Modern Warfare 2: What PS3, Xbox 360 problems do you see?

Modern Warfare 2: What PS3, Xbox 360 problems do you see?

By: Jamie Pert | November 11, 2009 | 142 Comments

With the record breaking sales of Modern Warfare 2 reported yesterday it is no surprise that some users are experiencing problems, earlier today we posted an article about an upcoming PS3 patch for the game, now we thought we would ask our readers if they are experiencing problems.

On the whole it seems that the majority of users are not coming across any major issues, however the fact that so many units were sold opens up the potential for more gamers to notice problems.

The main issue at the moment seems to be a connection problem when playing online on the PlayStation3 (and possibly Xbox 360), we will write about this in more detail later today.

If you have notice any problems please use the comments section to answer the questions (below).

What console are you playing the game on? What problem(s) have you came across? Was this problem a one of? Or has it repeated?

  • Missing Link

    I got myself a 360 expecially for this game, now i find on top of having to pay for my broadband i now have to pay again to use it to play this game, more than the actual game itself cost me.

    Both are going back to the store to be swapped for a PS3 which i gather is free to play online and contains wireless.

  • mac.daddy.pat

    with the ps3, we cant invite our friends to our games. its the only problem that ive had but its really starting to annoy me because i want to show off my heartbeat sensor on my m4a1 to my friends

  • Loz

    come on guys sort your crap out £40 to watch the screen sit there

  • chrizjier

    I have a ps3 but the game doesn’t start anymore…
    But other games also don’t start anymore so i don’t know if its my ps3 or modern warfare>?

  • VinTheDean

    That is one of the reason’s why I love the PS3.

    It’s is free to play online and it does have wireless.

    You will enjoy it. If you need a new friend in the PS3 feel free to add me. (VinTheDean).

  • Justin

    Come on man. Xbox Live service is 49.99 a year. If you order the card through Amazon it’s 38.99. That’s cheaper than a game, but in actuality it equals one game a year. Anyways Gold membership is free for a month with a new account. Try it out.

  • Rob

    I try to sign in online and it loads for approx 10-15 mins then when its finally done it says NOTICE- Your sign in status has changed please report to the main menu! why is it giving me this? i just want to play online. I did NOTHING different from when i was playing yesterday.

  • macdaddy

    I have a ps3.. got the game on tue..everything was working fine. this morning downloaded a new patch.. and now I am having connecting issues.
    ONLINE STATUS:
    fetching playlists..
    updating Rank and Unlocks…
    Connecting to Matchmaking server…

    PLZZ help…

  • VinTheDean

    Why does this site want to bring negativity down on games. It’s just not cool.

    I have the game. I Played today and I had to install patch 1.2. I played the campaign and online with no problems.

  • VinTheDean

    Did you play the game before 10/10? if so you “may” have been blocked from online game play. For how, I don’t know.

  • james

    i have the same problem it say your status has changed report to menu i i was able to play online all day yesterday with no problem i need help

  • Alan Ng

    Vin,

    There is a known problem with inviting friends to parties on the PS3 version (I can personally agree with), a patch is going to be addressing the problem soon – which i’ll be writing a bit on soon. To say we ‘want to bring negativity down on games’ is a bit harsh!

  • BobbyBern

    Played the whole day yesterday all went well xcept for friend invites. Now this morning I cant log online I bet they are fixing the friend invite thing. My friends too can\’t log today we are all on PS3. Yesterday was working well so im not worried it will be fixed ASAP.

  • Jamie Pert

    I understand your point, but this site tries to inform users of a wide-range of problems with a wide-range of products (amongst other things), if it wasn’t for our article and your feedback users may think they are the only one out there with a specific problem.

    We are not trying to bring negativity to a great release, we are however attempting to support those who come across problems.

  • rick

    having same message to with no explanation of what that means . it was fine yesterday!

  • killer_mofo

    whoever wrote this article is being too broad, plain, and forgiving, obviously what we have here is a defective product on many levels.

    the inability for infinityward to listen to its community and allow dedicated server support for pc, plus multiple errors for ps3 & xbox software equals fail.

    i’m about two steps away from returning this product back to gamestop and telling them to tell infinityward/activison to shovel this shitware right back where it came from, the shitfactory.

    we are not cattle or sheep.

  • Tim

    Same here!!

