Getting mighty annoyed with GRAW online...

GuruJockStrap · 10 Apr 2006 at 23:06

Now I love the single player campaign of GRAW. Completed it on normal difficulty and currently playing through on Hard. I also love it online...... When you can actually play!

Few things I hate:

1. Finding a game takes ages. When you do, you're sat in the lobby, the games 2 minutes in with 30 minutes to play. So you decide to wait then...

2. Just about to join and you get disconnected! Or you start the game and within a minute you then get disconnected!

3. If you decide the leave the lobby because you don't want to wait, it then takes an age to search for a game, bring up the list and then join.

And don't mention about my Router/Connection etc. I can quite happily play hours of PDZ and PGR3 without a single hiccup.

Its utterly frustrating because when I find stable game, I love it!

Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Worst designed lobby system ever, and regular disconnects

Not played it but apparantly Ghost Recon 2 on the XBOX 1 has exactly the same lobby system! Sorry, but have Ubisoft missed something? This is a "Next Generation" console and game. I expect to be joing games faster and far more easier.

I think one of the problems (apart from shoddy net code) is people trying to host too many people on a connection that simply can't cope. Inevitably people get disconnected.

I joined a game that had a max of 8 people and it was great without a single hiccup.

I can put up with the lobby system. I just hate being disconnected after waiting X amount of time!

Have to agree with JimmyEatWorms.

My mate hosted a game with a few of the lads and even then some people were randomly being disconnected.
