Philippe Cardon, head of PlayStation France, has said that the DRIVECLUB‘s ongoing server issues are nothing to do with server infrastructure or lack of, but related to the way the game was programmed. The coding in the game prevents multiple players from connecting at the same time, effectively creating a bottleneck and resulting in some players not being able to connect.
Even after weeks of sever updates and optimisations, Evolution Studios still cannot get every racer to connect to the DRIVECLUB servers. The latest update from the studio says that the “majority” of gamers can now get online, which means issues still exist.
Evolution Studios has now confirmed that more servers are now available to handle the number of players trying to play DRIVECLUB online. Frankly, increasing the number of servers available should have been done far sooner than now. The studio also says that more server updates are incoming to further improve performance.
Evolution Studios continues to update the community on the server issues plaguing the game since launch. The latest update states that the majority of players should be able to connect and play online now, but the multiplayer mode still isn’t 100% yet. In fact, more server updates and upgrades are still in the works to improve connectivity further.
Evolution Studios have issues another update on DRIVECLUB and the server issues affecting online gameplay. Evolution has released a new update (v1.04) for the game, and mentions that more servers and new upgrades are still coming online hour-by-hour, so you can expect improvements to server connectivity.
Evolution has release another update for DRIVECLUB, which has been available for over a week now, but still suffering from server issues. The latest update reveals that online friendly leaderboard and now up and running, and online connectivity has been improved to allow more players to connect.
Evolution has posted another update on DRIVECLUB, and the server issues that have been affecting the game since launch last week. The studio has stated that an update will be rolling out to servers today, enabling more of the online modes in the game. However, the studio still doesn’t have an update on the PlayStation Plus Edition of the game.
DRIVECLUB developer Evolution has said they are “just as frustrated as you about the server performance issues.” They are currently running essential diagnostics to help improve the performance of the servers. What they’re not doing is increasing the number of servers they’re running to allow more gamers to connect.
You would think that after the two PS4 betas and the launch issues experienced with the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix and Sony would take extra precautions that the PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV would be successful.