  • Tim

    sometimes the connecting to matchmaking connects but the rest don’t, and sometimes i can’t even get to that, i get a message right after selecting online that says Connecting to Matchmaking server… and it never does

  • chris

    iv had the same problem it goes on to say your sign in status has changed n i dnt have a clue wt to do its well annoying!

  • Tom

    I would pay for a premium ps3 account with dedicated servers similar to what xbox have. that way you get rid of all the sh*t people who refuse to pay let them have these issues but not people who have a premium account

  • raceboy16

  • Sk8er

    I was playing it this morning on PS3, it had just got the 1.02 patch, now you still can’t get invites, accept them, or join them. Plus, Any online doesn’t work what so ever.

  • Sk8er

    same with me. this is really starting to **** me off

  • TiMboY7

    Chill people its teething problems. they have been trying 2 fix all day. its not cool but things are never perfect straightaway.

  • garry

    when in the lobby check if your NAT settings is open if it is not set to open and is NAT Moderate, you will not be able to join or invite party/ friends. I changed my NAT settings to NAT open and now i can join and invite. I changed my NAT settings on my router, Alternativley to test it try plugging the ethernet connector straight in to the PS3 and go hard wire, this also works. for NAT changing instruction just type it in google and its there.

  • Jack Lynch

    I got that same problem for ps3, cant understand whats wrong, i played all day yestaday, will it be fixed or is my game destroyed for good? someone plz reply

  • Jack Lynch

    you could just help people insted of taking the p**s

  • Beave

    ***PLEASE NOTE*** We are currently experiencing problems with the servers for Modern Warfare 2 on the Playstation 3. We are working to resolve the issue, but do not have an ETA at this time. Thank you for your patience.

  • Chris

    ur not the only one. the exact same thing happened to me! i heard there was a bug in the online server which made multiplayer down. they going to send a new patch to fix the problem

  • Barry mack

    Yeah go back to playing it on your big dumb ass controller!!

  • Ralph

    I have an XBOX 360 and I have some serious multiplayer issues. To make the story short, I have AT&T 6mb down, 512k up. I can connect to live and play/host any other game (with four bars of internet) except Modern Warfare 2. When connecting to a game in the lobby, it says 0/50 good games found. It takes 5-10 minutes to connect and when I finally connect, I am usually very laggy. I found one other person on the internet having the same problem as me (he had 1.5mb upload). Xbox live support say they had heard of a few issues but had no resolution (just said they were working on it; although I doubt it, because both people I spoke with couldn’t grasp the idea of me playing all other games just fine).

  • Redfly

    I have a Ps3 yesterday game invites to people on mu friends list didn’t work very well.I was finally able to get in with some people by someone resending me a friend invite,but we got kicked from the room we had to do it all over again with everyone on the list.
    Today I can’t get the game server to hook up.

  • robotnoize

    PS3: Looks like it was the amount of connections that killed PSN. They’re enabling 20,000 users at a time to connect

  • http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/11/11/modern-warfare-2-what-ps3-xbox-360-problems-do-you-see/ Kern

    I’ve got a 360 and all day yesterday was good… i left my xbox on during the day (aproximately 6 hours) which ive been doing from time to time for the last 5 years. when i got home from school i tried to go online and my game keeps freezing! i can still talk to people in my party and when i press the guide button i can hear the menu open but the screen is frozen! also, when i open the disk tray it stays on the screen instead of going to the dashboard… im worried that im the only person with this problem and my xbox is broken! can anybody help me? or at least give me assurance i’m not alone??

  • Mel.

    They need to get their **** together. Holy crap, everyone was so excited about MW2, and yeah, it is amazing MINUS THE CONNECTION BS. (I live in NZ and I always get into American servers) And the fact that I can’t connect with my friends ’cause it’s always “invaild” AND NOW I CAN’T EVEN ****** PLAY IT. I had to download a patch on the PS3 this morning, thinkin’ it’d fix everything, nope.
    All my friends are pissed, and so am I.

    Get it together.

  • Lecramstar

    Hey all.

    I’m experiecing a major problem with Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: WaW.

    When I play online, time to time, the game starts lagging. After that my xbox totally freezes.

    It keeps being freezed for like 30 seconds, then I’m returned to the lobby and I’m signed-out.

    I’m not having this issue with any other games, just the Call of Duty series.

