Hey! Me and my brother was thinking of playing eachother today, but then a big problem came. When i challenge him to play a Fifa 08 match and he accepted then suddenly when he came to the room we both got ''Game session no longer available..'''

We tried ofcourse again and the same thing happened over and over again..

So we tried to play another game, Rainbow Six Vegas, and the same thing happened.

So we both decided to see if we could play with other people and we both could.

We can send messages to eachother but we can't have Private Chat.

We have checked if we have blocked eachother or something but we havent.

So what is the problem? Anyone else experienced this?

We really want to play eachother so i really hope someone can help us:D

Is your Nat settings set to strict either of you? If its set to strict it can prevent you from joining games. Somebody on my friends list could not private chat for a whole day and the following day he could. If your tag is set to open for both of u ure ok to play. I f all else fails give microsoft a call and explain the issue. I had problems joing randoms matches on Fifa 08 the problem was at Microsofts end. So they troubleshooted the problem and in a couple of days I was able to join.

Check to make sure your NAT's are set to OPEN first of all. Then I would make sure you both are in the same gamerzone and prefer each other as players.

That SHOULD work.

Yes, it very well likely is his NAT. If his NAT is open, and his brothers is SRICT, then they are going to have a hard time chatting and getting in the same rooms. If your NAT is STRICT it in no way means he would have a hard time playing online "at all".

If the NAT was set to STRICT he wouldn't beable to play online at all against anyone they would have noticed that from day 1 unless it reset it's self to STRICT which is not impossible but extremely unlikely

Ive helped ppl on XBL with the strict issue to change it to open and they could join some games but not all. So yes it is worth checking the Nat settings. But if its set to open for both of you deffo give Microsoft a call. Becuase then it would be an issue from their end.
