NETWORK FAQ

Q1:

Do I need an Online Pass to play online?

A1:

No. An Online Pass is not required.

Q2:

What is a NAT type?

A2:

Your NAT type determines what users you would be best matched with. It may be difficult for players with Type 3 (PS3™)/Strict (Xbox 360) to find matches, so we recommend that these players change their settings according to the following:
PS3 : http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/connecttest.html#connectPSNetwork
Xbox : http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/nat-error-solution

*Please note that we are unable to answer questions regarding this setup process.

Q3:

When the host changes, I'm sometimes shown a "Communication check failed" message and returned to the main menu.

A3:

This message is shown when you have become unable to communicate directly with the host. This is more likely to occur when a player with NAT Type 3 (PS3™)/Strict (Xbox 360) becomes the host, for example.

Q4:

I can't search for/connect to a lobby that's been created.

A4:

Make sure that both you and the host have text displayed in your information bars. If not, please refer to Q6.

Q5:

What does it mean when the connection icon is shown inside angular brackets (< >) instead of square brackets ([ ])?

A5:

Angular brackets are shown for wireless connections, and square brackets for LAN connections.

Q6:

Nothing is displaying inside my information bar.

A6:

Make sure you are signed in to PlayStation®Network or Xbox LIVE.

Q7:

What specific changes have been made to make online play run more smoothly?

A7:

・It has become easier for players to enter lobbies. The system has changed so that anyone who is able to
　communicate with the host is able to join.
・The matchmaking system has been improved to make it easier to find an opponent for Ranked Matches
　and Throwdowns.
・The netcode has been updated so that users experience less network lag.

Q8:

(PS3™ only) I get Error 8002D001 when I try to upload to YouTube.

Q9:

I can't search for other players on PS3™.

Please perform the following steps:
　*Note: You may be required to change your router settings.

1. Refer to the following page to check your router settings.
https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3825

2. (If your router's UPnP setting is off) Ensure that the following ports are open:
　*If your router's UPnP function is enabled, it is possible for a port to be blocked even with the above settings applied.
　Please disable UPnP before configuring your port settings.
　*If your router's UPnP function is disabled, please also disable the UPnP setting in the Network Settings menu
　of your PlayStation 3 system.

TCP	80	443	3478	3479	3480	5223	8080
UDP	3478	3479	3658

3. Enable ICMP in your router settings.

4. (If unsuccessful) Ensure that the following ports are open:

UDP	49152-65535

　*Now please try searching again.

5. (If unsuccessful) If you have a headset connected, please disable it.
This will decrease the risk of communication failure when creating an online session.
　*Now please try searching again.

6. (If unsuccessful)
It is possible that no players currently exist who meet the specified search conditions.
Try changing your search conditions, or waiting and searching again.

Q10:

(PS3™ only) Why doesn't the antenna show up for some lobbies?

A10:

First, make sure ICMP is enabled in your router settings. If the antenna still doesn't display, the host may have ICMP disabled, which in some cases might cause connection problems with the host and prevent you from joining the lobby.