    Anybody knows what this is and what causes it?

    Thanks

  • Mystic Havok

    Today there were problems with online play. Full clip, no death even though full Green bars for signal!

  • karen

  • sting

    Im having the same problem, only got to have a game @5.30 in morning

  • Jonny

    I have an almost brand new PS3, but the game wont start. When I insert the disc it starts to download an upgrade, and installs it. After that the game restarts, but when I come to the “press start button” nothing happens when I press start.
    I have returned the disc and got anotherone, but it was the same problem.

  • venom

    damn cant get online with ps3. xbl wasnt a problem until i got banned!!

  • AJohnson87

    Ya i got mw2 for xbox and it wont let me join any games. I can create game but it just says “waiting for 7 more players.” I can play the first MW online perfect. I dont know what the problem is… any one got any ideas?

  • Ben

    I’m playing on my xbox 360 live, and i keep on getting the same problem over and over. I move on my screen, but this doesnt move my character online. it keeps on sending my screen back to the same place. for example, i will run inside, then i get killed, view the other persons kill cam, and i’m standing out in the open not going anywhere but my legs are running. I cant play it, cos it gets so annoying. has anybody had a problem like this, and have any ideas on how to fix this? this is the only game i have this problem, so i dont think its my connection, but you never know. i play need for speed undercover, and a similar but not as good game farcry 2, and have had no problems at all… Plz Help :)

  • Mark

    I have the xbox version and when I first played it, it said had an open NAT. It worked fine. But the next day I played and it said I have a strict NAT, and now I can’t connect to anyone. I go to play and it says “0/50 games found”. The percentage keeps reseting itself. I did manage to connect to a friend but still can’t connect myself.

    I do think the problem is our NAT.

  • http://gmail.com str8pr0duct

    I bought modern warfare 2 for the XBOX 360 and I think its a great game. But, not even 24grs after purchase, the game makes my 360 freeze everytime i am about to enter a live match or a party with my friends. This a pretty severe problem considering this games longevity, like other online multiplayer games, is based on its online capabilities. i think it is rediculous that i paid 60 dollars for a product that won’t work for any reason at all. And on top of it all, i know that i’m going to end up having to go through the ringer for activision or whoever to replace it or fix the problem.

  • Nickzilla

    Xbox 360.
    my gold membership is working fine on all my games, literally just came off playing some team deathmatch on COD5: WaW.
    however Modern Warfare 2 isnt working. the campaign and spec-ops parts are perfect, however when i go on multiplayer online, it cant sign me into any matches.
    please fix this. mw2 is my new life.

  • Spike2400

    I have 360 and i have problems connecting to a game on my own, if it’s jumping in on someone elses game i don’t have a problem, igo right in. if i’m on my own it will try to start a game for 20min and nothing will happen, when i do finally get in a game it’s lagging so bad i skip across the whole map but my connection is perfict. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Jim

    I have an xbox 360 and i, all of a sudden got the “disc is unreadable” error right after i signed up for xbox live. Anybody know what happened, it almost looks like the console laser burned a scratch into the disc

  • Rich O

    Playing on 360 unable to connect to online games on my own, just keeps searching. The only way i can play multiplayer is by joining a friend with the join session in progress option given by the xbox option.

  • Russell

    I have the game on the 360, but no matter how open my NAT settings are when searching for games online it just says searching 50 potential games found then tests them from 0% to 100% and never lets me into a game… only possible for me to play through join session in prgress from the guide atm…. Not good!!

  • tina

    hi i have just returned 2 modern warfare 2′s to gameplay both with disc unreadable on. I kept trying time and time again and i also got the lines/scratch in it. Am now awaiting a refund. All other games play on the xbox 360 and yes its LIVE.

  • evilmonkey30

    i am having major problems with mw2 for xbox. first time putting the disc in,it gives me disc unreadable.it is a brand new out of box disc with absolutely no marks. if i retry it over and over again it will eventually work,but if i turn off the console when im done it will do the same thing when i try to play it again, the update never saves to the hard drive and i have this problem with nhl10 also. but all of my other games such as odst and left 4 dead work perfectly fine every time, tried to get it repaired but warranty ran out a month ago, what is going on!

  • Fabian

    Same Problem like Russells post above… damn annoying

  • Pete

    I play MW2 on Ps3 online. I sign in and during gameplay a notice pops up that says, “your sign in status has changed.” Then it brings me back to the main menu. This is messing up my level ups and status on MW2 because I can’t finished a game.

