For the first 3 or 4 days that PSN was live since Brink's release, I was able to connect to and play the online multiplayer with very little problem. Occasionally I would get some lag, but most of the time the connection and gameplay was flawless.

Thursday evening, I was trying to host a game night with friends and nobody could connect (timed out). This was through both using the invite system and join friends. I tried joining them with no luck. I then proceeded to try any sort of online. Campaign and Freeplay, with a whole host of different settings. The main standards being: Visibility: Everyone and "My Rank or Higher". Could not find any games. Either I was thrown in as a host with bots, or into an empty room (no bot settings). At no point, were others able to connect.

I have had this same problem ever since.

Some troubleshooting measures taken include:

1) Manually resetting/recycle my modem and router
2) Deleted my game data
3) Deleted my game save (gasp, level 16 and level 6 characters)
4) Tried connecting to online multiplayer in other games - Warhawk and Free Realms...which both were successful.

Still, no luck.

Any help?

Thank you

The only wacky theory I could come up with is that I believe Wednesday evening, while playing brink online, I had a power surge at my house which temporarily reset my modem and knocked me offline. I was able to log back in moments later and I believe I played multiplayer, but I can't recall 100%.

Could there be an instance or something of my PSN being logged into the brink matchmaking system that is preventing me to get back in? I am not getting any sort of error when the game first loads and I get the 'signing in' message.

Again, that may be out there...but its all I got at this point and figured it was worth mentioning the surge from the night before.

All the troubleshooting, including game data and game save, was done after the modem/router power cycle.

Thanks again.

I have the same problem here... got the game yesterday and tried to play online but couldn't find any online matches on both freeplay and campaign (using Visibility Everyone and My Rank or Higher)

All the games i went in was empty.

Any solutions?

Im having the exact same problem, really enjoying the game, but multiplayer is literally a ghost-town.

I put settings on Public, Co-op or Versus, and I put Everyone, and make it standard matches, still no luck at all. (I even tried Competitive, it just puts me in Warm Up mode)

Do you have to play multiplayer by inviting people manually? coz apparently there is a thread in the multiplayer section where people are posting their PSN IDs to play with others.

If that is the case, EXTREME INCONVENIENCE, i really enjoy this game, but there are soo many problems. the mutiplayer problems needs to be fixed NOW PLS
