Had some major problems last night, hoping someone maybe has some tips? I'm on PS3 using wireless router.
I've not had any real trouble connecting to matches when doing a quick search. I can do that all day long and be fine.
However, it seems to take an Act of Congress to join a friend's game when I get an invite.
The first day I tried, I accepted the game invite. I then got stuck on the "joining session" screen for an extended period of time... up to the point that the little "communicating" spinning disc message in upper left-hand corner of screen disappeared. I quit out of the game entirely, messaged my friend to send another invite, then re-booted the game. This time, I was finally able to get into her lobby.
Last night, after a multitude of attempts with a different friend, I had to stop. First, my husband just finally got his own copy and online code for the game so we could play online together. I set up a private lobby and sent him a game invite. He connected to my lobby, no problem. We play a few bronze matches before he quits for the night.
I then had a friend send me a game invite afterwards. My first attempt to join put me on the endless "joining session" screen. After about a minute and a half, I quit the game and asked my friend to send another invite (because your invite disappears after you make an attempt to use it, even if you don't successfully make it into the lobby). He did, so I tried joining again. This time, on the "joining session" screen, I got an error message saying something along the lines of "a network error has occurred and your connection to this game has been lost". Friend sends me a THIRD invite. I try again, get to "joining session" screen, then get a "this session is no longer available" message. I message my friend and he gets confused, says he is sitting in his lobby right now.
We try something different. I create MY own private lobby and invite him and several others. He tries several times, but also gets stuck on a "joining mission" screen. However, a different friend managed to enter my lobby. First friend never could. We gave up after 30 freaking minutes of trying to troubleshoot this.
My real problem is that there seems to be no real discernible pattern here. If I had trouble connecting to any games at all, private friends' or public lobbies, maybe I could understand. If I could NEVER connect to a friend's lobby, I could understand (but I HAVE been able to before, but never on the first "try"). If NOBODY could ever enter MY lobbies, I could understand. But this just seems totally random... some friends can use the invite to get in with no problem on first attempt... others can't ever get in... and I usually have to try via multiple invites to connect to a friend's lobby, if I can ever connect at all in some cases.
Any advice? 'Cause you can color me confused here.
I had the same troubles with joining friends games last night. Don't know what it was, but we finally both got in someone else's lobby, and we couldn't get a 4th random to join. We started the match and someone was able to get in then, but the host left a few games in, and the same thing happened where it got stuck at 3 people. Eventually we got 4 people in the middle of the next game, and someone left after another match at the score screen and this somehow kicked me, and sent me back to the "joining session" screen freeze.
Have no idea what the problem is, but I find the whole thing where it kicks you to the menu and has to reconnect enitrely pretty clunky, and don't get me started on the disconnects...
Retour en haut
It seems there is a major screw-up somewhere on the server side. One would expect patches to solve issues, but it certainly looks like the latest one might have introduced this problem.
