Maybe you downloaded the wrong version. Get it from here: https://www.geshl2.com/downloads/

Yeah that's where I got it. Maybe my connection was crap but there was still literally one other person on all of the servers.

Weird. I've had no issue finding full servers. I jumped in when you posted this and there seems to be a few servers with a bunch of people.

Eh. There are actually people on the servers now, but even though I've put my settings on the lowest of the low I'm still getting game breaking lag... and god damn it everybody is a headshot surgeon!

My connection has been kind of ****ty for the past few hours though, so I'll give it some time or some **** and see what happens. Preferably though we'll all meet in a smelly hotel room with a dusty N64 and battle this out split screen as god intended.

The second part is something I can't agree with more.

As soon as you step into an open air area you're dead in two seconds, and any one-on-one battle is almost instantaneous death. I wouldn't mind so much if not for the lag.

I have noticed that it is very unforgiving much like Call of Duty, but the fun for me comes from it being simply GoldenEye online.

Here we go, blaming it all on lag. Newbs, get good at the game and stop complaining.

Pardon? I've not complained about it once.

Alright so my **** finally seems to be working right. And I die like every two seconds **** these people. MB server?

And when I say lag I mean I'd be one place, freeze for several seconds, and then be ten feet away from where I was. Or dead. Actual lag.
