VazzVegas Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) The last two nights I've tried playing online matches and when I select Multiplayer, I'm just stuck at the initial screen where it says "Communicating with server..." Please don't tell me they closed the servers unannounced or that I'm permanently screwed from finishing the online for some other reason. EDIT: One other piece of info: Right before trying to get online last night, I had to download system update 4.66. That better be the reason and they better fix that shit if it is. EDIT 2: Weekly challenges and Downloaded events also do not work. FTS. EDIT 3: It appears the online has been killed for everyone!

Martain2 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I know that online servers can have problems for many different reasons but this does appear to have been created by the latest update, how the hell can that even be possible and is it affecting any other games?

Satoshi Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 You gotta be kidding me o.O I just went back to the game to Platinum it and online portion is dead? Is it really confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VazzVegas Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 You gotta be kidding me o.O I just went back to the game to Platinum it and online portion is dead? Is it really confirmed? No one will confirm or deny. All Sony support agents are denying that the problem exists or are ignoring it. Evolution Studios have smartly made it impossible to contact them. I`m thinking the only way is to post on their Driveclub twitter account but I don`t do Twitter so i`ll have to figure it out first. I would encourage anyone with Twitter to try it because I honestly don`t know if they`re even aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misbik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ugh, I JUST started playing this game a day or two ago and was hoping to knock out the MP trophies this weekend. Such well laid plans, hosed by a system update They better fix it!! I don't want an incomplete game in my trophy list!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy apparently tries to do something. https://twitter.com/mark_smallman/with_replies But it appears that @AskPlaystation replied to him that servers are no longer available :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misbik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 If I keep trying over and over I can eventually get it past the "Communicating with server" message to where it lets you create or find a match, but I can never get past that. I'm not sure if that means it DID connect to the servers for a brief second to get to that point or not....but it always freezes on me when trying to go past that point.

LegendKiIIer1 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just got a reply from Evolution Studios on Twitter. "PSN team are looking into this & will get MSA servers up ASAP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djhmetfan2 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 They are the ones behind MS:A? Probably moved resources from MS:A to Driveclub and screwed up. Very interesting issue...I was planning on playing the game in the next two months as well...I guess that is put on hold for time being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VazzVegas Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 A couple of us got this reply on twitter: https://twitter.com/PhenomEvolution/status/536925366678724609 I'm still skeptical but at least we got a reply and they are aware there's a problem; that's a start.

Misbik Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That's great news! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this and when the servers do get fixed I'll be knocking the MP trophies out ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Read about that as well. First good news in a while. (On the other hand, it's in hand of the guys who still haven't apparently fixed the issue with DRIVECLUB... ) That's great news! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this and when the servers do get fixed I'll be knocking the MP trophies out ASAP!

prarpin Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I just check the board to see if the online was still up a few days before this happened. This is super annoying considering i already started the game. I do like how positive everybody feels about the response from the devs however i know big business well. Nothing is all good until the online is back up and running. This would be the first game on my trophy list that i cannot obtain 100% on. Very frustrating. I have a bad feeling about this one fellas. If i was a betting man, I'd bet on never seeing th mp section working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ok, it appears to really be due to the PS3 update. Jamie and PSN team seem to be working on it. Good news, good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBunny Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Arrrhh just when I had 5 mp trophies to go. I Have some hope at least after seeing the twitter replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsishi Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I sure hope they get the ship righted and soon! I was thinking "Ah, I'll get back to leveling up after awhile because this is taking so long..." Boy, how wrong I was. If/when the MP is back up I am blitzing this stupid thing! All the way to 40!

prarpin Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 This is a case of "pass the buck." On evolutions twitter they are saying that sony is working on a fix. I inquired on Sony's twitter and they just passed it back to evolution. We're fucked kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddymoo Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Not sure if its been released yet - soon as I know I'll post. I only had the 250 point drift trophy to go. Gaaah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misbik Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) As of now, 8:19 AM EST (GMT-4) in the US region, my PS3 is still on update 4.66 and there are no system updates available to download. So we're still currently on the old, broken version. But this does sound promising!!! Edited December 3, 2014 by Misbik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
