[TheSupaJawa]

Jeez thanks dude.

[DKSeanboy]

im gettin it too its fkin bs

[kenna98]

Thx man !

[ztahua1]

Im Always getting this message "you have lost connection the session", i've tried many ways to fix this (including this) but I still get that message... could somebody help me fix this, i would be so greatful is somebody did.

[Ih8drewdrew]

I tried this and still get the "failed to join the game" message ... I really hate EA games

[huiren92]

@Ih8drewdrew at least it displays error messages, not like windows 98.

[HaimeToroPath]

Only problem is now, the only servers I'm being displayed are ones where I'm missing one or more DLCs to be able to join, and I'm back to square one... Thanks though, it was helpful.

[KiNGkhakys]

thx bro it worked for me . like

[aqwcc4]

I never had any problems with BF3 until I updated and now can't join anything, one thing I have to give COD over bf3 is that you join games instantly on COD but COD is no where near as good as BF3

[skullwarrior9]

What about the campain im on the second mission and i can get that bomb off then when they start battling out side i get to them then it says lost connection with ea wtf

[budimanbujang81]

well it didnt work for me

[Mollanbo040]

It worked for me. Thanks man!!! I hope this problem wouldn't come back. Take care. TOOK ME FUCKING 39 MINUTES, since I wanted to play till solution

[baaroodii]

dont worry i bet DICE is trying to find a fix for the problem currently as were speaking , dont loose all hope yet

[DeBawss]

You are awesome!

[JellyToTMonsterz]

THANKS DUDE YOU ARE GOD!

[jack00521]

Still not working , to many people are experiencing this problem why doesn't dice announce it ?

[reitifoh]

@jack00521 they don't annouce it because the moment it becomes public sales will drop, i know for a fact if i had known these problems i'd have bought modern arfare 3 instead

[jack00521]

@reitifoh i got them both but i like bf3 more then mw3 but this problem is really pissing me off. But both games have their problems.

[reitifoh]

@jack00521 well i for one am going to wait 1 more week max, and if they don't fix it by then i'm going to report them to trading standards and get a full refund, i not wasting £30 on a game that no longer works as its ment to.

[jack00521]

@reitifoh didn't even know that was possible :o

[reitifoh]

@jack00521 well, they have sold us a product that has been falsely advertised, it was sold with a phrase similar to, 'experience massive mutiplayer action' or something......... how can we experience it, if thier servers are always down? so i suggest you all put a deadline on how long your willing to wait too, if they have multiple 'formal' complaints, then 'something' is bound to be done, they can't ignore us forever

[reitifoh]

@reitifoh i've also just read something that got me thinking: on a site i veiwed the top rated answer makes alot of sense, essentially its hinting the possiblility that EA have released a 'broken product' if thats the case we as customers have every right to demand a FULL refund.

[jack00521]

@reitifoh well , i would like the refund , but how should i do that (via what and so on,..)

and thanks for all your answers.

[reitifoh]

@jack00521 don't know exactly at the mo, not had time to look into it, just contact trading standards and take it up with them. its a shame because EA make some good 'single' player games, lesson to learn from this EA, STICK TO WHAT YOUR GOOD AT!!, online games is not one of them (which is a shame because battlefield 3 was good wen it worked)

[EverillHD]

I put everything to ANY but I cannot still get into a game :/

[baaroodii]

@EverillHD same here

[SgtSTFU]

We're doing everything right guys, it's all on EA's end. Their networks, servers, etc - all fucking trash. It's really pathetic.

[XxRHCP4lifexX]

[WickedMats]

Fuck this garbage, I hate EA.

[TeamPrankster]

[TheJustinAllenK]

Found out another reason why - if you don't have the DLCs and have the B2K selected, it won't work. Thanks, bro.
