PS3 Connection Problem Detected

GregJackson · 25-01-2009, 05:53 PM

I am getting a "Connection Problem Detected..." message flashing up whenever I play online multiplayer. It doesn't seem to matter what the ping is like or if it's an EA or public server, and makes the game unplayable.

I've tried opening port 11900 UDP/TCP, putting my PS3 in DMZ, and even port forwarding ALL traffic, but nothing seems to make a difference. It doesn't matter if I am downloading from PSN or not, or if nothing else is connected to the network.

Listing and connecting to the servers has no problems, it's just once gameplay starts. The crazy thing is that I have played maybe 2 games without any problems at all. All other online games work fine for me.

I've only been playing this a couple of days, but I know pandemonium were talking about doing some server updates a couple of days ago.

Is anybody else having this same problem?

Have you just started getting the connection problem today?

Today and yesterday - before that I was playing single player campaigns to increase my skill base, so I cannot confirm that it is a new issue.

I see I'm not the only one having this kind of problem

Is UDP 11900 the only port required for online multiplayer?

The problem seems to be gone the couple of times I tried today, so far.
I noticed the servers all went down about midnight GMT last night, so maybe it got fixed?
Will post again if problem returns.

EA Servers seemed to be down *again* at 9pm GMT. I could see public servers ok, but they were all full. As soon as EA servers were up and I connected the "Connection Problem Detected..." message returned.
