Staying connected to Rock Central

[LordRavenBaja]

Are you guys getting disconnected from the internet entirely when this happens, or just from Rock Central? It seems to go back and forth for me.

Only RB central, and not entirely. I can still purchase music through the game. And I noticed last night when I played RB3 that I was not on RB central either, but I'm connected to XBox Live.

Had a couple hiccups last night, but it's been problem-free all day today.

Only had one disconnect last night.

I tried all afternoon to play Blitz and kept getting the "not connected to RB Central" error. So, I played Rock Band 3 until about 20 minutes ago. No leaderboard issues, nothing saying I'm not connected. So, I logged into Blitz and sure enough "Not connected to RBC".

I'm not having any other connection issues with any other games.

I've had this problem from the start. Last night wasn't too bad, but tonight I can't even select a song before getting disconnected. I thought it might be me at first, but none of my other online items are having any problems. I wouldn't doubt it's traffic related, what with everyone downloading like crazy, but come on Harmonix, hear our plea! Very frustrating!

Perhaps this has something to do with it?

That's Xbox Live. Rock Band Central isn't that.

That's Xbox Live. Rock Band Central isn't that.

But it shows that there are some kind of networking errors going on. It's possible that it's due to packet loss and such lossy connections can disrupt things that MS isn't even aware of, such as a connection to RBC. As it stands now, I've not been having any more problems with it.

Just lost connection to the Rock Central three times in a row, friends of mine report the same. Bad RB3 server déjà vu right there :/

Last night I lost connection after every other song. They were quick to take my coins - but I never received coins (double for first time play) or cred for playing the songs. The song page didnt show any stars, yet if I looked at the leaderboard, it showed a score for me. o_O

What fun is a game that you continually lose connection on, with the added insult of losing coins and cred?
