DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 16, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2010 So finally I have some time to sit down and play this after I received it today. Trouble is, I can't play the damn game! I'm trying to join Suppression matches, it's 50/50 between getting a message like your connection was lost or other times it'll load the lobby where I can select my squad before it drops. Wtf? Edit: here's the error message... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20541/Misc/Neowin/MAG.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That is normal. People got it with the beta, the demo and the final. You just need to try later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoTrunks Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That is normal. People got it with the beta, the demo and the final. You just need to try later. That is normal? Now, I don't play the game everyday, but I've made it to level 34, and I've never gotten this in the retail game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 16, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2010 Well I am 100% confident my network is brilliant, but just for curiosities sake I played KZ2 and it never dropped my connection. About to test with Resistance 2. edit: or not because surprise surprise, patches! :angry: edit2: Resistance 2 works fine also. Guess it is MAG :/ Wonder if I can get my money back.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 16, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2010 I just can't believe they pass the blame off to everyone else and ISP's being the issue, when the only common factor here is their game. The whole dropped packets/pings is such a BS excuse. I don't drop any and don't have issues with any other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaT40 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That is normal. People got it with the beta, the demo and the final. You just need to try later. Haven't had this problem so I can't say this is normal for me or for many other people I know who play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they didn't get 800+ replies for nothing! http://forums.mag.com/t5/Issues-and-Exploits/Disconnect-problems/td-p/274657 I'm beginning to think this is normal for MAG. I've yet to stay connected to a game for more than 5 minutes, never mind finish a round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 16, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2010 Wow I actually made it to the end of a game and earned some XP! Then the following match it proceeded to fail & disconnect. Now I can't even connect to games! :sleep: I suppose my ISP must have just been generous for 5 mins to let me see what I'm missing...

I've gotten server drops as well but not as frequent as what your experiencing. Different types of connections and ISPs could also be the problem, its hard to diagnose do to network complexity.

Trust me, it's not. It seems the frequency of the errors has increased since the 1.07 patch. I obviously can't tell if that's true or not having only played it for a day, but it certainly sounds believable from what I've seen so far. http://uk.gamespot.com/ps3/action/mag/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-56015386&pid=950933&tag=topics%3Btitle http://boards.ign.com/mag/b25113/189639659/p1/?8 http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/MAG/The-connection-to-the-game-universe-was-lost/td-p/11342638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offer the same recommendation. Don't buy it, at least until they fix it. When you do get in matches, it's fun. Haven't had this problem so I can't say this is normal for me or for many other people I know who play the game. Lucky you.
