View Full Version : PS3 question -- trouble with on-line play

Over the past week or so I have been having difficulty with trouble playing COD on-line. For the past few months this game has played perfectly on line. I have had my PS3 for almost 2 years now and it has never given me a problem.

But as I play COD WaW recently, my game keeps getting intermittent signal. I will start the game with 4 bars of connection strength (4 is max), then during the game it will constantly fluctuate, often going down to 1 bar (where it just "skips" around and is unplayable) or even just disconnect me. My friends who are playing in the exact same match don't have any troubles.

I have Verizon Fios and I have tried playing both wireless and wired and neither seems to work. I don't think it is a problem with Verizon because recently I have opened my laptap to check the signal strength it was receiving when these PS3 issues occured and the signal is always excellent at 54M.

I reset my router. I even called Verizon and they rebooted everything for me from their side. It seems to be specific to PS3 because my family computers (3) are all working fine even when we do stuff like watch streaming video where it would be easy to detect a faulty signal.


Anyone with any suggestions?

Thanks.

They've been having a lot of issues with their servers over the last few days..( meaning the COD game itself ) So, I don't think there's anything wrong with your ps3...I was having the same problem Saturday night and I got tired of getting booted so I decided to play some Socom Confrontation and I was able to play online just fine...

Multiplayer problems with a PS3 ? Getting booted ? I've never heard of such issues. < End Sarcasm >

I have never had issues before and the only reason I'm asking is because the other five or six people I am playing with are not experiencing the same trouble as I am.

I got the PS3 online capability to work for about a month. Then it stopped working, so I bought a 360. Problem solved.

CoD is working fine for me.

You might have to set your DMZ router to Z or something like that. I'll try to find the tutorial for it.

Works fine for me. Is it only COD or other games also?
