i just got this game a couple of days ago and when i try to go on multi player it lets me into a room for about 5 seconds then it says the connection to one or more players has been lost returrning to single player can anyone help it does this every time ??

the game is gta 4 btw

Are you connected through a router? If so it might be firewall settings or other settings that could be causing the problem. I know from time to time I used to get that message but changing some settings on my router seems to have helps the issue as I have not gotten that message for awhile now.

oh kk il chek that mate

lol i always get that too

It's from Routers, it's on the Xbox and PS3, My suggestion would be check for the latest firmware from your Routers brands website. If that doesn't work open the ports.

yeah, i dislike the return to single player thing, as that is annoying. i dont see why they didn't just add in a multiplayer lobby thing, like other games.

hasn't happened to me and i use a router check your firewall o=

doesnt happen to me. All i get is chucked out of the game then it says dns error
