    I think he means shocked that it's taking this long...as in it started two years ago and hasn't gotten much, if any, better.

      Well I played the game last year offline without any server errors, I get server errors now when I log in. I don't really play online. I gave up on that after it seems The Show never works online like it should.

        online worked great last year once the fixed that botched release. played probably 300 lag free online games and never had a drop or disconnect...

            SDS is getting absolutely roasted on twitter. This is a terrible look. Sad to see really, considering the game itself is really good.

              Might as well give up tonight. I played got into about 7 games from 3pm-6pm with only 4 finishing and not freezing. Looks like you can't even get into games now.

                Small studio + tons of new consumers and higher than anticipated demand = downed servers.

                Servers crash the beginning of every year. Traffic is probably 10x what it will be for the rest of the year.

                Please, please give them a break. Servers are frakin expensive, and not exactly easy to maintain.

                    Sorry, this is bunk. They are a business and businesses invest in capital. Second, they knew exactly how many games were preordered and therefor had a good idea of how many people were likely to log on (they also knew how many non-preordered hard copies shipped too). They likely had a very good idea of what initial demand was going to be and how much server capacity they had. It sure appears as though they chose not to invest in server capacity to meet initial demand intentionally.

                      That was me and I'm still cheesed off about it since you get no response from sds.

                        Not that rank 5 is hard to get back to, it's just that it was painful to get there in the first place with all the server errors!

                              Bullsh@%, any good development company knows about scalability. There are plenty of solutions available to gear up for high volume traffic at release. They could simple rent additional server space/bandwith at a good enterprise data-center for a week or two. There is no excuse in 2017 for this to occur with last years sales being over 1.03M copies in 2016.

                              This is likely one of two things, a calculated risk that they are willing to take as a hit on their PR. Ask yourself this question, after nearly 48hrs its still not fixed, yah! The fix is simple, wait until the traffic fits into the projections and call it a day. The other question is why does this happen every year. No its not because of to much traffic, its because someone has the idea that scalability is what happens a week after release because the customer has walked away and just has to grin and bear it.

                              Thats my rant, because it takes me 1-3min to see the stats of each dam card. Actually now that i think of it, this might not be a San Diego Studios issue as it might be Sony PlayStation that owns and operates the data-centers.

                                Could not agree more. Business 101. They happily send out the supply, but have absolutely failed at keeping up with the demand.
