Hello POT90s,
I am sorry to hear you are having this problem.
In order to figure out what the problem is, please;
(From the Playstation 3 Internet Browser)
Go to http://canyouseeme.org
In the empty box next to "What Port", type in 80 and select "Check."
Repeat this process for 443, 3074, 3478, 3479, 3658, and 5223.
Do these ports show as open, closed, timed-out, or connection refused?
I'm on the PC version and I have the same situation.
Before the last patch, it was always x/50 games, and now it only finds 6 games.
After 5 minutes waiting, I am directed to a foreigner lobby (us/canada lobby) even though I'm from Brazil. I have never seen this before.
I'm from Turkey. I never had any problems finding games through matchmaking. Its always on All Nat. After the DLC.. this is very stupid but I can only find games from DLC maps.. I can't go CTF.. Really annoying. It keeps saying 'Searchin for DLC is taking time...' but it is only giving me DLC games. I don't even wanna play DLC maps.. Wanna go back to my old maps. Just good old matchmaking please.
with Nat type: Open I got 0 games.. and even tho I bought the DLC it says files different from the server.. (ah and this happened when I finally miracelously found a game, we were all 3 of us there.. so much fun)
and on this forum I keep getting 'An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again.'
why is everything with your name on it giving me errors?
I can't play nothing anymore. Not only that can't get in OIC or AON , can't play demolition, S&D, free for all....it alwyas says "patch.mp.ff is different from server", or "main/iw_25.iwd is different from the servers"...
I can't play nothing anymore my PC MW3 MP. Didn't buy DLC pack...Not only that can't get in OIC or AON , can't play demolition, S&D, free for all....it alwyas says
“Patch_mp.ff is different than server” or “main/iw_25.iwd is different from servers”...anyone knows is this going to be fixed by steam or should I do something?

We get it, stop spamming you child.
patch_mp.ff download: http://www20.zippyshare.com/v/77845439/file.html
has anyone the main/iw_25.iwd as a download??
This is an absolute joke!
Same thing with me, I'm from australia and before with matchmaking in TDM i would get 50 possible games. DLC came out and i thought wow ill get that. Downloaded, installed.... 1 possible game with DLC games, okay so i disabled DLC.........5 possible games
Ive gone from 50 possible games to 5 possible games in one day (WITH DLC DISABLED).
This is a joke, i cant find ANY games with a good connection im always being connected to a foreign server, everyone whos on my friends list would also be playing MW3, now NONE are and are playing other games because they can't find any games with a good connection.
ACTIVISION or whoever is in charge of MW3 for PC, please sort your problems out and stop ripping off your PC customers, i purchased your DLC content for $15 and in exchange i can't even play them. Its called product support, maybe you guys should use it.
For those who are playing on the PC, I would recommend doing the following:
Delete your MW3 Multiplayer config file:
1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modernwarfare 3\players2
2. Locate and delete config_mp.cfg
Next, Verify the File Integrity of your game within Steam:
File Integrity Check:
1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.
This process will force the game to download and update any files that could be causing issues within the game.
Nothing has changed
oh wait something has changed... now I can not connect to online servies at all,
Trying that now, skeptical but will try.
I can;t beleive an official release hasn't been out and stated that there is problems and they are going to FIX it. instead of putting blames back on the user. Player in a server today and asked if anyone was having troubles, EVERYONE who downloaded the DLC are having problems with matchmanking, the ones that arent having problems didn't get the DLC.
Nope, still no difference. I'm getting 4 possible games MAX with DLC off, and 1 Possible game MAX with DLC on. (Using matchmaking, TDM)
Hello GoobyPls,
What console are you playing on?
Hi!
We are PC Gamers! and we have tried all the possible solutions that are within our reach.
We need a real solution: an update or patch that fix these issues.
Thanks!
Glad to know it isn't just me being driven nuts by this problem since the PC DLC. Guess we won't get a fix till at least after the weekend and it gets properly looked at. Kind of irritating since we are being rewarded for paying for the DLC with double XP. Shame we will not be earning any XP at all since we can't actually play.
The delete and verify route makes no differnce. The game needs a fix please.
sadly this is happenenign on the xbox also, i cant find a game
Same thing happening on PS3 sporadically. Something is jacked up somewhere.
Also (for PC) alot of the servers i am joinging (WITH DLC disabled) its coming up "Files Different from server" sometimes and wont let me join. Played 3 maps on one server, then the next map it went to join it came up with that error.
Hello GoobyPls,
Sorry to hear you are seeing that error. Typically the "files different from server" error usually means the patch version that you are using is different from what the server is using.
To make sure that you have the latest update;
Go to Steam (application) and select Library
Right click on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and select Properties > Local Files tab > Verify Integrity of Game Cache
If there was anything wrong with your current update, this will resolve that problem.
If you still are having that error beyond those steps, please let us know so we can further assist you.
same problem! Find 1-3 games with dlc on and 6 with dlc off. before patch i got 50 possible games
ELITE_Help: I did that process and im still getting the same error, its not all the time but first game that i got joined to on matchmaking service this morning i got this error.
