Thanks for your input. I will have to play around with it.

Well, well, well....I tried three games in a row with a buddy last night...all disconnected. Then, just to try it, I deleted my 20 custom sounds (the teams we were using did not have any, BTW) and POOF...game fired right up.

I think EA should respond to this.

glad to see it worked for you. now that you know you can get it back to working, i'd try and add a few sounds back in and see if it works....keep adding until you figure out how many you can have and still play.

and you're right, EA should respond (hell, they should have ****ing fixed it in the patch - "great new feature" my arse). but i doubt they will.

Well, I didn't check to see if it deleted all the sounds for my offline games as I deleted them from the Online Dyanasty menues...but, if they could just give us an option to disable all sounds without actually deleting all the scenarios, that would be fine with me...that way I just switch them to "off" for online play, whatever.

I heard 32 sounds were the sweet spot...kind of wierd that I only had 20 and it didn't work.

We verified NAT and other router settings ahead of time to make sure it wasn't a connectivity issue, either. The only variable change was eliminating the sounds.
