Tried playing this morning server was down. Oddly enough got no messages about needing ps+? Anyone played without it yet?
Glad I decided to have a good night’s rest. Seems like I haven’t missed much.
Happy the beta will be prolonged!
Jesus were they not ready at all? Wonder what the hell happened. At the very least I’m happy they extended the beta time, that’s actually surprisingly nice of them I’ve never seen other beta programs pull that shit before, nearly all betas have rocky starts when the floodgates open at the very beginning.
Same thing that happens whenever any game has online issues, too much load compared to what they expected.
Not exactly anything new, admins will often be conservative in what they expect in a test of server load. Because it’s better to see how much it actually takes to stress the servers so you actually know this, instead of over allocating and then not finding out the limits until later on.
its almost 3am pst … get ready to DP everyone online … lol
We will see about that. Hold onto ya butts.
Is it playable?
Server is still offline.
EDIT: The errors that are coming out have changed. First it was just being unable to connect to the server, but now it’s saying something about the Update Server.
instead of getting to the startscreen all i’m getting is a blackscreen and the error msg about the update server
It still says offline on the official website, but I suppose some progress has had to have been made in the last 8 hours.
they did mention the beta would be maintenance/updated daily so maybe that still going on . the daily update
The annoying thing is that they gave an ETA, which was 3AM PST. In my old job in IT, if you gave an ETA and didn’t make it (or didn’t update if you were going to miss it), there would be serious repercussions. Sadly, this doesn’t seem to be the case in games.
Better they tackle login issues and problems now than at launch.
I think this is why people are mad more than anything. We all know it’s a beta and bugs are to be expected, but if you give certain expectations, then they should be met. They said they were working on it since 7:30 last night, then they say the regularly scheduled maintenance would still be happening from 11 to 1, then they extend it for 2 more hours until 3 a.m. it is now almost 3:40 and the servers are still down. Don’t give an ETA if you don’t plan on meeting it.
yep. i am running out of patience :[)
Capcom UK just tweeted that servers are back online.
still not working darn
According to the street fighter beta website servers are still offline.
The website says the servers are offline
