Communication glitches.

[hagame]

Here are the issues that friends, club members and I encountered last night (X-Box 360 version):

1. In freeride mode, friends needed to be targeted on the map and jumped to to see and communicate with them. Communication was not always available.

2. once we were visable to each other, if one of us jumpped to the map, the connection to the other player was lost. You then had to go back into the map, target the player and re-jump to the area to see and communicate again.

3. Once we figured out how to lock to players in freeride mode, voice and visibility seemed to work ok for multiple players until some players viewed the map. At one point I could not see my friends again anywhere but the map even though they were waiting for me in the exact location i was in. We think this was because we Isolated our group, and then, when someone jwent out to the map and tried to get back, the group was still isolated but without the player who went to the map.

Mostly, the communication with friends issues in freeride revolve around looking at the map. Could you please look into this?

Well First I would recommend checking your nat settings I heard that could be a factor. There are several posts about nat settings you may want to look at for more detail if needed. :up:

That seems to be everyones answer for every problem. Unfortunately, that is not what is causing it. NAT is open. On all 3 machines. It is definately a software program. We sat in an intersection and tried multiple things for about 1/2 hour to QA what it was doing.

If Network setting say "Open" you're good to go! But because you're having a probelm conncting to your freind doesn't always mean it's you. I've had a problem where my friend ended up getting a new router, ever since we could never connect to each other like in halo or pgr mainly because his router didn't like my IP adress or something deeper I dont yet undertsand, I thought it was me, but when I tried to get him to run a network test it came up "Strict".... yep, thats my story. Ask your friends to test thier connections, simple as that.

I'm not saying it's me. I'm not saying it's my friends. I believe it is the software. Try doing what I said at the start of the thread with one of your friends. The same will happen to you. I have had others try it and they experience the same problem.
