Subject: Why do we keep randomly disconnect on the 4th set for Endure!?

Is this a known bug or something? We'll have no lag the entire game and it will just randomly kick us out during the 4th set (with 40-50 lives remaining...). This has happened multiple times.

We are all playing from the east side of the US, we're not in a party during the game, we appear offline so no one will message us, everyone has installed their ODST disk to the hard drive, all other sappers of bandwidth have been turned off by each person, we trade hosts, we tried not stockpiling too many weapons in the Alpha Site elevator so there won't be too many guns for the game to handle...

I have run out of ideas.

Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

Ooh that sucks. Maybe playing at a different time of day (like off-peak hours) will help. I'd also suggest everyone check the quality of their Internet connection by using speedtest.net and pingtest.net. If any problems are identified, then fix them and hope it works.

We've tried at different times of the day but it didn't help unfortunately.

So, I finally got the Vidmaster Endure achievement. For those who were having the same problem I was, it may very well be the people you are playing with. Through playing other firefight maps for the 200k achievements, I narrowed down who has the connection that drops at random times. Turns out though, that it was two of the guys who were in the original Endure party; this is why it seemed like it was a game issue. So after trying Endure with both of them, and then once with each of them by themselves, I tried it with neither of them and we successfully made it to the 5th set sans lag out.

One thing of note though, one of the guys who kept causing the lag out had a wireless connection while the rest of us had wired. Not sure if the other guy did too or not but if you're having the same issue then try to have everyone wire directly to the router.

Good luck.

Yeah connection quality is definitely not as good when using a wireless connection. A person walking in the path of the signal could be enough to throw ODST off.

Congrats on getting Endure!
