Connection issues? POST HERE!

[Hammbone87]

I'm on the XBox, I've had no significant connection problems since Saturday (or maybe it was Sunday, I can't remember). My guess is that they are working on it, but this stuff is complicated and difficult.

(And I say that out of hope, because I really like GCI too.)

it cant be that complicated or difficult... indie dev teams made of 1-2 people can do it easily...

this is the kind of thing, that a respectable developer would be apologising about, and would have been fixed long ago.

I have to respectfully disagree. Monolith started selling the game at a discount, and by all appearances they were getting load substantially above the norm because of it. When your servers start falling over and you don't have spare capacity to handle the excess load, things get ugly fast and don't always cool down when people start giving up.

This whole computer thing is still relatively new and the technology is not as robust as one would expect or hope.

still, you agree with me that after five months, not being able to join a soddin match cause of connection failure it's kinda ridiculous no?

I agree completely with that. However that has *not* been my experience. I would be most displeased after dropping about $25 on a game and not being able to play as advertised as well.

I've been disconnecting from matches after they have ended, the server searcher takes forever to find a game, and when I try to leave a matchmaking lobby after it disconnects, I need to quit the game because it freezes and my system restarts. Just because I left a matchmaking lobby. I also tend to lag (which is not really a big deal) during my time on the servers as well. I have a PS3, and I know it is not me. Other games I have work fine when on the internet; it's your servers that are the problem. It's not just me, either. Many other PS3 players tend to experience the same thing. Please tell me you're going to fix this soon..?

ON PS3 and PC... searches take forever. Lag at startup & frequent drops. I pay for higher level of net, static ip, and my PC is uber.... these servers/hosts suck but game otherwise rocks

Please! Do something about lagging lobby and crashes when exiting game (on PS3 - console restarts).

Just curious, what are the symptoms you are seeing right now? Is it just taking a long time to find games or are you completely unable to play? Are you getting dropped from games?

Thanks for the info you provided, it helps a lot.
