GTA 4 multiplayer on Live - Issues

kj · 10th May 2008, 06:40 PM

Is anyone else noticing weird things happening on Live? Today I was playing regular online and it was all going great, then I decided to play some ranked matches and found some lobbies with 16 players in total. But when the game started I could only see two others running around the map and when I tried shooting those two it didn't cause any damage but they could shoot each other. Also when I looked at the leader board during the game I could see all the other gamers tags but no one else had any points. It was also almost as if those two players I could see couldn't actually see me. Weird. Am I missing something here? This happened in both Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.

Both times I've tried to play with people, I've been kicked out back into the single player game.

I noticed that I'd forgotten to open Xbox Live ports after resetting my router a few months ago, so I don't know if that's relevant.

Not tried playing since setting my router up again.

I tried playing on Live for a bit lastnight, I too kept getting bumped back to the single player game, it happened maybe 5 seconds after connecting, like 4 times in a row. Then boom... was in a 16-man, ran pretty sweet apart from a few echoey voices ovr the headset.

I too haven't opened up the ports on my router, gonna muck about with this later.

Apparently they rolled a patch for the PS3 version of the game. I wonder if there will be one coming soon for the 360. The DLC comes out in August. Anyone playing tonight? I love the customisation of the multiplayer games.

I'll prob be on most of the night. Shiona's working tonight, and I'm too hung over today to do anything constructive.

If they do have a 360 patch it will probably take quite a while for it to appear, as it will have to go through cert, which takes ages, because they have to test it really thoroughly.

As long as August you reckon?

thats one thing i dislike about games this generation, half the time there is some bug that causes you problems until a patch is released 3 months later (ie pro evo ps3)

Pro Evo had the same issue on the 360, the multiplayer was unplayable. What's really annoying is the fact that Rockstar delayed the game by 6 months to polish it up. WTF were they doing? Maybe I'm being a little harsh.
