RBW, My biggest beef with this game right now, is that when I try to join a race that a friend is already in, 75% of the time, I will get an error message telling me that the session is no longer available shortly after it starts loading the map (after it says joining session). It doesn't happen all the time and you can usually get in after about 10 tries. But by the time you get in, you've already missed a few races, and it has taken you 15+ minutes to get in. It gets frustrating after a while. Any chance of you guys looking into a fix for this? While you're here, is there any new news that you are able to share with the public about the possibility of a patch/new DLC?

When your friend sends the invite to you, do they know if the room is full or nearly full or not before he sends the invite? That could be the problem. Many times I'll send an invite before I think to look or notice there's only one or two spots left. By the time the friend receives the invite and accepts, someone else randomly joined and took the spot, giving you the error message. If a room is mostly empty, your invites should work fine. If your invites are getting the error trying to join a friend in room with 1 person in it, then that would be a problem to fix. But I haven't experienced that personally.

This has been happening to me too. I tried for almost 2hours to join my friends session, its really annoying. That and with the xbox freezing up maybe 4-5 times a day, lobbies that never start or races that finish early then put you striaght back in the lobby. I still find myself addicted to it though and its the best mx game ive played, i just wished it didnt have so many flaws but still would like to congratulate the developers for a 1st class product, and im sure these things can be fixed sooner or later. I no longer ride but used to compete during the 80's and raced the Australian scene and bumped bars with guys like Jeff Leisk and also Jimmy Ellis when he came out to Oz for a few yrs near the end of his carrer. Anyways thanks again and look out kids,.... us oldies still got a fresh can of whoop ass waiting for ya !!

Ya, it happens regardless of how many people are in the game.

i had the same problem tryed for about 4 weeks getting into games and especially the mxonlinetournaments races and when i did there would only be 1/2 people in the room,couldnt join friends when got a invite (nearly threw the ps3 out the window) so changed my router to a netgear n series router and can join every time straight away no waiting,always full rooms 12 riders can join whenever i get a invite. so id try a different router mate plus the netgear has the DMZ section if you need it PSN: othy1976

if in doubt hit it flat out

There's no way in hell I'd ever switch from a Buffalo Router to a Netgear router. I know multiple people that have the same problems...all with different routers. My Xbox is in the DMZ. I will put up with not being able to join the game for 10 minutes before I switch my router.
