Re: Lost connection to the session on multiplayer

Stop fiddling with your modem it is not the issue. Certain regions were left in the dumps during implementation of the multiplayer network structure. It is based off a host compatibility basis and thus is overwhelmingly unstable. It is what you get when you have a cheap **bleep** company implement a cheap and half assed multiplayer with a very low budget. Whether your connection drops or not is solely due to your ping to the player host. The slightest bit of latency and the game drops the connection.

It is not like other stable multiplayer games where the companies invest in a strong host server. The only way you will get a stable experience is if you host the games yourself. I invite you to test my answer for yourself if you haven't already done so. Try to hit up a few friends not having problems and you host the game. The game will run perfectly and you won't have trouble with lag jumping etc. Just be careful with 4 players out of your region though because it may just try to drop you in favor of a stronger host more compatible with the other 2 players.

    It's infuriating that they didn't even address the problem after so many reports. I doubt if that they have known the problem but they had no plan to fix it as it would cost them.

    How does this make any sense @RaidenStorm888 ?

    Two of my friends and me went to play this, we live in the same country and even in the same city, which makes your suggestion useless, as their multiplayer works, and mine doesn't. As I already said, when my friend joined me, I will get a lost connection to the session, but I wont end up in the loop.

    btw country I live in is Finland, if that matters.

    I totally agree with RaidenStorm, I only have problem when I try to join a random group. If I host I have NO connection errors...
