Connection Lost: FORCED

I was playing GoW2 with a friend doing wingman

we just finished a game and started a new one, we voted for a map and the game started loading

it kicked us out to the lobby with the reason:

"Connection Lost
FORCED

A to accept"


anyone seen this as to me it says hacking as its now happened twice

i might post on the GoW2 forums to see the replies - i took a pic of the message though its not a clear pic i will post it later

Re: Connection Lost: FORCED

It might explain all those matches I have been in where only 2 players out of 10 get through to the game.

Wouldn't be surprised if there is a debug mode that lets your throw players out of a match. It would be used to test the allocation of bots if users left the game. Sorry it would be used if Epic tested the game before shipping it .

Been gone all day


The fact Epic are saying the message means nothing means IMO they know 100% that people are hacking the game. They wouldn't be so cagey otherwise.

Re: Connection Lost: FORCED

I used to have some respect for Epic as a company, now I don't trust them, have no faith in their competence and although I will buy GoW3 if it is worse than GoW2 I think I will avoid GoW4.
