Microsoft servers overhelmed =/

According to some polish Xbox fan sites, Live servers are overhelmed. This situation is caused by Christmas sales of X360 and many new owners of XLIve.
Some of us cant login, or game disconnects from it and prevents normal online play.
Which from u can normal play via Xbox Live in VF5?

 

I can't play normally for several days now. Microsoft didn't even send out notices about this. It's a shame!

 

This is garbage and you have to pay for it.

 

dumbass microsoft they should know how much bandwidth they need for their servers. Keep this up and they'll lose their clientell

 

highly doubt that. they messed up during holiday season but in general the service is still great. And personally I think most of the problems we are experiencing have to do with the vf netcode not xbl. SInce when we are having problems other games seem to work fine.

 

so basically what your saying is that the VF5 net coding is to good for XBL? LOL I'll only accept that statement in that way. Personally I think LIVE is overwhelmed as they say and MS is most likely going to add more servers once this school break is over so this doesn't happen again when the next break comes along. I do agree though that it's unacceptable that they didn't send out a notice to subscribers about the problem. This is something they normally do when they know of an existing problem. I have used XBL for the past 3-4 years and usually MS fixes any LIVE related issue within 48 hours tops. So I truly believe they got caught with there pants down on this one. Here is to hoping while pulling them back up their dick didn't get caught in the zipper.

 

no im saying the netcode seems to have some compatibility issues with xbl.

during the holiday season its obvious the xbl servers were overwhelmed but even before that we were experiencing so many errors while games like cod, gears etc were working fine. So I'm guessing the vf netcode has some issues that need to be dealt with by Sega.

 

maybe they ensured games like that run fine, they do get a lot more users playing online....

 

Well, whatever the reason, Live still isn't working properly.

 

the orange box isn't working well online either. Games that weren't working all that well online to begin with are getting hit the hardest with this problem. Leads me to wonder why that is the case.

 

A lot of games doesn't work properly lately. It's NOT VF5 problem only.

 

They should give everybody a free month of XBL. This is bullshit. I am on break. I would like to PWN some Noobs. Why is MS so stupid? What a shocker, people off of school and with new 360's want to play XBL. Who could have predicted something like this? Only some kind of genius with an IQ over 80 (ie, not MS employees).

 

Yeah, that shit is terrible... For a minute I thought it was my system and my connection, BUT IT'S NOT!!!

 

lol of course this would happen, any business model they had could have predicted an increase in sale over the holiday period,
plain and simple they just don't care, they got everyone's cash and will fix the problem once it becomes an issue that will affect the cash inflow (i.e the sales of live and 360's will not slow just for this),
it's a shame that what you pay for is not what you get.

 

what about last month

 

I keep getting the "No players found" message a lot tonight. Either something is wrong, or nobody is playing because it is already New Year's here. Guess I will just go to sleep. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sleep.gif

 

I also had this... It's for sure Microsoft problem with servers /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

 

I refuse to believe MS wasn't prepared for this. HALO 3 had a shit load of people on launch day with no hidcups online. And MS couldn't prepared for the Holiday Season? I refuse to believe that. I want the problem resolved(obliviously)But M$ being quite is not helping their cause. I want to hear the PR bullshit on this one.