  • http://Yahoo.com Hammymiami420

    I had the same problem, it really baffles me. I bought the game when it came out tuesday, it worked fine for almost a week. Then outta nowhere the game wouldnt work, so Id switch the game to see if it was just MW2, the other games would work and MW2 would only work some of the time. Now none of my games work, and I have no idea why. I have one of the first generation PS3′s, I have never had any problems with it until I started playing MW2.

  • doug

    When i go onto xbox live and search for a game i either get disconected or my xbox freezes. i can play spec ops and campaign and online on all my other games i have also played before and this problem has only recently occured:( is it my connection? disc? xbox? or all of them?

  • brian

    I am having the same problem where it will not find a game in multiplayer and it disconnects me from xbox live. Campaign and Spec Ops work fine online, as do other games like L4D and ODST. I called my ISP and they think it could be a compatibility issue between the game and the router or modem. I called Xbox and they had me open certain ports for MW2. Still the problem persists. I am using an RCA modem and a Linksys W5RTG router, what is everyone else’s set up?

  • http://me-and-my-ps3.blogspot.com Tim

    I have a PS3 and have some lag issues, it takes time finding a game too. My NAT type on my PS3 says 2, but the NAT is displayed as STRICT in Modern Warfare.

    I have googled until my fingers and eyes hurt and I still can’t get anything other than STRICT. I have set up static IP addresses, Port Forwaded all the recommended ports, tried to switch off my firewall, hard wired my PS3 to my router and still I get the same results.

    My next step (this weekend) is to try a new router as my existing one does not have a DMZ function. If this does not work I will be requesting Infinity Ward / Amazon give me my money back!

    I don’t have this trouble with KillZone2.

  • ste

    iam also having the same problems as above connecting to muliplayer on my 360, it keeps saying searching, its only been like this for a few days but iam not happy, its ok on my ps3 so i know it not a router problem so ill contact xbox tomorrow,as the xbox is the console i play mwf2 on the most so i need it working….

  • http://yahoo Niecey

    I had my disc for one day and it after an update on Xbox 360 was downloaded my console kept putting up this error message sayin the disc is unreadable. GO to xbox.support and wat not. Kept sayin my disc was unreadable. Wat in the world can I do to get my disc to load. I checked all other games and they work fine. and my disc has no scratches

    Driving me mad…..

  • Derrik

  • Snaggle Tooth

    more than half the time i try to sign into live on my 360 elite it tells me the disc is unreadable which has never happened with any other games and still doesnt… theres not a scratch on the modern warfare 2 disc, any ideas?

  • Fran

    I’ve had the MW2 game for about 4 weeks. Been working PERFECT – even on live. No problems – connecting to games instantly. Then all of a sudden the other night – it just froze on me while I was playing a match. I thought nothing of it and unplugged it and reset it. It played fine. The next day my boyfriend had the same problem. Now – I can’t play a full game. and it doesn’t just freeze the game – it freezes the whole xbox so that I have to reset it. Is it my xbox or the game :( my bf went on COD-MW1 last night on live and had no problems at all. :( heeeelp

  • Ciaran W

    I’ve an xbox 360, i have only started having these problems recently, i’ll be playing a game and after a while it starts lagging really bad, everything keeps moving up and back, and then everything goes blamk and then i get booted, i’ve never had these problems witj any other game. It’s really annoying.

  • Ciaran W

    i think i’m having the same problems as u, does ur screen keep jumping forward and back too and then boot you out and log you off xbox live, did u find how to fix it yet? it’s really annoying me.

  • Rick

    xbox360 – When I loaded the game it had to do an update, played for 10min then locked up, now the game barely will start before system locks up, never locked up before this, patch must be corrupt, do not see a way to remove it, any ideas on correct version for this now, ?

  • RodTod

    For some strange reason between 5pm and 7pm gmt i always loose connection to xbox live while playing modern warfare 2. Just yesterday i managed to sign back into xbox live, but as soon i loaded the online section of modern warfare 2 i disconnected.

  • rob

    ok heres my problem. i have had modern warfare 2 for a week now and every time i go onto online it cuts out and says the disk is unreadable halfway through loading. can anyone help?

