Modern Warfare 2: PS3 Party Invite problems to get patch fix
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
As most of you will be aware, the PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2 has already been patched up to v1.02 to combat trophy problems, but we can confirm that a new patch will be available by Friday which will fix problems with party invites.
I spent a good few hours on the game myself and I too, had problems inviting my buddies to my party. From my experience, as soon as I received the ‘Invalid Error’ message, I could no longer connect to anyone, period.
However, I did work around this problem, as I found that a simple PS3 reboot solved the problem, and around 4 friends were able to jump straight into my party straight away. If you are suffering from the same problem, try rebooting your system (both of you if needed), and see if it works for you.
Infinity Ward are already aware of the party invite problem and have stated on Twitter that a patch will be available by Friday.
Let us know if you are still having problems with party invites on the game.

With this game in the making for over 2 years, and most likely finished a month or two ago I find this extremely unexcusable. IW got our money, and now we have to wait until Friday to play online? How about I pay THEM on Friday, they wouldn\’t like that. And for those people saying that is not a big deal, SCREW YOU, we paid for a completed game, not one with bugs and glitches. IW knew there would be hundreds and thousands of purchases on Tuesday. They should have been ready. And they will be ready for more of our money with a bunch of new map packs with only one or two good ones out of four.
unexcusable would be if they knew the problem was there and refused to fix it.. they dont have to fix it.. but they are still going to patch it.. quit your bitching.. there are always bugs in these games.. the inviting problem is the only thing wrong with this game that i can see.. so quit bitching and either play the game or don’t..
You can play online ya idiot, just can’t invite a friend. You’re about the most negative person I’ve seen online. Piss off back to the first modern warfare and play “Headshots” in a cage match all night long… retard!
@ Chris T. -
I totally agree with you. This is inexcusable from Infinity Ward. As I type now it is impossible to get online and play the multiplayer game. I think Activision servers are down. It is disgusting. There should be legal remedies for this shit. I’d love to make the b*stards squirm in court.
For the people whining and crying about law suits and court over a game grow up. If u noticed the game went flawless other than the trophies until about 3am eastern time and then went nuts on everybody.I know for a fact that the game worked fine up to this point. Maybe you should ask one of the 20000 people that got it 3 weeks ago or a week early,I’m sure they will tell you it worked fine. because I’m more angry about them having it so early.so on that note if you people are that mad go play the glitch kings game from treyarch and have fun on the repeat WWII game, I’m sticking with MW2. Kudos to infinty ward you really know what we want in a game and screw these nerds that don’t have a woman or a life to look forward to.if any nerd in here thinks they can make a better game maybe you nedd to look into it as a profession.
The online play is the part of the game that probably 90% of users will spend most of their time. To release a game with such a glaring bug is atrocious.
And I personally feel that too many of the maps in the multi-player are too similar in design and layout. Very lazy if you ask me.
SORT IT OUT IW!
Try going into the network settings and Testing your network connection. That worked for me the first try. No reboot required. The Bugs on launch day…. What can you say? Play the damn single player till the patch comes out. It is a freaking awesome game. Good lord! Stop freaking crying. What are you guys 12 or something?
Really? I had to download a patch that made online play stop working? WTF??? Class action suit? Alright
Yeah play single player or speciel ops I love playing the space level or play a diffrent game…
all i can say is infinity ward … why no BETA then none of this would of happened
Good call rigo, it’s a cracking game, get the practice in!
But us a bit of a pain if I can’t get online today, it was fine till update today, I jeep getting message – ‘conectimg to matchmaking server’!!
To the person who said that the PS3 multiplayer will be down until a patch is released on Friday, where did you read/here that? That is a rather long time considering they should have had this stuff better anticipated…

it is not a glitch Demonware server died. Causing mass error messages to Sony’s server, which made it block all #MW2 connections to prevent PSN fail. psn can allow 20,000 ppl to sign in at once, and then allow 20k more, and then 20k more. 100’s of thousands at once killed it.
