Was playing on my ps3. The game multiplayer was working just fine. Till I logged off then logged back on a couple hours ago.clicked on multiplayer started up just fine then it got to the "INITIATING SQUAD" and it just froze after a couple of seconds.
I have restarted my console well over 10 times and the problem is not fixed.
From my understanding it has nothing to do with my connection to the internet. And it had also affected every one with the game on my friends list either who have experienced this and still are or who are experiencing it only moments after I got this problem.
Can any one who has experienced this and had the problem resolved please let me know.
I have read on other non associated forums that this issue regardless of the platform can last anywhere from a couple hours, days, weeks and even months.
Please let me know A.S.A.P

I am also having this issue. Played earlier this morning around 7 AM PST without issue. Now I can't connect to multiplayer at all. I suggest popping up the XMB and have quit game ready if "initializing squads" is taking longer than usual to avoid repeatedly having to hard reboot your ps3 constantly. Awesome...

This problem is happening for everyone right now, we do not know what is going on.

Either something is really wrong with crysis right now or we are finally getting our MUCH needed patch/update.

But yes, nobody can get on right now, even the PC version is freezing when people try to get on multiplayer.

You are not alone, we all just have to wait and see what happens.

Rumor or something that CRYTEK is trying to keep on the DL??
just got word that some one or people have hacked into the servers that CRYTEK uses for the online and is kicking everyone out or they are just keeping others with this game from getting online.and it is also being said that CRYTEK is kicking every one out or keeping everyone from going online with the game so that they can resolve the issue and find the ones responsible for this.
Please verify CRYTEK!!!!!

If Andy body else knows about this please let me know.

That sounds like a really bad rumor to be honest.

The only thing that ive heard for sure is the gamespy servers are down for some maintenance, which might be the cause.

I haven't posted on here in a while, but I am getting the same exact error and have spoke with another person who has the same. Whether it's a bug or a group of hackers at least this should make Crytek have to talk to us again. I feel like we have been ignored since after the 2nd map pack. Whatever is the problem I hope they fix it and give us the patch we've all been waiting for as well as a playlist update that puts the map pack maps into the normal rotation of game modes.

Some few bugs I still notice..

- Countdowns still stick at 1 or at just counting down, although this has been improved since this game has come out.
- Some Music still overlaps and is exceptionally louder than anything else in the game
- LASER SIGHTS reappear after being cloaked and doing a ledge grab. Maybe just make it so enemies don't see the laser sight at all?
- LAG, gameplay only adequate some of the time
- Skyline, Gamma Burst on Glass House creates tremendous lag
- Can't play map pack maps because of an outdated playlist.

I was able to get into multiplayer this morning, however the five custom classes that I created reset to the defaults, but all other progress, skill assessments are intact...looks like theyre making progress, now when will Crytek give us another double xp points weekend? Black Ops have had, what, like five xp weekends since that game launced?

ypu same here... im so glad that im not the only one. I stop trying to connect and restart the ps3 cuz i didnt want to screw up my ps3 from all the freezing. Let me know whenever it gets fixed. Im pretty sure that Crytek is going to take forever to respond or probably they are going to make up some stupid excuse saying that its not the games fault its the system or your Connection... Blah blah excuses. CCrytek you better fix this!

Hey guys its finally working!
