EA aware of Bad Company 360 "issues" News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Suggests you try turning it off and on again.

EA is working on a solution to the Xbox 360 server connection troubles in Battlefield: Bad Company.

"We are aware that some Xbox 360 players are having issues connecting to the Bad Company servers," admitted EA on the Bad Company website.

"We've been monitoring stats non-stop and are working with several partners to locate any possible flashpoints and eradicate any hostiles we encounter."

Until then, the publisher suggests turning your console off for 20 minutes before trying to reconnect to Xbox Live multiplayer. Jump In.

Battlefield: Bad Company went on sale last weekend and has recruited an admirable squadron of scores.

Head over to our Battlefield: Bad Company review to see why this story-driven and character-focused spin-off in the series will "build up a strong following for all the right reasons".

I take it that's why I couldn't find any games in progress last night. Hope they get this sorted quickly.

That is one of the dumbest things I have read in a while.

I restarted my router which solved my problems on saturday. Saying that, last night I couldn't connect for love nor money. Servers were completely down.

Oh God, that is painful.

"Quick, talk like the kidz and show them you are down with them and stuff, before they get angry that their game doesn't work"

Reminds me of that Natwest advert.

After the problems with the Demo, and Dices past reputation, my only surprise is that any would be surprised with this news.

Oh noes, teh xbot is teh doomed!

Even though I guess I am in the PS3 camp (seeing as I own a PS3 and not an 360) , I shudder at the thought of how many references at this very minor and soon-to-be-patched issue will occur in the ongoing forum wars over which console platform needs to pack up an die.

It's not a big deal; curious to see how much the "face off guy" will make out of this tho.

Fab4, I would like to mention that this is an Electronic Arts product/servers problem not a Microsoft one, but your use of the dollar sign instead of an S nullifies that...

Well what else do people expect when DICE is making the game.

The BUG fest that was the Battlefeilds on the PC was enough to keep me away from Dice games forever.

There was a Beta and a MP demo, I suspect now their purpose was to show off the game rather than informing Dice with bugs.

Glad I resisted buying this game straight away, still not sure if I'll pick it up at all.

I find that signing out of XBL and back in again does the trick usually.

What about the cheating? In particular the humvee exploit?

The BF2 360 servers were ratshit upon release too. EA had it sorted after about 2 weeks and I never had any problems with it after that. I expect it will be the same with BFBC.

Experienced the problem once so far and it sorted itself out after about 5 minutes. Loving this game
