"Disconnected from game session error"

[mrweng]

After looking around on the internet i can see that hundreds of people have been having this problem, but no fix seems to be available.

 

The message i get is "Disconnected from game session, returning to single player"

 

I opened the right ports which "apparently" are meant to make the game work better, but nothing has changed. I rang up Rockstar and they tried to help but couldnt do anything... i also rank my ISP and they didnt have a clue either... all my other games work fine except this one and midnight club LA.

 

What is there i can possibly do to get this game working properly?

rockstar is the problem lol

 

mine also worked for ages i took of the ports on my router by accident

 

tried without them and it didnt work now i go back to put the ports back in and it still doesnt work only lets me connect to 1 or 2 player matches lol this is really annoying me for 3 reasons

 

1. it should work all my other games do

2. even after opening ports it still doesn't work

3. it was working before

this is gettting really annoying

 

my software firewall allows GTA4 no problem

 

my GTA4 did work a month back

 

i have turned off the router firewall and it doesnt work WTF?

 

atm i have my ip addresses static and these ports forwarded:

* TCP 80

* UDP 88

* UDP 3074

* TCP 3074

* UDP 53

* TCP 53

 

and it still does not work and before anyone says i have tried other ports and about 15 different combinations and i really cba to do anymore when i forward them i use portforward.com checker which says my ports are still closed WTF? GFWL also reports UPNP disabled when it isnt and network discovery is on this is getting on my tits

 

what happened when i first got the games was i left it for a week which is what im going to do now

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but my multiplayer was working fine before I upgraded my PS3 firmware

to version 2.70. I contacted playstation and they told me I need to forward ports on my router (mind you I had

not done any configurations on my router prior to the PS3 firmware update and multiplayer was working fine.

 

I have a Linksys WRT310N router and my PS3 is direct internet connected. So, I forwarded all the ports in

my router and went through all kinds of other fixes I could find on the internet. Turned off the Media server

on the PS3, etc. I even tried messing with the DMZ settings on my router which ended up being a big mistake

because my entire internet in the whole house went down.

 

The errors I still get are "you have been signed out of the playstation network" and "the connection to one or more

players has been lost. returning to single player mode". Every time I check my internet connection to the PS3,

everything is fine with that. So it's not an internet connection problem.

 

What pisses me off is when I finally find myself in a deathmatch that is actually enjoyable, I get bumped out mid-game

and everyone on there thinks I'm a wus and gave up!

 

If anyone on here has had similar problems, please provide some insight.

 

Thanks.

I opened up the DMZ on my xbox 360 so all the ports were open and i am also still having this problem. Why the f*** cant they just make a game as simple as possible.

[Batman Bill]

Yeah, this is a terrible problem. I've been trying for like 30 mins now to get a game.

[Frank White]

Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet if you have put your xbox in the DMZ and port forwarded all the right ports?

[Frank White]

there has to be someone in the world that knows how to fix this or that knows it cant be fixed?

the problem here is rockstars servers. they dont want to face the fact that their servers are terrible. keep on calling and e-mailing to complain. they will have to do something eventually.

i think i may have found a solution.

Disabe windows firewall and install comodo firewall free from www.filehippo.com.

now i can enter any multiplayer game without and diconnection errors.
