Modern warfare 2 invite problems *** UPDATED ***

[DJ-Daz]

The game session you were invited to is no longer valid ???
I had no problem with invites last night, and neither did a lot of other people.
But after doing a fair bit of googling, it seems that the whole World is having trouble.
It's almost certainly a server issue, as servers cant handle all the extra invite packets as well as match making.

Hopefully it'll be fixed by installing more servers, just like battlefield 1943.
It should be fixed soon if thats the case.
I've put up a blog post, so if you have found some work around, please let us know.

I've noticed that a few friends have actually been playing thanks to the inbuilt leaderboards.
But when I look at my friends list in XMB, they've been offline for over 20hours.
Now there was some small maintenence with PSN today, and I'm now wondering if its that thats the cause of invites not working.

[DJ-Daz]

One possible solution is to join a friends session, you wont always be on the same team, but at least you can join friends.
To do this, wait for them to be in a party or game, then hit the PS button, goto friend, and then TRIANGE, and select join session.


Good news though, there might well be a patch by Friday this week, thanks to Astro for the heads up.

Well this would explain why I couldn't connect to RV last night

[DJ-Daz]

Funny thing is Al, it worked fine until around 5am.

i thought the other patch was to put in a option to play or not to play the airport misssion and caused issues with invites and trphies now?

anyways.. i could join ppl, then it just completely stopped workin after about 7pm lol

beta - qa - give it to me next time please lmao.. im sure these companies play with no friends.
And u get "we cant test retail enviroments" - well u could.. if u wanted too..ahh well - just have to mow some ppl down with a turret lol lol

The patch has come, and it's now VERY VERY BROKEN.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE PATCH!!!!!!!!!
If you do, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PS3.
If you do download and turn off your ps3, you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIGN IN TO PSN.
It maybe a permanent problem too, if you cant sign in, you cant repatch.


Potential fix, delete the game data and patch, dont delete the save game.
Reinstall, but dont down load the patch.

Anyone with a twitter account, please retweet this.
I like many others are hearing strange noises coming from my PS3's Bluray drive, and at £130 to fix, I just cant afford it. So please RT before we are all left with a dead drive.

@fourzerotwo @ATVI_Randolph Give the ps3 an install please, before modern 2 warfare kills the bluray drive. Please RT

How to fix the INVITES
Delete the friend then add the friend, then invite.
Trust me, it works.

[DJ-Daz]

Another way
Invite friend
Friend goes offline
friend comes online.
friend accepts invite
Done!

It seems MW2 is a bug infested game

[DJ-Daz]

Hey 007, nice to see you back again.
It's not too bad tbh. Could be better, no doubt losts of fixes will be on the way.

[EUK007]

Yeah, i'm hell busy at work and was assigned on our office in Bahrain for 2 weeks. But im back again and will be raping cunts tonight on the battlefield.

Btw, is MW2 like COD4? If it is then i'll pass on this game. I'll rather wait for BFBC2

[redVENGEANCE]

mw2 to cod4 is like the fury addon to wipeout hd

yeah basically its a cod4 map pack with a new single player campaign

[InfiniteStates]

...and will be raping cunts tonight...

LOL dude your use of language is so eloquent. Must have the laydess falling over themselves in the queue...?

My main concern with MW2 is that the disk is almost constantly accessing. This is going to kill your drive quicker than you can say "new patch?"... Does it do this online too? I've only played a couple of hours and forgot to notice.
