DriveClub Should Now Work for the "Majority" of Players, Says Evolution Studios

DriveClub developer Evolution Studios says that the “majority” of players should now be able to enjoy the game without connection issues.

Since launch the racing game has been plagued by netcode issues, resulting in frustrated players and the delay of the pared-down PS Plus version of the game.

"We're still improving server performance to get all of you enjoying full online connectivity together, but the majority of Driveclub players should now be able to connect and play online," said Evolution in a Facebook post.

"More server updates and upgrades are coming online over the weekend, so while this work continues you may still experience some issues with connectivity but please keep trying. When you do get connected you can go online, play for your club, use your club cars, play multiplayer races, compete in face-offs, and compare your best times and scores with everyone on the leaderboards. 

‘This is in addition to playing in Tour mode, creating your own single events and customising your cars in your garage (which you can do offline too)."

"We will continue to keep you informed as we make progress and we know we've said this before but we mean it: We know how frustrating it is when you can't get connected and we feel it too,” added the studio.

“We are working flat out to get online sign-in, multiplayer racing and leaderboards running smoothly for everyone, all of the time.

"We can't thank you enough for your messages of support and feedback during the past week, so please keep talking to us and sharing your thoughts about the game while you play."

  • Only lost connection once, and I got it back almost immediately. Aside from some of the features being switched off, I can't see any problems.
  • They will just get it all fixed and then put it on PS+ and be back at square one.
  • @#2 Can you read me my future as well, please?
  • The only thing that doesn't work for me are the challenges. Other than that, the face-offs and previous sector time indicators take about a lap to pop up.
  • @3 - 2 has a good point. Since they haven't 100% solved this, opening it up to a flood of Plus users could well bring the whole thing down again. Certainly that is not an unprobable scenario. What they should have done is pull the online entirely, from all versions of the game, for a week or two, get it fixed, then open it back up. Frustrating, but probably would have been a more practical solution.
  • I like how the big question that is on everone's mind...they do not answer: "When will you make it available to PS Plus users?!"
  • Screw the "majority" let us know when you have fixed it for everyone , everywhere .
  • I'm not the majority :(
  • @3 NO, because after that you will want to know the lottery numbers. :-)
  • Broken ass game evolution studios suck. The only game you've made that worked was the first motorstorm.
  • Only 3 weeks too late.
  • Refunded my money !
