Borderlands is a first-person shooter RPG from Gearbox Software that puts players into the shoes of one of four playable characters as they traverse the hostile planet of Pandora in search of a mysterious "Vault," said to contain priceless unknown riches and alien technologies.
So, I got the game. But I wanna play with a friend of mine, who has the game too. The problem is, that everytime he selects "online game" in the main menu of Borderlands, or anything else related to the internet, he gets disconnected from PSN. Has someone experienced something similar? It kinda sucks in my opinion Thanks in advance for all your great replies :D
@EchoEchoEcho: i am also experiencing it but instead of me being logged off the screen flashes black and then it doesnt load the online menu that i havent seen with the 2 copies of the game that i have had(i thought it was a problem with the disc so i got another one but i still dont work) gggggggrrrrrrrr
@EchoEchoEcho: I've had some minor connection issues, but not to where it logs me off completely. Try resetting you internet connection on the XMB. Might not work, but if you hadn't done that, it might be worth a try. Good luck friend. The game is fantastic online!!
The only problem I've seen is my friend would lag out when we zoned into an area and he wouldn't be able to shoot or jump and couldn't see me or any enemies. He switched off of wireless and to a cable and it went away.
He posted that problem one week ago and probably does not have that problem anymore since a patch was released a few days after his post to fix that particular problem.
I've encountered some weird disconnects, but their placement has never been consistent. All I can suggest is that your friend reset his modem/router and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, you're pooched.
i had this exact problem. i had to disable my routers firewall and now i play fine. before wtih the firewall enabled i couldnt get past the checking for update screen i kept getting booted from psn.
Okay Here the thing i brought this game a few months back and it has now started to give me problems. When I am playing online it will suddenly black out which means the tv will turn black for a second and then come back on. Later when i want to get in another game it will freeze and not let me. I have to restart the entire game just to play another game. Can someone tell me whats going on here?
