View Full Version : Attempting to join game ##

Hello, I'm pretty desperate currently.

I play very often with a friend, together we played over a hundred hours the multiplayer of MW2.
But a few days ago it stopped working. Really, I don't know what to do.
I cannot join his party and he cannot join mine.
My nat type is strict since I started the first time and his always open (except when it sometimes randomly switches to strict)
It worked EVERY bloody time.
Now all we get is "attempting to join".
If another friend invites we can both join.
SOMETIMES we can join each other, like 20 minutes ago.
We played a game, then IWnet started to ♥♥♥♥ around, usual stuff, splitting us up, breaking everything. Then it stopped working.

We already tried everything but nothing helps.

And I cannot change my nat type because I cannot access the router because my flatmate forgot the passwords and I don't want to reset everything to ♥♥♥♥ up our internet.
Also why would my nat type won't do nothing for like 2 month and suddenly ♥♥♥♥ everything up?

We cannot even join games when one of us is paying a game.
I was in some 3rd person tactical ♥♥♥♥ to try that - 4 vs 3 and my friend just got "server full" (nobody was connecting, you see that in the multiplayerstats)
We cannot join each others private match
we cannot join while searching for players
we cannot join while searching for players with some players already in the "server"
steam restart won't help (did for the first 2 days of this problem)
pc restart won't help (this, too, helped for the first 2 days)
I joined an online game and left it (helped a few times, now it doesn't)

And don't just say "change nat type" or anything like that - read this post or don't bother posting.

I am hoping for some help, thanks in advance

EDIT:
I already tried searching the web but all I get are people talking about problems with their ps3 or unanswered threads

EDIT2: we now had mw2 open in the background while I was writing this.
He clicked on join and it worked.
So this is so random and ♥♥♥♥ed up, I do not know what to do

Hi, I also have the same problem but my nat type is open and so is his so I dont think its that.

Anyways, in my situation it happens when I join a specific persons lobby first. And than it does the attempting to join game. But if i restart steam completely and make him join my lobby than it will let me join his lobby. If that doesn't work we just let someone else host the lobby

I've been having this since day one. No one has given a straight answer as to what the problem is.

The funny thing is, that it occurs on a completely random basis (except for when you're having the problem with one particular player). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. (Even if you think you found a pattern like "just stay online for x-minutes and then it will work" ... well... there is NO pattern!)

If the problem would occur with every player i'd understand it, but it randomly pics somebody and suddenly you can not play with that person any longer... yay for having a game which you can not use the way you'd like it to! (And I'm just talking about using services which SHOULD work!)

It still works like ♥♥♥♥.
We just played like 2 hours with a third person inviting us in a party.
Then, BAM during the game lobby iwnet decided it is now time for a random error massage, kicking us out.
The third guy already left so now we were stuck with "waiting for party leader".
Yeah, guess what - we could not connect to each other!

Such a ♥♥♥♥ed up ♥♥♥♥, just because of this bull♥♥♥♥ I hope there is a hell where those idiots who are responsible for iwnet will be tortured for all eternity

Agreed.

Similar thing happened to me this morning. While I had myself and my buddy invited by a third person we could not continue playing with each other, after the guy who helped us out left.

I mean WTF? It is not like we couldn't play on the same server we DID it! But all of a sudden just because we... well maybe I do not know maybe we're just not pretty enough or whatever the hell it is, we couldn't play together again...

IWnet seems a bit like a connection-naz.i to me...

STOP this random connection racism now!!

ACTIBLIZZ: Pay your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ employees and let them get back to work on that ♥♥♥♥pile you call success!
