SHawk996 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Both of us are from the US, East Coast (We live 20 min apart...work together). Got copies of MW3, go to play spec ops together, and get this error...WTF?! "Unable to connect to special ops host, because they're running a different protocol version." Both of us have the patches for the game. Both can play multiplayer just fine...what the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KutleryKing Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Well when I just signed in I was prompted for another patch. Perhaps he got another one and you two got confused? Both of you should try turning off your Xbox's and turning them back on, then load up MW3. See if you get another patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercurse Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 A title update went live within the last half hour. You can only matchmaake within your versions. Both restart your xboxes and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeckdaddy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the patch and my buddy hasn't. He tried restarting his box but thats not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHawk996 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the patch and my buddy hasn't. He tried restarting his box but thats not working. Yep, ditto. We've both restarted ours multiple times. I'm a huge user of xbox.com, and just noticed today they COMPLETELY re-vamped the website. I'm sure that's not helping anything...sigh.

CommonlyNasty Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 just found out how to fix it, the person who hasn't received the new update needs to clear their system cache then start the game up again, it worked for us anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingles Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 A friend of mine got the update but nothing has popped up for me yet. Edit: Clearing the cache worked. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeckdaddy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 My buddy just got the update without having to clear the cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingles Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 My buddy just got the update without having to clear the cache For whatever reason, some do and some don't. I'm not sure why. Could it have anything to do with whether or not you have the game installed? I wouldn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to my cousin and I as well last night. We were in the middle of a Survival game when He got booted and forced w/ the download of this update. We are in the same apartment, different rooms, I did not get the update. As we couldn't find anything online about it at the time He tried clearing his cache and when it didn't work then I cleared mine. Haven't had any further issues since.
