Unable to play Call of Duty 4 online
Issue
Each time I try to play COD4 multi-player such as team deathmatch or free-for-all on my PS3, it takes a long time to find a match and when it does it says that the window has been closed. Other times, I get this message "Downloading game settings".
Solution
- Go to the online lobby screen where you get the option to select 'Find Game' etc and then switch off the power to your router (don't just disconnect your Ethernet cable). Press 'X' to exit the 'You have been disconnected... ' screen and then exit the game to go back to the PS3 menu. Plug your router back in and sign back into the PS Network. Then try COD4 again and it will work.
