LIVE problems: keep all discussion here

this is only the 2nd time for me that it doesn't work. i might have something to do with the new year. cause it only jacked up for me one time and its wasn't a long time a few weeks ago. whats embarasing is how long microsoft will let this to continue.

anybody else notice other things are jacked up, like certain other web site.

I would like to make a quick comment on this XBL crap.

I was a network engineer for 10yrs, and worked with hosting companies for 15yrs. I suspect that Xbox Live might being getting a DoS attack (Denial of Service). I believe this because look at their post, why are they not saying what is happening? Why are they not going into depth with their legacy users or something? Plus MajorNelson's comments have been more than telling with a DoS attack. If you know anything about these, they occur with a flood of packets to a host network or IP address. This causes latency and in and out connections. Because 'Nelson has stated that it is "slowly getting better by the hour" indicates to me that the DoS is dying down. This would more than likely be the case because of the port forwarding that has to occur in order to have an Open NAT. Easy target for 'hackers' maliciously trying to attack someone.

Ok not a DoS attack? Alright, then why would a billion dollar company not invest in higher capacity networks in order to support the mass of new users over the holidays? Or the release of video streaming, downloads, new front ends?

This might raise more questions then answers, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

can someone please help me. Everytime when I try to play guitar Hero 3 online,I got to quickmatch, searchfor a game andit says joining game for like almost a minute and eventually never does join the game. I can play online for guitar hero 3 in custom games but not quickmatches. Also I can play Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 just fine online (and my other live games) so I do not think it's my connection that's the problem.

I knew there wuz going to be a sticky on this, and ive only played like 4 games of TF2, I really want to try out the sniper more.

ARG!!!!

Just to throw this out there, Live tends to work better later at night for me. I don't know if it's the same way with anyone else, but, again, just putting it out there.

Anyone else STILL having trouble with connecting to private chats on live? I haven't been able to join one since before Xmas.

Jeez...ever since that new Live update, everything has been so much slower and glitchier. I don't even like the new Live. Of course they had to screw it up when it was starting to get normal.

I've notice when you look at how many players are on line for COD4 before choosing a game type that under 150,000 works fine. It's when everyone gets home from school or work and signs on that it begins to time out on everyone.

am i the only guy who doesnt have a problem w/ xbox live? and what is good about PSN?

And I really can't get Microsoft, they're the only console w/o wifi and u still hav to buy the wireless adaptor.....

I hope they would make the Xbox live Gold have a reasonable price....
