I've been trying for 2 nights now, and so far I am UNABLE to connect with ANYONE for an online match. When I use the Quickmatch feature, I can at least get a list of available matches to join, but I can't actually connect to any of them. -- NONE of my other PS3 games have any trouble connecting to others for online play, so this would suggest that it's a problem with BlazBlue.

I have found a online guide with a list of ports to forward within my router for BlazBlue, and I will try them tonight after work -- However, I honestly feel that this is a piss poor solution for a problem within the network code of the game. I shouldn't have to look up a port-forward guide.

There are problems with your game's connectivity.. Please patch it as soon as possible!..

Umm...it's been patched a while ago. Looks like it's just your connection.

No.. It's NOT my connection.. MY OTHER GAMES WORK JUST FINE in online multiplayer. The only game in my collection that has any trouble connecting at all is BlazBlue. Therefore, BlazBlue has problems with it's network code, and needs to be patched.

I will try and forward those ports I found online, but this is a -your mother is a classy lady- solution to a problem with THEIR game. Please fix your code so those of us with connectivity issues don't have to fix it ourselves.

Slow down there guy, there is indeed a very obscure problem out there but it's only hitting a very small number of us. Getting angry isn't going to help anything, we've just got to share our information and start building a better case for ourselves.

This sounds very similar to my issue, which I've reported here: http://www.aksysgames.com/forums/topic/198

If you could spare the time, I have two confirmed friends who I never run into this problem with. I could have one of them create a lobby and send you an invite to confirm whether or not you seem to have the same problem as me, which would be a start toward isolating this.

Two things you can answer in the meantime...

#1: Run the PS3's network connection test. What "NAT type" does it report you as having? (should be 1, 2, or 3)

#2: What type of router are you behind? I use a Linux box to do my routing (iptables SNAT), and if you do as well that would be interesting to know.

#3: What model of PS3 do you have? Mine was one of the original 80Gs.

Two things? Three things. I'm a total liar. :D

I actually fixed this problem on my own 4 or 5 days ago.. The way I fixed it on my end was:

1 - Updated the firmware on my router to latest firmware
2 - DIS-Able UNPNP
3 - PS3 side -> Re-test network connection.

You want the resuts: NAT2, and of course NO report of unsupported fragmented IP's.

This worked for me. I can now successfully connect to others in BlazBlue.

I have the same problem. I get NAT type 2, forwarded ports to my ps3 ip, and tried disabling uPNP, but no luck.

I'm currently using a -your mother is a classy lady- Trendnet router (other games seem to work fine though). Any suggestions before I go ahead and try to swap routers or try new firmware?

Just for your information, my router is a D-Link WBR-2310 [ http://www.dlink.ca/products/?sec=1&pid=470 ] -- With the latest firmware my connectivity issues with BlazBlue went away. (also the entire PSN seems to be just a bit quicker in general)

After killing UPnP I was able to play with one of the friends I was having trouble with earlier. I haven't had a chance to match schedules with the other three yet. I'll report more later.

I did in fact have a wireless router sitting between the PS3 and the internet router, with UPnP enabled on both the router and the PS3. Since the wireless router wasn't acting as a firewall and only bridging the networks, having UPnP on was completely useless and probably causing the PS3 to get confused.

Long story short: try reconfiguring your PS3's network connection and turning off UPnP completely. It's a good place to start.
