'The system is no longer available'

[Podgies]

For some reason during matches I keep getting the above message come up and then chucked off the game. Its happened in pretty much all of the four games I've played (or tried) in the last hour or so after a few minutes into the game. Is getting real annoying now. I did manage to play a full game at lunchtime today but this evening I keep getting the same problem crop up.

Does anyone else get the same on here? I did think it might be because someone else was on the wireless network the same time as me in the house but I tried again and it still does it. The broadband wireless I've got also is pretty powerful so I can't see that being the problem when its just the PSP connected.

If anyone has any suggestions to stop it from happening then that would be real cool. Is one of the best features I like of the game as it pits u against 'real' opponents.

Cheers:D

Maybe your connection with the player/opponent is quite weak?

were you winning when this happened? there's a big problem, but especially so with the psp version, of people bailing on a game as soon as they start to lose.

Its a problem for sure as it takes away the fun of competing. One solution would be to git rid of the scoring system completly and percentages so that they didn't get effected when the connection was broken. However about 0.25% of the fun is getting your name up on the leaderboards and seeing your name go up the ranks.

only a quarter percent !?

Hmmm... I'd have thought connection would be ok. Is a Belkin wireless router but I've heard they can be a bit temperamental. Normally it happens only a few minutes into a game. Did have it happen tonight right at the end but the other player probably would have won so I felt kinda bad about that. Does seem to be getting better though and seems to happen less if I play during the day.

other consumers have complaints about that belkin? you should google it and see. also, try of course to stay within physical proximity of the wireless router, and try to avoid other electronic interferences in the area if possible.
