OuTLawZ-GoSu Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I started a new game, saved, press UP on the Dpad. Then I selected Multiplayer. I see a message, " Connecting to game provider..." then after about 5 sec, I get the message, "Cannot connect to game provider, please try again later." What's goin on?

Asystole Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Neither can I. "Cannot connect to game provider, please try again later." I'm getting that message if I try to access multiplayer on the PSN at the moment. It WAS working earlier, though would constantly say disconnected from server returning to single player. I figured it was my net so I had a fiddle around with DMZ but that sorted out nothing and I was still getting the same problem. Now I just plain cannot access multiplayer, as it says the above. Anyone else.. ? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/336327-cant-connect-to-multiplayer/?do=findComment&comment=1057975068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asystole Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I got the suspended message too, briefly, whilst testing my internet settings / connection on the PS menu. Don't believe it actually meant personally suspended, more that the service was suspended for one reason or another. Let us know what is said :] Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/336327-cant-connect-to-multiplayer/?do=findComment&comment=1057975136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asystole Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I was trying to open up ports earlier when I accessed my homehub (router) options. It was asking for me to allow a device and an application but I needed port numbers for the application. Any chance you could post them? :> Or will they be different for each copy of the game?

OuTLawZ-GoSu Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have the same problem on PSN.I can't load Social club neither. What's Social Club? everyone's talkin about it. Btw, I think that they're just doint maintenance on their servers. The same thing happend with World of Warcraft when it was released. It took about 4 weeks to get everything workin right and lag free.

Mr.Aaron Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 A buddy of mine seems to be having a strange issue with this game, whenever he connects to my game he gets in fine but as soon as my other friend connects in it kicks my other buddy off. Then when my friend trys and connects back in it kicks my other buddy off....if that makes any sense its kinda hard to explain. I am thinking that there routers are rejecting eachother or something, what ports does he need to open on the 360 version? Thanks Guys Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/336327-cant-connect-to-multiplayer/?do=findComment&comment=1057987801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
