Internet crisis

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Ok, I'm only putting this here due to the fact it is ALL about origins, concidering this is the map it started happening...

It's weird, I can play origins for like, 30 minutes, then i get disconnected from the servers, then Xbox live it's self... This only started happening after i downloaded origins.... Doesn't happen in minecraft or portal 2 co-op, JUST origins... Is the amount of memory taken up by the map effecting how long I can play? Or is it just my internet provider being a jerk?

I looked up some answers online and they said to change the dns server name manually to 8.8.8.8 secondary: 8.8.4.4...... While this DID help with internet connection in general, it did NOT help with the main issue....

Is origins too big of a map to play on?

I have Verizon fios quantum and alway have problems with Xbox. These outdated systems are just overloaded. Maybe try reinstalling the map pack for shits and giggles?

FIVE HOUR DOWNLOAD MY FOOT!

Whoa, it took you five hours to download the map pack? There's your issue; your internet is horrible.

[Ourobos]

I have problem with the game and connection.. That being said, it took me 26 hours to download it..

The same thing is with my Xbox. I can only play for 30 minutes unless I'm connected to the router.

In zombie mode, each time there is a host migration, my PS3 freezing 5 minutes later. Anyway now she not found other players in public match in zombie mode.

I find a lot of players are getting disconnected due to a time out. Not necessarily because they are backing out but some other issue at hand?

Two words: better internet. If you're still trying to work through dial-up connections in the Stone Age, you may want to test your connection speeds.

This is actually a really handy tool for determining how well your internet is treating you. The problem I have sometimes is playing with a host who essentially has crap connection so the rest of us are fluttering around with 2-3 bars.

If you are having hardware issues like freezing and such, invest in a cooler for your console or clear unnecessary data that might be building up.

Yes. Increase your internet speed, if you can.

Another vitally important thing you can try to do is update the firmware in your router/modem. Using the Deafult Gateway (Windows) or Router (Mac) Address, browse to that address to access your router/modem configuration page. Then look under an 'Advanced', 'Utilities', or 'Diagnostic' section and find an 'Upgrade/Update Firmware' button. Where within the configuration page this process is found depends on the mmanufacturer of your router/modem, but most should have the option in them somewhere.

It's not dial up it's satellite... Not sure which one is worse... But the satellite works FAIRLY reasonably after a few days or hours... This time it just hasn't fixed it's self....

Would a large flash drive cause something like this though? i've been using one sense buried and nothing has gone wrong, other then the SUPER long process of turning ON the device....

And it's not the host, I get this when playing solo....

Disconnect the flash drive. If it works, yes, it's the drive. Could have malware on the drive hijacking the internet...

Doubt it, it was brand new from the store...

But the issue is, origins is ON the drive.. and I have no idea how long that will take to not only move the origins over, but to open up space on the hard drive....

Sigh... I'll see what i can do... :(

If it's like a USB stick, the rate data is transferred could be too slow...

The same thing is with my Fifa 13 Xbox. I can only play for 30 minutes unless I'm connected to the router.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Nope, I've got a standard (not entirely sure, think its two) gig Xbox 360, nothing unique about it.... Never a red ring or even constant freezing (although it does freeze every few months or so once or twice).... It's a good Xbox with poor Internet... What a waist... :(
