I can't find a specific friend on rivalries but it works with all my other friends. Just always says game session no longer avaible. I've tried everything ea has asked on the online chat and they told me to post on here. My case number was 24018881. Contact me on [edit: email address removed]I can't fight my specific friend on any mode.

Every time my friend and I try to play online rivals or a quick match when the invitee is joining the session the session is no longer available pops up. We've attempted to play each other multiple times and it has only worked once. We can both play randoms online no problem. Not sure what the issue is.

This is a reproducible bug.If you have twelve or more created fighters, attempting to find online quick match session will crash the game every time. Upon deleting the 12th created character (for a total of 11 remaining) the game will work as usual.This is kind of frustrating as it caps the total CAFs available to be created.

@angelogpb Please see info on common issues and workarounds here: http://help.ea.com/en/article/common-gameplay-issues-and-workarounds-for-ea-sports-ufc-2/ Additionally, you and your friend should both open the following ports to maximise connectivity, particularly with regard to matchmaking: http://help.ea.com/en/article/online-ports-to-improve-your-ea-sports-ufc-2-connection/

We've tried that but still have the same problem

@angelogpb Have you deleted and re-added that particular friend? If so, you and that friend should both go through the relevant connection troubleshooting below: http://help.ea.com/article/connection-troubleshooting-basic/ http://help.ea.com/article/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-xbox/ http://help.ea.com/article/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-playstation/

You might ask your friend to check if her XBL Gold or PS+ subscription has lapsed.

I have tried to play against my friend on xbox one ufc 2 for the past few days and it keeps saying "session no longer available" after it tries joining no matter which one of us sends the invite. My Nat type is always open.

@SeismicCat @enich97 @buihimself

We are trying to get some specific info on the issue you guys are seeing. I have merged your threads together here as it is likely your issues are the same.

It is possible the problem you are seeing is related to your save files and we would like to know if deleting your save files for this game allows you to play Quick Fight or Rivals correctly again.

Can you please delete your UFC 2 save file and then let us know here if you can play those game modes without issue?

Thank you.
