Posted April 8, 2010 Anyone else having a problem with Live. I installed the update and was un-able to go online at all. Couldn't invite friends into games and visa versa. I did sort it out, had to re-start my internet router and Live adaptor and it fixed itself. Something about the NAT the console was telling me. Yeah sounds like ur NAT type was 'Strict'. A friend of mine has had this problem alot in the past. Hopefully it's just a once off but if you start getting the problems alot there are various articles on the net they say how you can make it better. I think xbox's offical website has one and i know they have brought it up on a sentuamessage episode in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope so, i don't particulary want to re-start everything everytime i want to go online. Wonder if MS will bring an update out to stop this from occuring.

Posted April 10, 2010 No, they won't, it's an issue with your router settings and not the 360's fault. Look in to port forwarding for your specific router and open the Xbox Live ports necessary and the NAT issue should go away. Not sure what the ports you need are but it's a simple google.

Posted April 13, 2010 Finally conquered Gears yesterday, after a 3+ hour battle with RAAM (don't ask, he was rock solid). Only way i can describe the difficulty really is that Casual becomes Hardcore, Hardcore becomes Insane and Insane becomes Impossible when facing RAAM. He is one tough s.o.b to beat. Which means i can begin Gears 2, and make a dlc purchase as well. I believe the All Fronts pack has everything i need, for a bargain 1600 ms points. Just need some points and i shall be done. If anyone fancies an online session, let us know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2010 I beat GoW1 on Hardcore in co-op, it was great fun but very frustrating at times. Didn't really have many problems with RAAM though if I remember rightly. Completed GoW2 on Normal mode because thunderer lost interest. Epic fail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2010 Shit yeah I remember RAAM being a bitch on Insane, even when playing co-op. I think it took me and jayseven about 100 attempts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2010 I think when I did it with a friend we got lucky and Raam glitched or somthing so I unloaded a few clips of active shotgun in his balls, with seemed to do the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2010 I played both Gears games with Retro_Link and, yeah, RAAM was an ass on Insane. God knows how many attempts it took us. Whenever one of us died it would go something like... Die -> revive -> other guy dies -> revive -> first guy dies again -> both dead... I think in the end Retro died and I just thought "fuck it" carried on unloading on RAAM and somehow killed him! I don't think there was anything like this on the second, then again I'm not sure if we ever played it on Insane?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I remember you somehow downing him in the end much to both our surprise, as it just sort of 'happened'... nothing done differently to all the previous attempts... just 'ah fuck it'... gun blazing, and he just went down! Role on the third!! Edited April 13, 2010 by Retro_Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2010 I'm playing the multi-player of 2 atm, pretty darn good online i must say. Only got 1 kill in and over 10 nearly's on the first mode. Ok, i am annoyed they keep picking 1 kill per round all the time but i guess that makes better players in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 14, 2010 mentioned it on the other thread but (so far) I'd say the fishmonsterthing definitely cuts it close to RAAM - while not stealing the title at all, but surely worth a mention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 16, 2010 My XBL Gold ran out ;_; Going with 13 months from Shopto instant delivery for £32.99, unless anyone knows of a better deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) My XBL Gold ran out ;_; Going with 13 months from Shopto instant delivery for £32.99, unless anyone knows of a better deal? I don't sorry mate. That seems a good price, wish i got mine at that price. £34 mine cost. I've had more NAT problems, seriously starting to annoy me. XBL worked around 8pm when my mate came on for a Vegas session. Problems started coming back around 9:30 during the GoW2 session we had later (Horde, Execution and War modes we played). It started out Strict, then went to Moderate, kicking my mate out of the party and refusing to let me back online. Luckly Russell Howard was on BBC3 at 10:30pm (when nothing worked online), so i took a break. I jiggled the Router settings again, picking IP number 4 as the one to have the open ports this time around (i set the router IP by accident). Re-started the 360, 10 minutes later and nothing worked still. Turns out my 360 didn't have a dedicated IP, so no wonder nothing worked). Changed the IP and changed a setting in the router menu to exclude 4 from the firewall rules all-together. This has worked (this time). Hopefully no more problems, or i may scream. Managed to get back on at 11pm, had a session with 4 randoms (Horde mode). They seemed to like my style of play, they were on about not playing with level 15 and below people as they deemed them not good. I could have stayed on all night, no-one was dying because we stuck together and revived as and when. We got to 15 before we all died (around 12:15am) so i left and went to bed.

Posted April 16, 2010 Are there any settings on your router to reserve an IP address for a particular MAC address? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 16, 2010 Are there any settings on your router to reserve an IP address for a particular MAC address? Pass, i typed in the IP to my 360 and in the router, and it all works fine for me at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Can't fucking buy any points from shopto. Seriously sick of this... I have tried to buy about 10 things from shopto in the last 6 months and either they won't let me because I don't have any card details on file or whatever (even though I do) or haven't made enough purchases... or they just never ship the item because I'm not a "Gold Customer". They used to be such a reliable site. And gamepointsnow doesn't have any cards in stock.... ffs. Fine, I'll try eBay. Edited April 16, 2010 by Shorty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Thanks Ike. I had already bought a 12 month sub from ebay at £29.99, but I just used that link to get some MS point, 2100 for a very reasonable £15.99, code was delivered instantly On a side note, I've been playing [Prototype]. It's a lot of fun! I prefer it to infamous already, and the huge jump is brilliant, even better than the one in Crackdown.

Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Been cracking through Fable II, trying to get the remaining achievements. Got 4 left. Was wondering if anyone could give us a hand with possibly these remaining 4. Need the following, would be appreciated. The Dollcatcher If anyone is able to help me with these, send us a PM please. Edit: Only need the Dollcatcher one now, anyone willing to lend us them for 30 seconds (thats if anyone still owns the game).
