with every error message from every game in it Shocked

?

It's a known problem with GR2, sometimes ping related, sometimes seemingly random. Just join back in and continue playing Very Happy

A similar observation.

I went on to Kai for the first time last night. Many of the Arenas looked like they had lots of people in them, and the Halo 2 arena I ended up in said it had ~600 ppl. Yet when I tried to chat almost no one responded, and I could only find 1 or 2 games in an hour or so.

Do ppl tend to leave Kai running all the time- especially now that you can run it in your router - but really are nowhere near their game console? If so, it'd be nice if there was a way for Kai to detect this and set their status to "Idle" or drop them or something. It certainly generates a lot of ping traffic moving between arenas full of "zombies".

Or am I mistaken and something else is going on?

With Halo 2 you'll find most people in the private arenas. Also, most people are actually PLAYING, so no typing Very Happy
