Thats all they do, Wait weeks to get a game and then just mess it up when they do.

Was playing an event earlier when the challenges started to appear with 2 laps to go, one average speed for a set of corners was showing as 658 MPH !!! Really? I've also seen a couple of tracks where the leaders boards did pop up with laptimes of under 1 minute where its a normal 2-3 minute track. They need to get that sorted as well.

Finding it hard to believe its JUST server space problem now.

They've always said that they have a server load problem.

Getting fed up of the rammers, If you aint out in front your in trouble.

Why can't everyone just drive the perfect predictable racing line and make life easy for us?

During a 10 lap race against the AI I was kicked off the servers three times.

I'm out !

There's no fun in that but there's also none racing people who's only intent is to ram off as many players as they can.

Servers seem to be getting better online is great fun when you don't get to many people ramming.

Which I suspect is due to people not playing it, I see the same people in most lobbies when I manage to play.

so played this now and am over half way through Forza Horizon 2 on xbox1 and have come to the conclusion that Forza Horizon is much more fun than this. I play this and to me it has no soul, it lacks the fun, no ambient sound from people/crowds or anything except the car. It just seems weird for the amount of time spent on it.

So the game is still borked?

Back in a couple weeks then.

spookywillow · 26 Oct 2014 at 08:49

You can get online and play and pretty much stay on all night, not tried during the day as I'm at work.

Some things don't work still and you sometimes get kicked so have to join another race but it is getting better.

So here's the official response from my attempt to getting a refund.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your call about your Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) account.

I can see that you'd like a refund for your recent purchase of Driveclub from the PlayStation Store. Regrettably, as stated in the PlayStation Network Terms of Service, we are unable to offer a refund for purchases made on PlayStation Store unless the content is found to be defective.

For your reference, our Terms of Service can be found here.

Server performance is still being improved to ensure that all consumers are enjoying full online connectivity together, but the majority of Driveclub players should now be able to connect and play online.

We will continue to keep you informed through the DriveClub Facebook page and Twitter feed as further progress is made. We appreciate the frustration of users who cannot get connected and are working to improve this.

I hope this helps, but if you have any other questions please contact PlayStation Support using the contact details below or by replying to this e-mail.

Thank you,

Debbie
PlayStation Support

So they're saying Driveclub isn't defective?

Wow.

spookywillow · 26 Oct 2014 at 13:01

FB update

There are more servers coming online and there will be a significant server update to improve performance in the next 24 hours. We will also be running performance diagnostics around this update, but there shouldn't be much disruption or downtime.

This server update will improve online performance across the game and it also brings specific improvements for multiplayer racing and leaderboard updates.

More improvements will follow as we make progress on Sunday and Monday, but we still have more work to do to get everything back on track before we can give you any bigger or better news. We will keep you up to speed.

As always we appreciate your feedback about online play as it improves and about your time with the game in general, so please keep sharing with us.

You have to laugh or else we would cry, Sony really are a bunch of grade A BS'ers.

This game is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen. Did they spent the last year just having a massive circle jerk instead of making sure driveclub works? Coz it sure looks like it

antijoke · 26 Oct 2014 at 19:45

Lol still no PS+ edition.

****ing joke. It's going to be a disaster if they don't get it out before November.

That ain't gonna happen...

It does look very unlikely to make it.
