Unable To Connect to Host..?

xoEuphoricxo · #1 02-17-2008, 02:37 PM

Everytime I try and connect to my friends game I get a message that says " unable to connect to host"
FYI: I used to be able to connect now I can't

If anyone knows how I can fix this post it here thanks!

If you have a router make sure its not blocking anything... might just be a problem with XBL though

I'm having the same problem. I am not able to connect to most of my friends.

I get the same thing happening to me on the PS3. I can't invite to my party while in the main lobby and when I AM able to get on with my friends we end up on different teams. HELP!

The exact same thing happens to me. I have a 360 as well. Also, whenever I try to find a match, many times I will wait and wait and nobody joins up, but when a game actually does start, every single time, right when the countdown ends, the game says, Draw, the host has quit, or something like that and the game ends. This is very frustrating.

When joining a friends server, it is real slow and gets stuck on the "setting up game..." screen. however, other friends connect with no problem. Any ideas? This is for PC.

I get the same as the guy at the top. "Unable to connect to host". It seemed to work fine a bit ago. My Nat was open then changed to strict. I have had it re-opened however, now it doesn’t let me join my friends. I'm just out of ideas. Any help would be really appreciated. (Xbox 360).

I get an error on the PS3 for 90% of the friend invites. It's been this way since the patch. I'm running through a DMZ with a NAT type 2. I don't have any issue playing other online games. I didn't have an issue with lag or accepting invites until the patch.

My clan got this game so we can play together...we can't so we don't.

This isn't a new issue, it's been posted by many on the PS forums. fourzerotwo has seen these posts.

I'm not a happy consumer.

Fix the PS3 servers IW

Thank you
