Battlefield 3 CO-OP with friend Connection problems

**saumiyan** · 11-22-2011

As i was trying to play a co-op mission with my friend the other night, we couldnt play together as the game stated that there were some connenction issues. "connection lost"
This happened when both of us tried to invite each other. Dont know what the problem is.
Is there very specific way to inv. for a co-op game?
we tried many times, and again after a 1 hour or so.

Is anyone else experinsing the same problems?

been doing Co-op missions for a few days now and never had that problem

**saumiyan** · 11-22-2011

you chose the option play with a friend, then invite?
When you do^^ it says " waiting for friend to confirm" or something like that as you wait?
appreciate any reply as fast as possible

I had a few issues last night, but it was with public games. I tried a few times on Drop 'em like liquid, but I don't know if they were quitting of if they we're truly getting disconnected.

I've had no problems. Buddy invites me and we play with no connection issues.

I'll tell you an issue I did notice and might be yours as well. I have my PS3 direct lined to my router, but I use wifi for my phone. I kept getting dropped from matches in multiplayer. So I turn the wifi off on my phone. I haven't been dropped from a game since. Also, if you're downloading something from PSN while playing online it causes issues.

okay thx, will check in to it. do you know if its possible to inv. through the menu then go to co-op or do you have to be in co-op while you inv.?

I've had this issue a few times just with regular multiplayer matches. I usually just log off psn for a minute or so and then log back in and its fine. Not sure about the invite deal, I haven't played any co-op games yet.

I never had that issue in co-op, and trust me, I've played a lot of it. I suggest going to your Network Settings in the XMB menu and checking your signal strength if you're running a wireless setup. It should be 80%+ for a nice smooth gaming experience, and plus, decreasing the amount of wireless devices connected to your router by cutting off its signal helps too (which is what I do to my laptop whenever I play). Hope it helps!

Oh btw, do you and your friend live in different regions from each other? I'm not sure if that could be a huge issue or if thas an issue at all but I think it might cause some latency or connection issues

hm, havent taught about that, will check in to it

I've had a different issue; finishing a round but the points do not tally up afterwards. It's happened twice now (in a row actually), so I haven't touched co-op since. Perhaps it would work correctly now, as I was trying to play on launch which is usually never a good idea.
