Now that most of us have had a day or two to play GOW multiplayer I thought I'd start a thread on known issues and ways we've found to fix them. Here are the few that we know of so far. Please feel free to add issues and any known ways around them:
1) Player in PreGameLobby who cannot be heard.
The first game I played last night I could hear everyone, but no one could hear me. Then we had a few other games where we could not hear people. In fact, we had one game where 3 of us could hear each other, but we could not hear the other 3 people. Oddly enough, the other 3 could hear us and each other, but we couldn't hear them. They all go onto one team and we played fine, but it was odd nonetheless.
KNOWN FIX: Every once in a while the person can drop and come back in and be heard. This does not always fix the problem though. The true fire way to fix the problem and allow everyone to be heard is to drop the room and create a new lobby.
2) Player in PreGameLobby who cannot send invites
I had this happen to me a few times and others have had it happen to them as well. I was in the lobby and had played a few rounds, but for whatever reason I could not invite anyone. Oddly enough people in the same lobby as me could send me invites. For whatever reason the game thought I was not actually in the game - hence my inability to invite people and the ability of others to invite me to the game again.
KNOWN FIX: Have the person who is quasi in the game drop out (or boot him or her) and then have them rejoin.
3) Player frozen in place
During the game we have had a few people who have been frozen in place. They can spin around, but cannot move, change weapons or do anything else.
KNOWN FIX: Shoot (or wait until the player is shot) and then revive the player. They will be able to move around.
4) Unable to change weapons during match
So far only Rhino has had this happen to him that I know of. He was in the game and could pick up and exchange weapons, but once chosen, he could not choose any other weapons with the D-Pad.
KNOWN FIX: We did not test it enough to know whether it would fix it, but I'm guessing if he had dropped and come back it would have been fine.
Please post any other issues that you have experienced and whether you have figured out a workaround. Hopefully we can save some frustration for the rest of us by identifying the issues early on.
Sorry. I've lapsed into the lingo.
