Its a bit hard to give advise on connectivity help as so many thing can be wrong but check the basic stuff first,

firewall open?
anti virus off?
any ip filters?

Mystic if you wrote to me then, No it's not problem on my side. Everyone in the world is had/ some still having laggy problems cause of their servers. Remember cod waw? The servers were so crappy you make a server and its full in like 10 seconds... Cause they had no servers no nothing.


(P.S. i used to make TDM with SD settings using console, Spawn killed people like crazy!!! :) Was the first person to reach Prestige (It's true i ain't bragging!) So after i gotten prestige got bored of the game)

P.S.S. cod waw lightning and gameplay isn't so good worste of all cods, the blurry aim ruined the cod waw... newer/older cods still made me and the rest happy :)

My last post was directed at voidsource and his connection problems, i wasn't aware there was a global issue so my apologies.

I haven't experienced any problems, apart from the odd disconnect, and a bit of lag on some servers everything has been pretty smooth.

I'm not a fan of the spawn system so far though, needs work as most of the time i spawn right in the open or either next too and enemy or within a zone a group of enemies are defending... Very fun MP so far though (apart from the mortars).

And since im giving my view, i was also disappointed with SP, It's just so scripted, you stuck on path and if you try to explore at all you get told off for leaving the zone, im also having to wait all the time for my team to catch up in order to open a door or something so i can get on with the level.. The visuals are great, but if you took that away the experience is very mediocre at best.

yea i mean i disabled my AV, disabled the firewall....the only thing and the last thing that they said could be an issue was the ports but for me i doubt its that. I will still give that a try now if i only knew how to do ports stuff i would then know for sure if its their crappy origin. Even when they gave me a "digital copy" it would not connect to dl it from origin....frankly im getting tired of trying everything to just play the damn game....if this last port thing fails then imma just ask for my damn refund and go reserve mw3. Never have i had an issue with a game like this game has given me..and its just a game not even software program that helps me with other things such as Photoshop, afterfx etc....really dissappointed in all already bout bf3, even their damn reps dont know how to fix the issue.

Try this.

You may need an external program to allow the game to install or update. It may help you connect.

HotSpot Shield is the name of the program. Just try it. Do whatever it takes to get the game working. The devs are trying to fix the problem.
