Timed Out? 360 BUG

(3Suns) #1

I just jumped online to play Brink with my friends - some Friday night gaming - and we can no longer connect to each other. They are in Canada and we are in Japan, but before the Title Update we were able to join each others’ rooms anytime. Sometimes we got lag, but most of the time not, because I have a very good connection and would host the games whenever possible.

Please tell me what I need to do to be able to play the game with my North American friends.

My connection:

So, was the Title Update just a region locking update?!

Admit it, you’re just posting this to show off the superiour Japanese Internet infrastructure. :tongue:
(yep, I’m a bit jealous.)

I would expect that the title update changed the matchmaking but it should not really have an impact on connecting directly to friends. That’s just an uneducated guess though.

Darth, thanks for replying. As you say, I can understand if matchmaking now decided to lock me out of all North American games, but not private matches. I should be able to invite my friends into a private game, no matter what the lag.

I have another question.

Is there any way to check the update version number of the game?

We are playing the Asian version in Japan, on Japanese/Asian Xboxes. Not once, have we been notified that the game is updating. I have assumed that this is because the game was always updating in the background - or that our connection was fast enough that it actually didn’t register, though this has never happened with any other game.

Is it possible that we are still playing the game without having received a single patch? That somehow the updates are not being served to Japanese IP addresses because the game has not gone on sale here, yet?!

I think that actually might be entirely possible, I’ve experienced this playing titles in the EU that were only out in NA at the time. Will see if we can find a real answer.

Exedore, thank you very much for replying. Standing by for whatever concrete info you can provide. :slight_smile:
