My 2 lads play this on separate Xboxes but one was continually crashing, did a bit of research and found out that the latest Virgin hub is basically crap at handling high speed gaming. I had to set the Virgin router to modem mode and plug a gaming router into it, have had no problems since. Apparently it's a chipset problem which they were aware of 2 years ago but kept flogging these routers as the "Ultimate Entertainment Hub", bandits!

Ah cheers, will get her to try playing it on her own rather than both of us and seeing if it happens.

Thats the only downside, having to do it on different consoles

Loving the 50v50 mode at the moment

So many different ways to approach it, I like going behind enemy lines or getting in the middle of circle straigh5 off building a base for re-enforcememt to use then trying to bag an air drop and rejoining the action if my team is winning or sneaking round the back of oppo if losing to see if can pick a few off

Didn't she also attack her dad for taking it off her? Parenting should really come into it at some point, that's really bad.
