whoareyaaa Posted 29 December 2014 Posted 29 December 2014 Those hackers got about 300k worth of vouchers for file sharing site, think the reason its taking so long to come back up is because all the consoles are trying to connect to the PSN at the same time and its ddoss'ing there own servers now .
Soar Fox Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Is the EA server still down? I can't connect Fifa15 on my Xbox.
Tincy Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Got an xbox one over Christmas with 3 games for £300 which I thought wasn't to bad!
Brenfox Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Got an xbox one over Christmas with 3 games for £300 which I thought wasn't to bad! Good deal. I'm not a car game fan but Forza Horizon 2 is stunning. Blows anything on the ps4 away.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Just be patient, for £350-£370 this Christmas you could get a console with 4 games and 2 pads, whatever way you look at it, inflation or whatever, that's dirt cheap 1 year in to a cycle (which is when anyone not caught up in the hype should look at buying a console, the value is so much greater, and there's a library worth exploring).
Unabomber Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Good deal. I'm not a car game fan but Forza Horizon 2 is stunning. Blows anything on the ps4 away. Nice, my mate made that.
Brenfox Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Nice, my mate made that. Get him to chuck me a free season pass

pooleyLCFC Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 I'm having a few problems with my Xbox One, seem to be disconnecting from the servers of the games I'm playing and losing connection from part chats at the same time. Seems to happen more when my brother is online at the same time as well. Anybody got any ideas? Is my broadband (Virgin 60mb Superhub 2) struggling to run 2 xbox ones at the same time? Any help would be appreciated

Any help would be appreciated How far is your console away from the router? is your brothers console closer to the router than yours? Wireless signals get degraded very easily, especially if they have multiple devices trying to use it at once. Maybe try changing the wireless channel on your router and see it it helps?
SMX11 Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 If it is wireless i suggest getting a signal booster. I had issues with frequent disconnections on my pc in my room. That solved it.

Wireless signals get degraded very easily, especially if they have multiple devices trying to use it at once. Maybe try changing the wireless channel on your router and see it it helps? No more than 30 or so yards and yes my brother is virtually on top of it but he is having similar issues as well. How would I go about changing the router settings? I'm not clued up on that sort of stuff. If it is wireless i suggest getting a signal booster. I had issues with frequent disconnections on my pc in my room. That solved it. How much are they? Any specific model to recommend? Thanks for your feedback lads

foz.foz Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 Ok.. What about these network plug things you can buy? I know its putting on the £'s but may work out cheaper than the signal booster Sent from my Oneplus One
pooleyLCFC Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 I'm not sure on how they work or what would be the best one to get for my situation, sounds like I need something like it though.
Sir Fynwy Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 I'm not sure on how they work or what would be the best one to get for my situation, sounds like I need something like it though. Most isp's supply shit hardware, I'd buy a decent cable router
MrSpaM Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 Most isp's supply shit hardware, I'd buy a decent cable router Basically this, first thing you should be doing when you get your internet set up is to buy a decent router and throw away the one they supply you with But yeh if you are having issues with your connection dropping, and have a spare plug free near the router, I'd invest in a couple of homeplugs and just use it wired, or get the homeplugs that extend your wireless. It's basically like running a network cable through your electricity plugs, no need to drill anything or feed cables through your walls.

foz.foz Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 Sorry mate...... Google?? And re the router... I use my virgin router in "modem mode" and use a cheap TPLink router to do the wifi/network stuff, with a couple of "switches" in the network. Sent from my Oneplus One

foz.foz Posted 9 January 2015 Posted 9 January 2015 I'll be honest, I've never used one, and know sfa about them but a hard wired connection on your "console" will not have dropouts or dead spots like a wifi setup in your set up at home. Good luck and let us know how you get in Sent from my Oneplus One
