GTA IV Online Issues on PS3 Posted by XanTium | 29-4-2008 15:09 EST

From ps3fanboy.com: [QUOTE] If you are a proud owner of Grand Theft Auto IV on the PS3, then you might not be so proud to know that the online multi-player mode is down. Or, at least it appears to be so for PS3 patrons. Numerous players have received errors upon attempting to connect; this blogger included has not been able to get the multi-player to work. An error message pops up: "Cannot connect to game provider, please try again." [/QUOTE] Full Story: ps3fanboy.com

Hmm, working fine for me.

My homeboy said he couldn't get on COD4 or Unreal 3 earlier. I haven't had issues yet, but I think we've got the first official PSN crash (at least, that I've noticed).

mines down too

I bought the game today and its not freezing BUT its lagging on singleplayer like every 20 seconds or every minutes... the thing i've did to stop it was to disconect my internet from the ps3 and then its nice .... ROCKSTAR RELEASE A PATCH DAMIT!

Seems it's just on COD4, and just for my friend. I played for about 3 hours with no probs. Another friend of mine was playing GTA4 with no problems. Is GTA4 using dedicated servers?

No problems here yet, but I will give it a try later. I am betting that any problems would be more widespread once we hit the weekend and people have time off to play.

working here kind of, but everytime I actually get to play it is severly laggy.
When I first startup the multi player, where the players join, I keep getting the error disconnected from a player, or something like that, and it kicks me off. This happens >75% of the time that I try to do multiplayer, any of the modes.

Ok, well I got the online service to work better. Had to put that IP on the DMZ, for some reason I guess the ports weren't forwarded correctly...
Online is pretty fly, being free makes it even better!
