Subject: Banned 3 times due to acts of god.
  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

I have been banned for the third time in two days because of stuff that is out of my control, Either being randomly disconnected from the servers/xbox live or host switching booting me out of games.

I could understand if I got betrayal kicked or I left the games of my own free will (as I did several days ago, which is now causing the problem) but it is not right that anyone be punished when its server side stuff or other peoples bad connections.

Everytime I sign in it prompts me that I will be banned, Can I ask how long do I have to wait until this gets removed?

And is anyone else experiencing this feel free to rant or give solutions.

What I find funny is now I typed this, I am now able to play lol, but my question still stands.

It's a figure of speech, and don't even start that.

Anyway, OP, are you using a wireless adapter? I used to never get disconnected from XBL, but now that I have an adapter, I get disconnected once every other day or so. Also, host booting in this game is incredibly rare, so it's likely something to do with your connection.

I know, but I couldn't think of a phrase where other peoples actions determine another persons fate. and that felt too long to put in.

fear me, for i am pro sauce

sue god, its the only option

quit ban is messed up, you should have to quit 5 out of 10 games to be banned and then it gets reset after the 10 min ban so you have to quit another 5 out of 10 games for the next ban

Yes, a wireless N adapter I think. And I never get disconnected on any other game since having bought this one.

That is true, the only thing I can think of is not play for a while so the probation gets reset.

The quit ban doesn't reset after you get the 10 min ban.

Everytime I sign in it prompts me that I will be banned, Can I ask how long do I have to wait until this gets removed?

I feel for you. I live in an older home with sub-standard wiring that will never be upgraded. The landlord is a cheap-skate and refuses to replace anything until it breaks. So if someone accidentally starts the microwave while I am online in XBox Live, there's a damn good chance the power will blink for a second that sometimes causes my router to lose power. To prevent it, I have to remember to unplug the PC on my APC and hook in the router instead so I have battery power protecting it while gaming. Yes, it's a pain.

As for how long, I've seen that message last for no more than three straight days after getting nailed with the ban - which thankfully has only happened twice in over a year of playing Reach.

Wow dude, that really sucks at least you got a good system to prevent cut-outs though, shame your landlord is an ass I guess finding another place is out of the question.

I am having a similar problem recently,
I am playing away,then i'll go blackscreen and it will say connecting to new host then it will say all other players quit and will leave me as the game winner, it will still give me credits and stats post game,but on my bungie game history it puts the game down as a loss with a DNF.
