lately, i’d been playing a ton of warhawk on ps3. unfortunately, for whatever reason, it’s started having networking issues. the game worked flawlessly with my current network setup for months and now, it often freezes at the 28-25 second mark between maps. at first, i thought this was a upnp issue because it seemed to me that pfsense wasn’t opening the ports the ps3 needed. now, it seems more like the ps3 isn’t requesting ports from miniupnpd. i haven’t seen the firewall blocking traffic from the servers or anything, so i’m totally at a loss.
in more positive news, i replaced the hard disk in the ps3 (this was rumored to fix warhawk freezes) with a 320GB Fujitsu 7200rpm SATA disk. these 2.5″ disks have gotten way cheaper.
but it works now! yay warhawk! for some reason, it’s SO entertaining to watch you play it. haha.
