What Is Wrong With Live?

[quidmonkey]

Been spiking all night.

[MagGnome]

I was having problems with Steam too - maybe the Internet Gods are angry!

[StarGypsy]

I blame WoW.

[rinichanraar]

Yeah, we were in the middle of finishing up wave 48 on Gears 2, and all of a sudden, everyone got logged off. Boooo. :mad:

[UWCrash]

Someone flushed their pet alligator and now it's clogging the pipes!

This was the G-rated response. I'm not in a sinister mood.

[MagGnome]

I think we'll see more of this when the NXE goes up next week. Hopefully it won't be as bad as last year. I had connection issues for weeks!

I don't fucking know. Before you invited me to Left 4 Dead, I was getting disconnected every couple minutes. Since you put me on the spot, I'd suggest that this is due to a Microsoft-sponsored pre-NXE push to crash Live.

[jacob.armitage]

you know, i was playing WoW and getting some pretty rad lag spikes.

[biosc1]

If we all start blaming these internet spikes on WOW the terrorists will win...

(it did sign me out earlier while playing GoW, so I stuck with single player)

[UnderHero5]

I got signed out too, along with every one else on my friends list.

I'm sure it's completely unrelated, but my internet browsing has been VERY slow the last few days, and I keep getting disconnected from AIM (yet not losing my internet connection).

Is this a modern sign of the Apocalypse? (with Bruce Willis)

[Grifter]

It's the beginning of the end boys, now that the zombie kings greatest invention "the internet" has successfully scrambled the brains of 80% of the human race it's time for phase 2 to begin. Unfortunately there are not enough resources to both keep "the internet" functioning and support the impending harvest so unfortunately your....err I mean "the internet" will be the first casualty of the

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!

[astranoir]

I was RB2 band battling on XBL tonight, and we were doing an awesome job, but two out of four songs in, we got an "error disconnected from LIVE" message :(

[MalReynolds]

no problems here

[Variable Gear]

Lucky bastard!

Major Nelson (http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/11/14/having-xbox-live-connection-issues.aspx) says they've noticed the problem and are trying to fix it.

Are you subscribed to his twitter feed or something? Nice tip, by the way. :)

[KamaItachi]

I didn't have any problems, but a lot of folks on my friends list kept reappearing and disappearing.

RSS feed, actually. I spend way too much time checking new items in Google Reader. :o

i have a data push sent right to my phone. its really a problem for me.

[Shadowstorm]

I had terrible connection issues with Steam last night.

[DigitalFirefly]

Just wait til NXE is out in full force.

[bapenguin]

If the NXE update goes through without a hitch it'll be a miracle. Switching 14 million members from one set of servers to another and everything that goes along with that is going to be very interesting for sure.

[MagGnome]

I had terrible connection issues with Steam last night.

My friends and I did as well. Were you playing L4D? I think that the new update released yesterday has caused a lot of issues.

I did take the opportunity to pre-load the game though, at 800KB/sec. :D

The network will probably come screeching to a halt. I'm having flashbacks of last year's Fall update, which put my 360 out of commission for weeks. Hopefully the NXE update won't be the same way.

[MalReynolds]

ya i never had a hitch but i do live in canada so :P

[Gerbs]

My XBL is still broken. Anyone else?

[wyeast]

Mine wasn't broken earlier this morning, but it appears to be down now. :(

[MalReynolds]

im logged in but i cant play any games on live ....... Im sick of this shit -.-

[OldJadedGamer]

I played COD5 all last night and Gears 2 all this morning with zero problems. Maybe it's regional.

[Zero]

Goddammit! I'm trying to use the license fucking transfer tool and it keeps fucking booting me.

[TheSilentDeath]

My XBL is still broken. Anyone else?

Mine was good till 1 then I logged out, and now 2 hours later it ain't working period. Thank god it's not just me, I was fearing that my router was fucking up the connection.

[MalReynolds]

im logged in just when i search for games to play or try to make one it freezes up on that and wont let me go back

[Shrinn]

I'm unable to recover my gamertag as well. Frustrating.

[MagGnome]

My 360 got the RROD today, so quit crying about Live being down! :p

In all seriousness, I'm going to spend my weekend playing PC gamers. Fewer problems there. ;)

[Norse]

I haven't experienced any problems today. Yesterday I had a lot of issues, but that's because my internet connection kept dropping out.

[squirrelTactics]

I did take the opportunity to pre-load the game though, at 800KB/sec. :D


8MB/sec :D

[MagGnome]

8MB/sec :D

Well aren't you just the cat's pajamas. :p

[Orca]

I was gone last night, but I never noticed any problems playing today.

[Suave Peanut]

I haven't been on my box today (outside of watching DVDs) but I was having some trouble with the Web site earlier.

[Elrik Murder]

Past week I've been getting randomly disconnected. Maybe it's a massive scale RROD.

That's why I think they are slowly moving folks over already. It's not a beta, it's just a soft launch.

[pseudopseudo]

I was playing both GoW2 and CoD4 today, and didn't run into a single problem.

However, I hold my head and weep for the situation that I'm sure the NXE will bring. What XBLA game are we getting for free this year? ;)

[Suave Peanut]

Banjo-Kazooie? :fingers crossed:

[Jackel]

I've been trying to update my GFWL setup on Fallout 3 and it just seems to keep crashing.

Hey, you are suppose to be depressed. No insightful funnies ;)

Sorry.

*goes off to weep in the corner*

[Murtaug]

Feeding Frenzy. :p

Best not be knockin' the Frenzy.

[MagGnome]

Best not be knockin' the Frenzy.

No, not at all. ;)
