Jimbob Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well, i spoke too soon. Managed to get 2 hours online before disconnecting again. Oh well, nice to be able to see part of the online features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Was online this afternoon so played a bunch of multiplayer, our club is now up to level 7 but with 5 other members contributing it should jump up very quickly now. You should all have a notification from Playstation which will give you you 3 free dlc cars and a points multiplyer too. Some more updates on the server issue: Over the next 24 hours we are rolling out a new game update alongside server upgrades that will help to improve server performance, clubs and multiplayer functionality.We are also running essential diagnostics periodically to help us continue to improve server performance, which may disrupt online play for you when you get connected. This will be kept to a minimum. We're glad that more of you are getting to play online but we are sorry that many players are still having a hard time getting connected. We are working around the clock to improve connectivity and will keep you informed as we continue to make progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Try try again mate! I managed to get online tonight and joined the club. Hoooraaaaay! I've also got those 3 free DLC cars. Double hoorrray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I managed to get online tonight and joined the club. Hoooraaaaay! Yup "The Choc Chips" is now full with 6 members! New patch is up! Update notes 1.04 - implement several game-side Multiplayer improvements to reduce server load. - fixes scheduled events from occasionally dissapearing from the Event browser in Multiplayer - fixes incorrect target times / scores from appearing in time trial and drift events Hopefully challenges won't be too far away - in the meantime I've set some times on the leaderboards which you can try and beat! (you probably will!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I am terrible at the drift challenges. Hopefully I'll get better. I guess I brake too much/not in the right way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It depends on how i go into the corner with drift challenges, sometimes i go in ok and powerslide around it and drive back out. Other times, i go in and powerslide and do a 180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Forgot to say earlier that face offs are working in multiplayer races the only thing missing now is challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So are the servers at least now 'Up' reliably? I noticed that I now have a proper 'club' as the one person I invited to join - my friend Dave who I've known for years and who love driving games - is now in the Club but because the servers were down again it doesn't seem to count towards much so I just beat one more challenge - I've played it three times in the week its been out - and am now just waiting for the servers to be functioning more reliably. As for the game itself I still really like it by the way if anyone from here wants to join my club then they can, just ask... it's got a Final Fantasy theme as it's called 'Kupo Club' - because why not? - so if that sways anyone's decision to join then all the better, just thought I'd put it out there seeing as we already have one N-E club that's full which is good to see as it shows that lots of people on here have the game and are willing to play it online which is a good start... when we have the online.

Servers seem very stable today. Another club eh? Brilliant! I can se this getting very competitive. If your not in a club yet join @S\.C\.G 's one.

Cookyman Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I did download eventually, online didn't connect. Might be because of this, try later. We are also running essential diagnostics periodically to help us continue to improve server performance, which may disrupt online play for you when you get connected. This will be kept to a minimum. Challenges popped up earlier this afternoon very briefly but is locked again now hopefully will be unlocked soon. In the meantime try some of the times I've set in the time trials!

Jimbob Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Got the club level to 10 earlier, very nice. I'm having a bash at some of the times you've set @Cookyman, managed to beat one so far. And at least my online is lasting this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khilafah Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 honestly starting to think that this game will never be totally fixed online. absolute clusterfuck! wouldnt be surprised if the free edition gets cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think the challenges have arrived, was doing a tour and had 3 random challenges appear in-game. Managed to beat 2 of them, but one was impossible (unless i was using a Rocket, average speed of over 7k). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren't challenges, those are face offs. absolute clusterfuck! wouldnt be surprised if the free edition gets cancelled. It won't! Come on, I know your angry but there is no way in hell the free edition will get cancelled. It's delayed that's all. Try not to flip out! I don't have this notification?

James Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Man this game is fucking intense, the sense of speed is insane trying to tame your pagani hyura as your bouncing over a bumby road knowing one little mistake will cost you the race, having to go easy on the accelerator as you feel the back end about to pop out. Gripping onto the controller so tight its so mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't see my friends list. Wtf is the deal with PSN? It has problems too often and lack of updates compared to MS who are updating Live monthly. Coming from Live to PSN gotta say PSN is way behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have a feeling match making would have worked last night if PSN wasn't down, I joined you cooky but I presume you were getting the same message as me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah frustrating wasn't it? This morning went online no problem and multiplayer worked great too so levelled up a bit more and earned a shit load for the club!

MATtheHAT Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've had this pre-ordered for some time now, and was really looking forward to it, but I have to say what a complete disappointment this has been. I can live with the network issues as I am sure they will be resolved. It's kind of expected now with any big release that network issues will plague the release window. My concerns, and I understand this is a controversial opinion, is how utterly bland this game is. The graphics are (imo) average, the environments boring, and the tracks aren't the most inspired design I've seen in a racing game. Next Gen, this is not.
