Like most games on launch day that have had a huge anticipation prior to release, DRIVECLUB users suffered major connectivity issues. For players that went with the physical edition, connectivity hasn’t been as bad as launch, but there still may be problems if you try playing online and the devs are aware and are still working on a resolution. They have issued a statement on the current state of the servers and things going forward, which you can read below.
We can see that the majority of you can now get online, but we know that at peak times of the day it can still be hard to get connected, so we are still working to improve connectivity with every update to the servers.
We can also see that when you do get connected, some of you are having a hard time getting into multiplayer races and that posting leaderboard results can sometimes take a lot longer than you’d expect.
These connectivity issues stem from the same unforeseen server problem that we’ve been working to get on top of since we launched DRIVECLUB, and while we are getting on top of the problem now, we are still working round the clock to keep improving gameplay for you. This means there will be regular server updates in the coming days to get all of you connected and enjoying all of DRIVECLUB all of the time.
We will continue to keep you up to speed with the improvements we make and would like to thank you again for all of your feedback and messages about your time with the game so far – please keep them coming.
DRIVECLUB devs also update us on the PS Plus Edition, which wasn’t available on launch day due to connectivity issues and still isn’t available due to connectivity issues. Although it is free, the fact that they are holding back on the PS Plus edition is brave, but may be the right move so you can show users you care about your game and their overall enjoyment and experience.
PS Plus Edition news will come as soon as we have concrete info – sorry to keep you all waiting.
