ModNation Racers Online Discussion

[Sicilian77]

I am posting this in hopes that it will prove useful in diagnosing the problem.

As of today I am able to (sometimes) connect to the Modspot online, which was a rare occurance.  However, as soon as I try to enter an online race I am immediately disconnected.  Nothing new there.

Here's the weird part:

After I'm disconnected from online, the Modspot is still full of real people.

Other PSN users are still in the Modspot, driving around and doing their thing.  I can see their online info and everything.  However, I still have the infamous red globe of disconnection (let's call it the IRGOD).  When I try to reconnect to online, it won't let me.

This is very strange.  Obviously I am still connected on some level, otherwise the other users wouldn't be in my modspot, right?

Anyway, I hope that this description is of some help in diagnosing the problem.  I'm on Verizon DSL (7 mb), and have all the correct ports open.

Another person who's ISP is verizon.
I'm starting to think that everone whos ISP is verizon needs to take their game back.

Sometimes, when I am connected, nobody is in the modspot. Sometimes when I'm disconnected the modspot is full of people.. Maybe the races are provided from server 1 and modspot is server 2. that's the only thing I can think of this stuff happens. If anything runs correctly you're connected to both, but if server 2 fails you can't connect to races either.

Don't know who or what (if anything) this affects, but if you go to playstationblog.com they said that they are doing maintenance on servers today and people may experience problems. I think they said from 8:30am to 8:30 pm Pacific time. I would go there to read up on it. I do not know if this is related to Modspot though?
