kraven_15 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 According to our 'unachievable trophies' thread, this platinum is now impossible due to server closure. Thought people should be aware before installing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorgrim Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 FIUUU!!!! I'm working on the plat for this game these days, but, fortunately, the online trophies I got a long time ago... It's nice to be foresighted Rally-HO:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraven_15 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Me too, I'm glad I got them done. Apparently there was no warning either. One guy emailed the company and they said the servers were gone. Anyway, I haven't confirmed myself but anyone else able to confirm as well would be nice too.

Kitford001 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I've done some digging, and according to some people, the servers are still up, but they are pretty buggy and often don't let you connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoStraniero91 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So servers are still up in some way? I'm interested in this game and the trophies seem not that hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teravius Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 As far as i know servers can be really troublesome to make connection but should work. Without boosting partner that tries connect in the same while you won't find anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semifreak de Bolacha Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah, i never could get this platinum because i just got online once. Every other tries were failure... Nice to see companies selling games with features that suck. Besides, i don't even see the point in the online in this game.. but thats just me who hates online trophies Edited October 12, 2012 by Semifreak de Bolacha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alindawyl Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 When in doubt, do what I did - ask Codemasters. They confirmed that the game is no longer playable online. I specifically asked about the PS3 version of the game. The reason I did that is because when Codemasters closed the servers for the first Overlord around the release of Overlord 2, that affected PS3 and PC but didn't affect XBL. Microsoft hosts the online for pretty much all games on XBL other than games from EA (hosting the games themselves is one of the reasons Microsoft charge gamers for XBL Gold), so they don't use the servers from Codemasters. The same should hold true for Overlord 2. So if you see someone claim they can still play Overlord 2 online, make sure they aren't an Xbox gamer. Not only is this not the first server closure from Codemasters, this isn't even the first unannounced server closure from Codemasters. They shut down the GRID servers last year with no warning. And they ended Dirtnet support for Dirt 2 about the same time they closed the Overlord 2 servers, also with no warning.

Ryukori Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Just as I was going to get them, I see that the servers are down. What a huge disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Bonk Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Surely glad I signed up to this site to find a boosting partner for these online trophies six months ago. You could say I got them at the right time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiphos08mp Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well this is sucky news. =[ Not even a way to set up a private server running on a PC and somehow tricking the game into logging into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figma Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well this is sucky news. =[ Not even a way to set up a private server running on a PC and somehow tricking the game into logging into it? No, you cant go online by any means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 No, you cant go online by any means This^Â Once the servers close for a console game, they stay that way and there's nothing you can do about it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like connect two controllers and then just use one of them to hit the criteria. I can see the obvious reasons as to why they WOULDN'T allow this in game though =/ I mean, the trophies don;t specify it HAS to be online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When a guide says a trophy is online, you can believe it. This is 100% unobtainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrit1321 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Not to be bothersome, but are the servers actually offline, or are people still able to rarely connect on the game? The online trophies are a few of the last ones I need. It'd be nice to be able to get them. If anyone's willing to try, feel free to add me, my gamer tag is the same as my username.

Terminator Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 They are 100% confirmed as being permanently offline, the Developers themselves confirmed it some months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomKeifer Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well this stinks. Just started playing it. And to think I was gonna play this last year I would've gotten the plat. Oh, well since I already installed it I'll just grab what I can. I'm not gonna stress myself over this, if it's out of my hands there's nothing I can do. I already gave up on a couple of plats b/c of lack of skill or it's too time consuming like GH: Smash Hits and Resistance 2. But this way it's not my fault (could've played it sooner, but whatever).
