server problem?

Why is it that you start a game, and in the middle you get an all players are disconnected screen? Is this my connection, or simply a problem the servers have? If this keeps up, the multiplayer will die; it is hard enough to find a game without losing connection and all progress. I really enjoy the game, but not enough to keep having problems playing it.

I think that could be your connection. When the host disconnects and drops the game it usually says "Server has ended session" or something like that.

On xbox at least, One way to tell whether you've been disconnected or if the host dropped the game is to look at your players list and see if the other players in the game are still playing.

It's probably your connection if it's games that you are hosting. Similarly, it could say "connection to host lost" if you have joined someone else's game. The likelyhood of all players losing connection at the same time while your connection is fine is slim to none.

Make sure you have the appropriate ports open in your firewall, or even better, put your console in a DMZ. The game goes peer-to-peer for the game play, so the host is the server.

The Problem with the Server is that i'm having right now, is that when i try to contact the Server for game it says that the Server is not avaiable or something in that manner?

I have to create a Game in Order to play, does anyone else has the same problem?

Yeah occasionally - for me it says "search error" then a big number. It usually stops doing it after a couple of minutes and it doesn't do it that often. (PS3 btw).
