Annoying things happening on PS3 multiplayer | Forums

None of my settings or hardwear have changed, but multiplayer seems to be growing a bunch of problems for me just now. Anyone else having difficulties?

After almost every Shift ot Checkpoint Rush game I get disconnected or the game freezes making me having to reset myself all the time. A real pain.

The freezing thing is happening more in other races too, I'm fed up driving around and around after a race (or even between Sprint rounds) waiting for the save icon and the results to come up which they never do.
A couple of Sprint tracks are happy to ignore your car which is great when you win and score 1 point as you've only crossed one checkpoint according to the server. Better still was the one a minute ago where after crossing the finish line all the race display disappeared from my screen and we were all suddenly in an endless free roaming dimension of pointlessness where Sprint #2 never arrived.

More amusing was a flashback to Driver One. I got rammed (I get rammed a lot, I think my car has a target painted on it) through the scenery into a side street with the race barriers all around me so I couldn't get back to the track and got, yes, 1 point.
I love Driver SF, but I think it hates me, and Ubisoft hates us all. Maybe they're just bored of Driver now and nobody's doing any maintenance on it. Shame, there's lots of new players on there who must be getting put off.

Hi please be assured the developers are looking in to the freezing issue. Have you contacted technical support? as they may be able to help.

That's good if they're looking at it, I know it's not just me after talking to a few other players. The good news is that I was on for an hour last night and it was fine, didn't play Shift racing though, I'll try that again next time.

I didn't talk direct to support, I did that when the leaderboards went down and the process was too stressful

Cheer up lol, my multiplayer doesn't even work I'm on PC though
And I've been told they're looking into this issue 2 months ago... really?

What exactly is your issue KINGmatan? I solved mine aswell maybe I can help you!

[PTC_68]

Still doing it. Playing Shift races is pointless, around half the time it ends with you driving around waiting for the save icon and results screen which never comes.

Fix it please.

Game freezes when I enter the multiplayer lobby. I assume you solved the crash-when-entering-friend-list issue. Well I had that too, and while I fixed that and deleted friends my game crashed and since then I wasn't able to play anymore. Thanks a lot Ubisoft...

Yeah, but it seems like it crashes when it has too much to load. Like the friends list for example. Maybe it's the same issue with the lobby? Do you have a bad connection perhaps? Because maybe it would need to "load" more or something, and that causes it to crash? I don't know but we should definitely find a way on our own to solve this. We also managed to solve the friends list issue, so we don't really need Ubisoft
