ekouser Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) hi, so i have tried playing online this game several times and i always get a message saying ''connection error - check network settings''. the thing is that i have played dozens of games before online with no problem at all and the worst part is that when i created a new account and started the game i had no online problem at all, i even got some trophies!!!! i have contacted EA and their only fix is to restart router and contact my network provider. how can this be right since i can play the game online with new account? please, guys any ideas? edit: if anyone helps me solve this problem, i will send him a psn network card as a gift Edited October 7, 2012 by ekouser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekouser Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 no, i have the same router from start and the same settings. furthermore what i did was to start the game on my main account, tried to sign in, got connection error. immediately changed account to a new - blank one i have, started the game again, played a bit online, got an online trophy also and again straight away changed to my main account and still nothing. i have done the above a couple of times now with the same results. since EA is supposed to be working on my problem i keep testing the game often but same problem all the time. its very weird because i asked EA if my main account i banned for some reason and they say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Have you tried getting your friends list down to below 20 people? It's a long shot but it's worked for similar problems with games of the same age as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br3akingdawn Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 old topic but I am still having that isssssue!! >< ill never get the damn plat for this. so annoying. again like the OP Burnoust Paradise City server doesnt like certain PSN ID, because I created 4-5 IDs and they all work connecting to BPC server. I have also contacted and wasted time with them because everything is linked properly. Like F it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Below 20? How does that work in this situation? Just curious in case I ever run into this too. It's all to do with the fact the max number of friends you are allowed to have on the PS3 has increased several times over the years but some games can't handle such large Friends Lists so you end up with connection problems or issues with inviting people. Since the PS4 came out, this problem has become more prevalent but most games are still able to handle the situation. The main games that I know off that have this problem are: AvP Injustice: Gods Among Us Battlefield: Bad Company 1 GTA 4 (this problem was partially fixed a while back) Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 The Orange Box I'm not 100% sure but I think Operation Flashpoint 2: Red River has this issue as well . Once you have deleted enough friends and reduced your list to anywhere from 75-20 people, then your connection problems will go away but this is only a temp fix because the problem will come back once you go over that amount again. Whilst some games do get patched to solve or partially solve this issue, many don't . old topic but I am still having that isssssue!! >< ill never get the damn plat for this. so annoying. again like the OP Burnoust Paradise City server doesn't like certain PSN ID, because I created 4-5 IDs and they all work connecting to BP server. I have also contacted and wasted time with them because everything is linked properly. Like F it is. In your case this sounds like an issue a friend of mine has with Far Cry 2 where he has trouble connecting to people because his PSN ID has too many characters in it. I'll try and dig out the relevant thread and get back to you .
