It sounds like you have a weak Internet Connection, or maybe too many people are using your Network at the same time ( piggybacking off it ). Do you live in an apartment? Because there haven't been problems like this on Rockstar's side of things for a while ( at least not for me ). Their servers have been working a lot better as of late. One question, have you had other problems with your internet connection, like when streaming movies or downloading games/ dlc's? If so then you should probably contact your ISP ( internet service provider ) for technical help. It could even be as simple as moving were your router is in the room ( to avoid black-spots ), or using a wired connection ( Ethernet cable ) between your Router and Xbox/ PlayStation. Let me atart off with thank you soo much!!!!! I'm actually paying for really good internet. I have never had any issues with my internet with anything thats why this is sooo weird. Yes i do live in an apartment and i am using wireless. But the thing that gets me is because i played for the whole time it was first out. Fine no problems. It just started about a week ago and wasnt bad at first but just went downhill
Let meptry to help with this.
While you maybe paying for good internet your download and upload speeds actually mean nothing for online gaming. The important thing that matters is that you have low ping. Ping is the process of time in milliseconds that takes your "packets" to reach the data servers and back. While you could have amazing speeds itself its your ping that matters. You need to make sure you have your ports opened for online gaming and uPnP enabled. I created tutorial that shows you how to open your ping but it's for Xbox. Your best bet is to make sure your network settings is correct on PS3 and your DMZ is open. I'll post the tutorial on how to open your NAT for Xbox but you'll have to make changes and configure it for PS3. I haven't had to mess with my PS3 settings in years and I don't own a PS3 currently to help you to open your NAT.
You'll basically want to skip the Single port opening and head straight to DMZ, again how you do this on PS3 is different than Xbox.\
HOLY FUCK DID I FUCK THE HTML CODING ON THIS SITE..
Thank you guys soooooo much for the help. I actually changed my password and played all night last night. Really weird but it worked by changing my password. But when I did change my password when I signed back on all my friends were gone. was like that for a couple hours but they came back. Everything seems too be working good now. But when I get home today I will try again. If getting my friends list back messes it up then I will try this option. One thing I did too when I changed my nat type to 1 is when upnp came up I put it as disabled on the ps3 so I wonder if that could have been it I don't know what upnp is so I disabled it after I changed my password I put everything back to normal and its good now :) :). I actually uped a level to 46 wooooooooooo!!!! THANK YOU GUYS YOU WERE SUCH GOOD HELP!!!!
