OMG I hate them so much [:'(][:@][;)]



HOOWAA -> RE: Help - unable to play online (11/29/2006 8:09:35 AM)

Have you put the PS3 naked on the wire yet D ?



DamonRipper -> RE: Help - unable to play online (11/29/2006 10:03:22 AM)

No, but I really don't see the point.  Internet works, I am online when I log in.  Need for Speed works online.  This tells me there is no connectivity issue.  Of course it could still be a port blockage or something specific to TW, but the problem with that is nothing has changed.  I have a static IP for my console that is in the DMZ, so should have no port issues.  As of now, I think it is one of two things. 
  1. There is something amiss with my username on EA's side.  I honestly believe this is the case.  The error I get is indicating I am not logged in to EA servers, although I am to Sony's.  My PS3 account is the same name as one of my personas on PS2, but not the same as the master PS2 account.
  2. Possibly some kind of DNS or other network issue with my ISP.  I highly doubt this as I have had zero issues in this area.

I might try the direct connection tonight just for piece of mind.



HOOWAA -> RE: Help - unable to play online (11/29/2006 10:36:48 AM)

The point is totally one of troubleshooting and process of elimination.

If it still doesn't work you can say that the DMZ/Firewall/Router/NAT/PAT is 100 percent AOK for TW2007.

If it does work you can say that there is a problem with one of the above for TW2007 and start eliminating eliminating that.

It is my personal belief that EA Sports games has problems with NAT and peer to peer gaming on consoles.  There are countless threads on the subject for MANY games on PS2 and I see them now on the PS3.  The "problem" is that the problem isn't for everyone on every game, it's a percentage of users and as such you are getting the form letter because they don't have a clue as to what the problem is. 



DamonRipper -> RE: Help - unable to play online (11/29/2006 10:52:43 AM)

I agree Hoo ... I will do it tonight.  I honestly hope I am wrong, because my end will be much easier to fix than something on EA's side.  [:'(]



FM6CT -> RE: Help - unable to play online (11/29/2006 11:31:38 AM)

Could it even be the copy of the game itself ??? I know that there isnt a DNAS security check anymore for the PS3 ... but couldnt it be bad or missing code on the disk itself ??? [sm=damon_dunno.gif]



DamonRipper -> RE: Help - unable to play online (11/29/2006 7:27:55 PM)

I got some slightly encouraging news [:)]


Hello,

Thank you for following up regarding your inability to connect online with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 for your PS3 gaming console.  At this time, our online engineering team is doing a series of tests regarding various subnets, netmasks, and the IP addresses assigned to them.  Currently, we are aware of this issue and we are further researching this issue with other ISP's.  We are trying to determine if certain ISP subnets are preventing your connection from reaching our servers.  I apologize for any inconveniences this has caused.  However, once I have more information available to me I will update you regarding your issue.  It is my hope that we have answers some time this week.  In the meantime, please ask your ISP to issue you a new subnet and see if this helps you connect online.  Please let me know the outcome.  Again, I apologize for any inconveniences.

Nice D [8D]



DamonRipper -> RE: Help - unable to play online (12/5/2006 7:18:00 PM)

Yeah, so I can spend even more money on another of their shoddy games [image]http://www.thegamesvillage.com/forums/image/s7.gif[/image] [image]http://www.thegamesvillage.com/forums/image/s7.gif[/image]

I have to admit that their customer service has been much better than expected for this ticket.  Either I just got lucky, or maybe EA is trying to get back focused on the customer [image]http://www.thegamesvillage.com/forums/image/s2.gif[/image]



TDAWG23232 -> RE: Help - unable to play online (12/5/2006 7:20:36 PM)

I hope it's the latter



DamonRipper -> RE: Help - unable to play online (12/5/2006 7:24:15 PM)

I hope this gets fixed, as this may be the best TW ever [8D]



MarkoC -> RE: Help - unable to play online (12/5/2006 8:53:28 PM)

I felt the same way; infact I had decided to myself that it was undoubtably the best ever.... until I couldnt play online with right-stick [;)] ... '04 gets the nod once again [:D]



DamonRipper -> RE: Help - unable to play online (12/6/2006 6:30:04 AM)

Mo, you can't swap the sticks on the StormChaser can you?  I know you can swap everything else [:)]



flybynite -> RE: Help - unable to play online (1/7/2007 2:37:35 PM)

Damon, did you ever get an answer to this problem?   The reason I'm asking, I have the same exact problem[:@]  I have been banging my head against the wall, I have triple & quadruple checked everything, I can go online just fine except it won't log into the EA servers.
