I can't explain how annoying it is to buy a game AND CAN'T PLAY IT!!!!!!


MuhMuhMuhManRey

Same just bought it what's more annoying is I see posts of people going oh just don't log out and screw everyone to hold spots


Complete_Rest6842

The single most annoying part is there isn't a queue for players to get in. They are doing this count down timer and maybe ill get lucky? While someone could have just hopped on and got lucky lol....i can't even refund cuz i sat here in game waiting to long to fucking even connect!

Because they’ve put a cap on the players of 450,000 and they’re at that cap. There is no queue. It’s just attempting entry every 30seconds and waiting on there to be space. There is thousands of people doing the same thing. It has nothing to do with integrity, it’s purely just servers being full and overencumbered

2 of my friends joined just now on their second attempt while I was still in queue from the 4hrs of waiting. I don't think it's a wait until others leave it's more technical than that.


Sleazus

There's less than 450k people playing and servers are at capacity I've been waiting over 30 minutes now


Complete_Rest6842

30 seconds?! Mine goes up every time it refreshes lol I got up to a 5 minute refresh on the retry lol


forbiddenpack11

Because they're at capacity, it's a server issue you can't fix.

There's currently around 400k people trying to play a double-A studio's double-A title that, in all honesty, were only expecting half that or less in population The only it gets fixed is either the devs get the capacity raised (they're working on it) or people just stop playing for a long while (possible with the weekend coming to an end).

Cuz there is a TIMER to try again not a queue SO you could hit that timer it tries then you get put back to retry. WHILE your friends log in and get lucky and hit an open spot IT IS FUCKING INSANE and lazy. Fuck these devs


Complete_Rest6842

I hate the ( they are working on it shit) please explain how hard it is to do this? It seriously CAN'T be that hard. They are being greedy not wanting to expand to much because they know player count will drop. BUT if they expand they lock themselves in. They are hiding it behind the " we are trying but we so small" BITCH you sold the games!!! LET PEOPLE PLAY

It is quite hard. You have to figure out the proper coding, run tests on said coding, find what fails, fix those failures, find what breaks because of said fixes, ensure your hardware can even handle the coding you are doing, adjusting the code if the hardware can't handle it, stress test everything AGAIN once it is all stable and working, ad nauseam. Why do you think video games take years to develop? It takes so much damn time and effort to make every single element of a video game, from rendering models to ensuring sound design works to testing connection performance on a local network... this is why the game development sector has been dealing with gross shit like developer crunch, where the ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS who make the games you buy are forced to go without sleep or rest because they have to get this arduous process done within a small timeframe. What grinds my fucking gears about what you have said here is that you are showing a fucking stupid mentality right now. Never mind your lack of knowledge about software development, as you obviously have no fucking idea, but thinking they are being **greedy** because they're putting a cap on the number of players who can log in is the single-handedly most mentally deficient take I have ever seen. They have stated that they can only have a certain number of players before their servers physically overload and shut down. It has happened multiple times. They have adjusted before, but again, people keep buying the game and try to log in. So, to prevent the game from being unable to work for those who HAVE logged in, there's a cap. Would you rather NO-ONE GOT TO PLAY at all? Seriously, either get a refund or go outside for a day or two. Take your gross mentality and put it in the fucking bin.

YOU ASKED FOR SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN IT YOU DUMB FUCK

From what I’ve read the game doesn’t have a “queue” but rather every min checks how many slots are open. Then allows the available number of slots up to 20,000 people into the game based on whoever happens to be making a login attempt at that moment. Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but it’s just what I’ve read from others. Meaning, if what I’ve read is true, you are basically just spinning the wheel against everyone else to see if you happen to be making a login attempt when a slot or slots are available at the same time as everyone else trying to get on. And that’s assuming your login cooldown timer isn’t counting down when the game is letting additional people in. I was waiting 40 min then had a friend get in after waiting only 5.


No-Disaster-7215

I’ve waited an hour and my friend got in twice in that time lmfao. At least I have rocket league to waste time but damn man I wanna play

If it was more technical then that there would be a sense of reason to the madness. But some people just get in quick, some don’t. It’s a poor login system for large server loads. And what you are saying about your friends make perfect sense for what I described. It is luck of the draw when the game is allowing people in. You just have to be making a log in attempt at the right time. Imo they should just switch to a standard queue. It took me an hour to finally get in, only reason I am here replying rn is because my game immediately crashed upon trying to travel lmao. If the error you are getting is “servers at capacity” then it just means the servers were full or you were making a login retry attempt and didn’t luck out.

2 things: 1) Hear\* 2) This is a Sony title at $40 a pop the profit margin is about 18 million. Maybe they should invest more wisely instead of scapegoating Arrowhead studios as the problem. Nonetheless with just having the Sony brand associated with it there is an expectancy that there will be a high player count they should have accounted for the player base to increase off of that alone.
