Deadshot Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Alright, obviously I'm brand new on the forums and I've been looking around for a solution... The majority of the time when i join a multiplayer game (95%) i am either sent straight back to the server browser, end up in a empty lobby or get a "disconnected from server" message. The browser says there's people in the games, but I can never seem to get in them... Any help?

Deadshot Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I want to know at least if this is normal or if anyone else is having this problem...

MrChainsaw Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I got that message when I had memory leaks, especially it started, when I joined Multiplayer game. Do you have any memory leaks while playing Single Player?

Deadshot Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 i've never gotten a memory leak in single-player...not sure about the network problem, every other game I have for both PC and consoles works fine online, though any advice on what I should check?

viGx2 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I too have this problem. Everything runs fine single player. But I get kicked about %50 of time for having a strict router. Before the first patch I would get kick for either a strict router or my computer is running to slow. Hopefully there will be a fix for it soon. I have the DVD version.

Bluezman Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have the very same problem. Sometimes I get the "router is too strict" message, sometimes I just get "Disconnected from Gaming session" or I just land in an empty lobby. Google brought up some stuff about port forwarding and changing the NAT in your router. I am no network guru, but I understood, that apparently there are some ways to make it work by compromising your network security. Basically there is a problem to connect to all the other players (hence the empty lobby) and if you just open up a couple of ports, it will work. But then you will be very vulnerable to hackers, so I decided not to do that. There must be another way...
