How many different games on average to you have to try and join before you successfully connect to one?
 
It worked on the first try but it crashed 5hrs later.
 
Truthfully the new "Contacting Peer" is getting to be a problem. I'm enjoying multiplayer play but that is starting to make waiting for 45minutes to play a disappointing task.
 
Here is a post by someone else at another forum:

Since my first post, and before reading these responses, I indeed DID call the Take2 support number (located in England) and they say the issues aren't with the patch, but are with the servers.

"Terribly overloaded and extra'ordinarily busy" was his quote (and apology).

he also said that, "they are working on getting more servers available in the next few hours and to please be patient with them."

So far, I think I'll "try" and trust his word as he asked, lol.
