Howdy folks,

Well, a few weeks ago my mate finally got a 360, and since we can't be bothered to lug our 360's down the road to each others houses, we decided to play each other on Live instead.

So, added each other, and since he only had Gears I set up a Private Match and Invited him, everytime he tries it says the usual "Connection to host lost" message, so we tried Private Chat, and everytime he invited me, I would just be Joining the Chat and it would suddenly disappear. I don't think he's even recieving my Invites either.

Just asking if someone on here knows the Cause or even better a Solution to this, also, he's still on the 30 Day Trial in case that's the problem.

Can either of you join other matches?  Can you both get in the same match when neither of you is host?  Maybe his router has something to do with it, like a firewall or some strict settings are enabled.

No no, joking aside.  The patch you're talking about.  If it's just a rumor than the guy will feel he doesn't have to do anything but wait for it to come out.  I remember playing COD3, and waiting for the apparent "multiplayer patch" that was to allow EVERYONE to play online, so instead of working on my router I waited for the patch, didn't come.

Well, it doesn't seem to work in the two games we both have... So I can't test anything else it seems, Messages and adding each other to Friends was no problem.

Could be router trouble but other than that I have no idea.