  • Jesse “LULZ” James

    I play 3rd Person Team Tactical and when I join a game it goes straight to a private game server with like 18 people on it. The connection is bad and most of the time it is in first person view. It is so annoying, I woke up about 12 in the afternoon and I have yet to find an actual match. It is 10:30 right now. I am not exaggerating, I took no brakes except for dinner. I was at the point of crying, I am so angry. Not just because I can’t play some stupid game but because I just wasted my whole day. I have only had one match that wasn’t a private match (I think some one is hacking their servers) and I had red connection because I live in Australia. IW, those cheap f**ks couldn’t at least build a filter which would only take a few hours so that you have the option to do things like search for games in your own region or search for people with mics, etc. They didn’t do it because they are cheap and want more space to improve in the future so that people keep buying their games for stupid reasons like better match making which should have been done years before, just like Halo 3. I hate you IW.

  • Scott

    Purchased MW2 for Xbox 360 on Thanksgiving. Console purchased about 3 months ago. Game played by my kids heavily for about a week then a ring appeared on the disk itself, and “can’t read disk” error appears on console when trying to load game. All other games work fine.

  • Pigs

    I have an Xbox, and I did not have problems until the update. Now I get a Server disconnect error. It is very annoying.

  • Pigs

    That is because you have the system on its side. If it is on its side and you tilt the system while the disk is spinning, the laser eye will scratch the disk. Do not leave the system on its side.

  • Mario

    I just got my mw2 2 weeks ago for my xbox 360, there’s no scratches on it and it’s in good condition. But as of late, whenever I try to play I can hear my xbox start clicking when It tries to read it. It then takes me back to the dashboard and says it’s unreadable.

  • Jack

    i load a map then it says waiting for other players… and its just freezes thne goes back to black screen and say timed out i can’t play matchmaking or private matches :/

  • joseph

    i am having the same problem

  • joseph

  • http://google matt

    i bought the game it worked fine for 1 week now problems like modem resets and i can only join games to play an thats gay i cant find games

  • Jeremy Williams

    Xbox 360: Have been playing Modern Warfare 2 with no issues now for a few weeks. Suddenly yesterday I was playing multiplayer when right as the match loaded up the entire screen froze and gave me a red checkerboard mesh over the screen. Totally locked up and had to manually push the power off then back on. Managed to get the game back up and played a couple more rounds without problems. Later last night tried playing again and once again played a round or two then screen froze in the middle of the match. Again, manually powered off and back on, this time when I came back in the very first time the match started I was froze up and this repeated 2 more times in a row.

    Have tried to clear the hard drive cache to see if that will fix the problem, but not sure if this is a game related issue or perhaps the game is pushing the hardware to hard and is causing video card lock ups.

  • http://myspace kiddo911

    i can play online with other players but when i send an invite or i get one i can play with my friends why is this happening? my ps3 tag is Kiddo911

  • Matt

    Same problem I have the 360 and have played about 3 games in the past 4 hours. I just sit here waiting and watching the percentage restart over and over and only find a game after about 30-40 min.

    PS3 worked fine for a few weeks. Now I haven’t been able to sign-on for 3 days. ‘Connecting to Matchmaker…’ I’ve let it sit there for hours with no change… My son uses the PS3 in the family room and he had some minor connection problems for a few hours but is playing right now. Mine in the bedroom is still ‘Connecting to Matchmaker’ WTF?

    I just got modern warfare 2 for Christmas. I ffirst beat the campaign mode, I try to play it on live and it just sits there saying it’s searching for a good game over and over. I’ve let it search for a “good game” for 2 hours+ and it doesn’t find any matches.

    How can i change the NAT settings?

  • Jamie Pert

    Well it involves logging into your router and open specific ports, there are tutorials here http://portforward.com/, however if your technical knowledge is not great you may struggle.

  • jayy

    changing your NAT settings to open? will that damage or allow viruses etc.????

    You are wrong about the PS3. I’m sure its just ur modem or rouder. My connection is great all the time and I started playing online since the 4th day it came out. But the Xbox360 is good. Both systems are excellent.

  • E-MAN

    Your right that is a reason I like the PS3 also. It was a lot to pay in the beginning but in the end it payed off with free online gameplay.

