Only able to co-op for 60 minutes?

[GoreTiger]

Was trying to play with my buddy last night co-op'ing PQ missions, And after 60 minutes it said our idle time was up and spit us out of the multi lobby. After that, we couldn't co-op anymore.
Do they really have the co-op restricted to just an hour a day?

Sorda but its 4 hours and not for the whole day. YOu can play in multiplayer lobby for 3 hours. ONce you hit 3 hours the 60 minute idle timer starts ticking down. Meaning after 3 hours you have 1 hour left.

IN total you can play for 4 hours in multiplayer lobby then you get kicked off.


Its stupid but its how it is. But you can just log back in for another 4 hours as many times as you want.

Its an annoyance and its stupid but its how it is.

That's not what happened to me last night tho.
It was my first time going into a public lobby, And it kicked me out after only an hour, told me my idle time was up. I hadn't been in the lobby for 3 hours.
After that, it wouldn't let us back into the multi-lobby.

May be a bug or some other reason. IM not aware of. But this is how it is suppose to work.
YOu get 3 hours the the idle time timer starts ticking after the idle timer hits 0 your kicked.
YOur suppose to have 4 hours before your kicked. And your suppose to be able to just jump back on.

This is how the idle timer works. If you only played for 1 hour and couldnt jump back on then maybe you have a bug affecting it.

But like i said this is how the idle timer works.


It does tell you about this the first time you jump on multiplayer lobby. A message pops up saying you have a time limit.

wtf why is he saying 4 hours? did they change it?

They put a system in the game. 1 hour, then your sent to main menu. No need to panic, just go back to multi lobby. This timer isn't for multi PLAYER. its for multi LOBBY.

It doesn't detect movement, actions, time spent in player lobby, or in over-world lobby. It just has 1 hour, then it sends you to main menu.

This is to prevent server overload at this point. It was to prevent idling and stuff, but now its obviously to prevent bot attacks... or something...

Actually. its really pointless. But hey, if a bot attack happens, that system would help.

Anyways. 1 hour. not 4. that guy is either crazy, or the only person in the world with the update that doesnt exist.

I may be off about 4 hours.


but googling it you will see plunty and plunty of people all saying you get 3 hours for multiplayer lobby.


I know i dont get kicked out after 1 hour of being in multiplayer lobby. Theres streams of people playing in multiplayer lobby for longer then 1 hour.

On ps4 and PC, it's definitely 1 hour for me. Hasn't changed ever since they added it. But I will say that at times, I think I feel like the time isn't active at all. And seeing as I only play for short time spans now unlike when this game was released and I literally did nothing but play xenoverse ALL day - it could be a bug. Sometimes message in system saying 45 mins left, sometimes, a hour passes and nothing happens.

All i know is i dont get kicked off after just 1 hour. Im able to play for at the very least 3. Every time i jump into multiplayer lobby.


when i get kicked i jump right back in and play for another 3 or so hours. Never have i been only able to play 1 hour on multiplayer lobby. It was always longer then just 1 hour.


Im on pc.

Do you HAVE to be in a multi-lobby to play together with your friends? You can't just go into a private lobby with them and play?
