Online Connection/Game Session No Longer Available Discussion

Online lag out issue

I've encountered a problem where "this game session is no longer available" appears on my screen in the middle of battles, i know this usually happens when the other person has quit or a lag out has happened. But where the problem rolls in, and frustrates me is that its counted as a disconnect/rage quit on my part. I never rage quit on any game i play, and i know its a server issue because when this happens all the lights on my modem were still on. Now i have lagged out a few times and my modem lights went off on its own, but it has never counted it as a disconnect for me, because it was a problem with the modem, a uncontrolled factor on my part. This situation with the mk9 server itself has happened atleast 3 times so far and has been listed as 3 disconnects on my part, its a problem that should be fixed, because unless i actually pop the disc tray, or return the dashboard i shouldnt be labeled for any disconnects honestly. I hate this because there is nothing i can do if this keeps happening, and labeling it under my disconnect rate, and people will think im a rager -_-. Have any of you had this same issue?

ohhh yeah iv had this robem 20X literally it sucks cause I swear iv never quit a match in my life and yet I have 20 disconnects? That's ******** to me but what can you do about it,
 
Session is no longer available

It does this all the time lately, and now that I want to play Ranked matches, it counts as one disconnect and one loss and it's not my fault. And it also drops my rank. Thanks NRS

P.S. I also love waiting in KOTH for 10 minutes to fight and when it's my turn, I'm sorry "The session is no longer available". < Only the greatest thing to see after wasting my time to get kicked out
 
Re: Session is no longer available

Join the club, it happens to almost all of us, :x. Honestly in ranked matches, ppl tend to rage quit first. Stick to less packed koths, with people that also have 4 bars/balls/connection thing.
 
Re: Session is no longer available

I just wish they wouldn't mark us for disconnects like session no longer available. :( I just won't do ranked anymore until they have that lag patched up

It's totally a double edged sword though. There's kids that rage quit that will deserve that loss, then magically disconnecting, both counts the same (I believe), but if I'm right, they can't remove one without another.
 
Re: Session is no longer available

I just think it's silly that we get a loss for the horrible netcoding that makes us disconnect from matches.
I mean every KOTH I try to connect to now makes me wait for 2 minutes saying "connecting to lobby" then it
say session is no longer available.
 
Re: Session is no longer available

MK Online doesn't work well. I am also pissed! You have to wait so long for an opponent in a ranked match...
 
Re: Session is no longer available

I've been extensively researching MK since it's release, and after my first batch of online testing I decided to mess around with disconnects. The "Session is no longer available" message is a bug in itself that is the same as your opponent leaving the game though with different consequences (which is why it needs to be fixed). But what I also found is that there is a way to disconnect from a game without it getting added to your stats.

Personally, I'm on the fence about whether or not I should release my videos proving this as the last thing I'd want to do is encourage rage quitting. But the stats in MK are unfortunately broken; I also have proof of people quitting on me that resulted in both wins and losses, sometimes double at that (meaning 37 wins became 39 wins/40 losses became 42 losses after only one match) - amongst a host of other issues.

Stats, as nice as they are to have when they work, are really more meaningless than we believe because they're virtually impossible to record accurately. With that being said, I feel the offline bugs are more worrisome as they not only break singleplayer but carry over into multiplayer, and I can't tell you how many times I've randomly triggered a breaker that wasn't supposed to happen which by doing so removed my X-Ray and essentially cost me the match.

I honestly thought I was the only one with the KOTH problem.

I watch the matches, nearly lagless, but when its my turn, game session no longer available.


I can, however, play Ranked matches with little lag.
 
Re: Session is no longer available

It happens unfortunately. Hopefully with the patch it'll be fixed somewhat.

Earlier, I was about to win a match, and right at the end. "Session no longer available" Was able to rejoin the room right after though. Just sucked.

One thing happened that was interesting, everyone else got booted I'm guessing, and I didn't for once, was a surprise, than few people rejoined. Usually I'm the one getting booted.

Lol actually what that one does is it puts everyone in their own KOTH match and they think everyone else got booted too. It's funny sometimes lol.

But usually when it kicks me out once, if I join again, as soon as they pick their character and the screen loads it kicks me out. Usually if it says it once, it's bound to say it again, and again, and again....
 
Re: Session is no longer available

Omg, this pisses me off. It has happend to me like 50 time already and it wont stop i keep on trying but wont work >.<
 
Re: Session is no longer available

This has happened to me quite ALL the time when I try to play private matches with people on my PSN "friends list."
I have yet to play a private match with ANY of my fiends. :-(

I've tried multiple times to connect with AMES32, and I get the stupid "Session no longer available" error message.

I don't know if he's in the States, Europe or elsewhere, but I'm beginning to wonder if that's why we can't connect.

I agree.. it makes it so you can't tell who the glitchers/cheaters are and people like me who earned a legit solid record. I had some guy who kept sending me messages the other day accusing me of "cord pulling" and saying my record was "fake" and "boosted" and blah blah blah. The guy barely beat me both rounds and is in the top 20 on the leaderboards himself... but for some reason he wouldn't accept that my 622-80 record was legit.
I've also had another experience where a guy quit out on me in round 3 and somehow he lagged the game out to disconnect and he got the W and I got the L. Shit like that is kind of disappointing especially when I've put so much time into online already.
 
I can't play online at all - session no longer available.

I see there are other posts about this, but seeing as I can't play online at all I thought I would start a whole juicy new thread to highlight its importance (to me anyway).

Most modes I find nobody, but in ranked I get to the character select screen and then always get the 'This game session is no longer available message'.

I managed to get one fight in a room, but then every other fight continued the same pattern of lost session messages. I just don't bother now, so the whole online aspect of the game is lost to me.

Anything I can do to help, or can somebody tell me it'll be fixed. I can play other online games, but my net connection isn't great (I play wirelessly and live in a rural part of Hong Kong where I can only get 8mb bb).

I am really enjoying my return to MK after an 18 year gap, I have found I like MK much more than I ever did before, this version is the best ever and probably my favourite current fighter, but I am feeling I'm missing out.
 
Re: I can't play online at all - session no longer available.

I gave up on MK's online a long time ago. Every single game I join, the delay is ridiculous. I know its not my internet, I throw in MvC3 and it runs like a dream. Ive even played CoD while 2 others were playing WoW.

I bought a $60 dust collector...
 
Re: I can't play online at all - session no longer available.