  • E-MAN

    No, I doubt there are any risks with changing the NAT settings

  • Bordyl

    I have a problem. Since the d

  • Bordyl

    My bad…

    Since the day that I bought the game, I have to be lucky to get online. I have to wait for hours until MW2 (Xbox) finds a good game to play in. And even then it won’t work.

    I also have CoD5: WaW, and there everything works fine. In 5 seconds I’m playing!

    Does someone have the same problem or can someone help me? I have to go to friends > Join session in progress to play online, otherwise it doesn’t find an online game.

    bro shut up about xbox 360 being the best. they fuckin suck. i have an xbox 360 as well and ive had to send it in 3 times for the ring of death and now i have to open and close it atleast 40 times for it to read a game. the connection on it isnt even that good. half the time online games end because the connection was lost.

  • joe

    i have a 360-the problem i have is that i just cant ever get on to games-ill try and get onto a game and itl search 4 games like it should but it hardly ever finds 1 good 1. and if it does i can hardly ever seem to join it, also sometimes ill find a few good games but it doesnt even try to join them – any ideas????

  • Beth

    Put XBOX 360 Modern Warfare 2 in my console and got red rings of death. Put it in a 2nd console, and killed that console. Microsoft told me no way is it the game, just a fluke. Put it in a 3rd console and got an error E74. Microsoft support said send back the first two consoles and they will repair them, and take the game back to the store for an exchange. Obviously some issues.

  • Goran

    Went Prestige on Xbox Live, now halfway through the game (every match), connection gets interrupted, game is dropped, then immediately I enter back the same match but without all the points. Horrible!!!!!!

  • Todd

    Cod 6 was great but the biggest issue is if you dont live in america expect lag and alot of it. So many Australians are not playing anymore because there is no point playing on a shitty connection. Also the cod6 disc often comes up with game read error usualy in the middle of a match. A lot of people i know are having this problem at the moment. Cod 6 is a great game but seriously glitchy. I’ve stopped playing now as im over the shitty connection. Bad company 2 will dick on this game hopefully

  • Frustrated!!!!!

    Is anyone else out there having problems connecting to xbox live to play either Mass Effect 2 or COD World of War on their Xbox Modern Warfare console in the multiplayer mode? Xbox support has tried to fix my console 3 times for this problem and it hasn't been fixed yet. I can play the games on my elite…but not the Modern Warfare console…

  • Hellhorn

    I’ve had the “sign in status changed” “profile changed” etc a few times now – not had it for a few weeks until 2 nights ago but luckily it let me finish the game i was on before booting me out.

    not sure if this is just PS3 related, i hope not! i moved from XBox to PS3 after my last Xbox replacement died – XBox support is mince so thought I’d go back to Sony seeing as online play was free anyway.

    did I not see somewhere that a patch had gone through to sort this problem out?

  • Sean

    My son has had this game on xbox 360 for about 2 months and has now started to throw up problems like disc may be scratched or dirty please remove and clean or when you put the disc in iy says open tray or playing DVD .I have looked on the net and alot of people are having the same problems and the manufactures are doing nothing about it .Bloody rip off if you ask me

    When I try to play Modern Warfare 2 online, on Xbox Live, it will load to where I am at, like say I was at the airport, and it will say "Sychronizing Game Settings" then when it loads a little box comes up and says "Timed out." I do not know what timed out. Can anyone help me? Thanks

  • Jay

    There is a massive connection issue with modern warfare 2. I'm sitting here looking at my screen which is still trying to load the damn game. It's been about 5 minutes so far and nothing. Some days it's fine where as others, like today, it's messed. I have open NATs so no that's not the issue. Btw I'm still waiting…

  • quiue9666

    What console are you playing the game on? Im playing in my Xbox360. What problem(s) have you came across? Well, i turn on my xbox 360 today and saw that there was a NEW sign besides Downlodable Content in Modern Warfare 2. I saw the Stimulus Pack and then i continued to the lobby of Team Deathmatch.Once in there for some reason the game started to stop, it started to freeze, and on top of the lobby, it said 0/50 good games… since then it continued like that and im not able to play… it continues like that. Was this problem a one of? Or has it repeated? I have never seen this problem in my whole time playing this game, actually this is my first time that something like this happens. By the way, some guy told me that there's a rumor that some hackers shut down the servers… im not sure.

  • quique9666

    ohh yea by the way… all of this started when I downloaded the new update for the game… i hope this information was useful
