If you wish and have a PS3 (?) add me and we can test at some point later today, say 19:00 GMT? my username is: treadstone </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
OK, cool. I'll send you a friend invite (RiquezJP) but 7pm GMT will be tough for me as I'm in Japan. Thats like 4am here LOL. (GMT+9) I might be able to catch you if you're playing morning/afternoon at the weekends.
**UPDATE**
I had an email from UBI tech support. Here is their suggestion...
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Technical Support regarding Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
In order to respond to this email, please update this incident by clicking on the "Update Question" Button at the bottom of this page (Please do not create a new incident).
Please try the following (This goes for both you and your friend as we don't know from which end the problem is):
- Disable your internet connectivity for the PS3. To do this scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Settings' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Network Settings'. Now scroll down to the Internet connection option and press x, now select the disable option. Once this has been done unplug the ethernet cable if you are connecting to the internet if using this.
- Disable the consoles information board. To do this scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Network' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Information Board', highlight this and press triangle. From the menu select 'Do not display' Press X to confirm this.
- Disable Media Server functionality. Scroll to Settings, now scroll up / down to 'Network Settings' select Media Server connection. Once this has been done press triangle and change the option Disabled.
- Delete all of the systems internet cache. To do this scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Network' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Internet Browser', highlight this and press X. Once you browser opens press the triangle button once, from the new menu highlight the 'Tools' option and press X. Scroll down the menu until you reach 'Delete Cookies' and press X. Confirm the files deletion. Repeat this for 'Delete Cache'.
- Once this has been done manually restart you PS3 by holding down the power button for 5 seconds it will beep once and then shut down. Release the power button and re-press it and hold for about 5 seconds. The system will then boot and reset all display settings. You will prompted to reset your display settings to how you requrie them.
- Once restarted please try the game again
Now try playing the game as normal. Do you experience any difference?
If you still have trouble then you may have a firewall interfering with your connection. Please configure the following network ports within your router:
TCP 80
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
UDP 1953
TCP 195
UDP 21326
UDP 3658
If the problem persists, set the router to DMZ mode or connect the console to the Internet using a modem and update the firmware in your router. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
*** UPDATE 2 ***
I managed to play with my buddy tonight!
2 things changed from before.
a) He is in the UK & received a patch for AC:B today.
b) I had PORT 80 forwarding to my PC on my router & I tuned that off.
Now we can Accept invites & play in a group!
*** UPDATE 3 ***
I set port 80 back so it forwards to my computer & we can still play together, so I guess the answer was the patch for UK users.
