    So I just brought Fat Princess (and it's really fun - also, check out the credits for something mindblowing, and I dont want to ruin it for anybody ;) ) BUT I've only had one game, and suddenly I keep getting the error that I cannot join the host.

    Is anyone else having this issue? Is EVERYONE else having this issue!?

    Seems that a couple other users are complaining of the same thing. I would guess that it isn't working for most players right now.

    Yeah, same here, along with everyone else I know who bought the game. Oh well. What's a new game without a few online issues?

    Though, I was able to jump in on one game. Of course, that was one out of dozens of tries.

    I'm getting on pretty fine, there are a few small bugs, but this happens on all launches for a game like this, it should be ironed out in a day or two.

    I have only been able to get in games a few times and they were a bit laggy.

    I think the lack of a server list is pretty annoying as well.

    I've been able to get into 3 games, but they were pretty laggy. I tried about 6 times and failed.

    Does appear to be some issues, but other than that it's a lot of fun. Can't wait for them to be ironed out. I'm 100% with you about the credits!

    I've been getting game after game lately. I had problems last night but it seems fine to me now...

    For those having trouble finding a match maybe we should just set up a Giant Bomb game or something?

    My time with Fat Princess so far has been very enjoyable for the most part but I have to agree that there are some issues with the online right now, but I think that is to be expected when a game of this magnitude of popularity is released.  Just look at BF1943.  I have been in full games that ran nearly as smooth as a single player game and that was maddeningly fun, and I have been in games where there is a noticable delay which hinders the experience a bit but is still good enough to play.  I have yet to encounter an amount of lag that makes the game unplayable, however I have run into the problem where it can't find a game and keeps booting me to the title screen.  This happens about 3-4 times in a row on average before it can place me.

    Wow, thank goodness (sort of) that other people are having issues as well. I thought I was the only one, due to my not so great internet connection.
    Yeah, it tooke me nearly 15 minutes to get into a match. After getting into one, I experienced lag the whole time. It's not unplayable, but I'm never sure if what I'm doing is really happening or if I'm alredy dead but just don't know it.
    Hope it gets fixed soon.

    Yes, I think that's the best thing to do right now. It's not as if it's completely broken, but the experience is not as it should be right now. There's the single player, of course, but it just isn't very fun.

    yeah...its broken i cant get into a single game and since you cannot back out of joining a game or finding a game your pretty much stuck till it tells you that no game is available or you cannot connect to the game.

    Yeah it's pretty bad for me, it takes about 6 tries most of the time to find a working game. When I eventually get in though I can usually go for 3 or 4 rounds before it trips out again.
    There have also been a couple of times when the host has left the game and it fails to find a new one.

    In my ten tries of going online only one was successful, and even then I was disconnected from the server in four minutes for no apparent reason.

    Also I have to say that despite its charm that comes from its distinctive art-style, I am already worn out of its gameplay. It's way too simple to be of interest to me in the long run.

    I'm almost 100% sure that the actually map server aren't run by PSN, instead they are run by players. Basically, the Jump-In option is just to find a open slot in a map. If you aren't having luck with it, its probably because you aren't able to find a room with a open slot. In that case, try to open your own game by going to play-with-others-control freaks.

    how many players get to go into a map you create depends on the speed of your connection

    I hope that helps.
