Gears of War Connection Problems


Recommended Posts

When I play GoW online ranked matches I frequently have connection problems when trying to join games initially. Usually get "Host is no longer available" or errors similar...

Am I the only one?

Does it happen when you see no players at all on a server, or is it already close to being full?

If it is the latter, it is not a bug or a problem at all. It is exactly what it says it is. You are getting that "Host is no longer available" error message because the host is no longer available as enough people already joined to fill the match... Try joining servers with little to no people on them at all... they fill up in no time at all. Literally.

Patience is key when finding matches honestly. Do not try to join a match that already has 6 people in it, you more than likely will not get in. Join a match with 0-2 people in it, wait the 2-3 minutes you will have to wait for the room to fill up, and enjoy.

Since I have learned this is the way to try and find matches, I have not seen that error message in over a week.

Yeah it is an issue that they have to fix. Try to connect only to games that have 4 or less than 4 players, since they fill up pretty fast. Also I wish they can also fix the multiplayer by alowing a wining team to stay together, so that after match is over we dont have to reconect. I guess possible solution will be to set up a dedicated server, but I doubt they'll do that....

If you hit refresh (x) then join (a) right as you join the game it usualy seems to help... Iv gotten into the pattern of doing that each time and the problem seems to have just gone away.
