Public Starhawk BETA

[scope6]

Just a note: I kept getting the Failed to Connect message, several times over about an hour. I had not played a single game but kept getting the message, trying all combinations of create, join and matchmake, with near empty and more full servers. 

In the end I got on to a game by doing a matchmake for TDM only. That worked and had a great few games.

Just hope I don't have to go through the whole process again next time... 

I hope it is not something similar to Warhawk, which has a similar issue where for me over the last year or so only about 1/10 attempts to join a server is successful. I seem to remember that was something to do with my router potentially (to do with sub ip addresses or something) (Netgear DGN 1000), but I never bottomed that out.

The only issue I've had so far is when a message appears in-game saying something like NET STALL. I don't know if this is meant to be happening, but it stops the SQUARE BUTTON from responding and in some cases this means being stuck in build view.

Hello StarHawk team.

1. Got message "an error has occurred and you were disconnected from server". Or something like that, I keep forgetting the precise message. After that I'm in a title screen.

2. About every 40-50 minutes.

3. -

4. Wireless

5. DL Speed - 2.8MBps, UL Speed - 2.63MBps. Russia, Moscow.

Repeatedly getting "failed to connect" message when attempting to join a game.

It's difficult to gauge the frequency but I'd guess that it's 80% of the time I try to connect either using server view (which to me contains a lot of inaccesible servers) and also using the matchmaker.

I'm using a NAT2, wired ADSL2 connection with 10mb down, 1Mb up on a Netgear router which is stable for all other purposes.

Secondary to the above I often see the net stall message on the end of game screen. Most of the time it has no detrimental effect and recovers. Unfortunately this isn't the case all the time and sometimes leads to either the black loading screen infinite loop or a failure to spawn upon completion of the level load.

I haven't been able to connect since d/l the public beta 2 days ago. I know the issue is being looked into, but it is very off putting.

I suspect many have given up and when the game is actually released I can see many people including myself saying ''Starhawk? Oh yeah, the game that wouldn't work. I think I'll give it a miss.''

Do you not have people who think ahead and ensure expected problems are avoided (''Oh, there's too many people attempting to play'' doesn't sound like a very good excuse)?

[DeBaal]

No, I give up. Delete and forget.

Dear Sony, in future please do not send me e-mails asking me to download games that do not even perform even the most basic function of their remit. I don't like having my time wasted.

Good job, how to advertise to customers to stay away not only from your games, but to treat your e-mails as spam too.

And you're probably paying your execs too much for providing such bad decision making.

****EVERYONE WHO HAS SERVER CONNECTION ERRORS****

At least in European time, after 8 pm GMT the servers are always down for maintanance and updates so your server connection problems might be because of that.

8 pm in the UK

10 pm in Finland

12 pm in Moscow (Moscow is 4+ GMT right?)

If this isn't the cause then I have no other explanation for your problems.

****EVERYONE WHO GETS FAILED TO CONNECT****

There are some buggy game servers that when you try to join it gives you "Failed to Connect" message. You can't do nothing about it because its server side problem.

The only solution for this is to memorize the servers name and never try it again. Try to join different servers.

If this isn't the cause then I have no other explanation for your problems.

Hi,

I am playing now the 6th time and I experience everytime the issue "Failed to connect". I have to try to connect multiple times, but once I am in the game it is pretty stable.

Thanks,

Andy

Very difficult to join games either through matchmaking or from the list of games in progress, 99% of the time results in failed to connect message and the game goes all the way back to the opening press start screen instead of back to the game list which i a bit inconvenient. only managed to join 3 games in3 days and i usually have to start my own and then wait a couple of hours for it to fill up with players.

frequency - everytime i try to join a game

connection - wired

nat type - 2 (open)

up/down speed  6.5Mbps / .48Mbps
