Default Connecting to Paradise City Servers...

Anyone else keep getting stuck at this screen when trying to invite friends for a freeburn - I've had it work just once for me and it was an awesome experience prompting me to A) play burnout revenge again with some friends and B) Pre-order the game.

However, if this is going to be a continuing problem I might cancel the pre-order so I'd really like to know if anyone else is getting stuck at this screen and if there's a fix for it? Other games work fine on Live and my settings say that my NAT is 'open'

cheers

Did this problem occur today? There is usually server maintenance on a Tuesday morning (as outlined in the Terms and Conditions), so this may be the cause of the problem.

No unfortunately it happened last night, and the night before and the night before that :-( I've had some friends able to connect but I couldn't, no idea why as its worked before - is there any trick to getting it to work at all?

Not that I'm aware of .

You may be better off contacting the Support Team about it then, as I'm not sure what could be preventing you from being able to play .

I'd appreciate it if you would let me know what they suggest (and if it works), too .

I'm sorry I was unable to be of any more help to you .

guys try turning your pc off and disconnect from the modem the resset modem then start up your console

i have a feeling its cause you are sharing your internet connection with the pc and console

PS3 > PC

PS3 Browser < PC Browser

that sums it up
