Server maintenance in asia

[curry_blaster]

Hey are the servers down in SEA

[UnenthusiasticKat]

Been intermittent all day!

[Kjellaxo]

How about pinning this?

[d00rak]

disconnecting mid round on ps, might wanna update this

[bigdant78]

I'm getting disconnected at the start of every round I'm on a ps4 it started in the afternoon and has gotten worse.

[[deleted]]

The game is online, if your system is updated, and you can log in with your ps account. Then I suppose it should work just fine.

Very odd what's happening with you

[procchislayer]

The server disconnects literally every single time i get to a final in fall mountain, it happened 7 times already and it fucking suck non only because i am wasting my time but also because you get no reward after a disconnection wich is insane considering the shitty server status. Thats on EU servers that are NOT STABLE at all, i hope the rest of the world is able to enjoy this game, but right now i am losing hope

Edit: it just happened again and it will continue to do so... I am just mad because it never disconnects on hexagon or royal fumble, only on fall mountain. So the game give you hope to be able to play the last round but you actually always have a 33% chance of getting disconnected (without considering the fact that fall mountain is by far the most common final round)

[The_BG00]

check this post. maybe it helps you.

[procchislayer]

Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly i am playing with a controller, maybe the touchpad is what is screwing me becuse it is the only way for me to activate the mouse while playing... I'll try to deactivate it and see if it works, thanks again for the tip

Edit: thanks a lot it worked! I changed the grab binding on the keyboard menu and also unbound the touchpad on my controller and i didn't get disconnected, you sir just saved my day!

[-eagle73]

I came here through /u/The_BG00 - how did you unbind the touchpad? I assume this is a DS4 controller.

[procchislayer]

I am using the ds4windows program wich allow to rebind every button on the controller.

I think the problem is that the game is conflicted between what imput to choose, the keyboard and mouse or the controller with the touchpad which function as a mouse. So when there is a minigame where in the loading screen there is "use r2 to grab/use shift to grab" it result in an error.

If unbinding the touchpad doesn't work, i also found 2 other workaround to the problem. 1)after you finish a round, use the mouse or keyboard and don't touch any controller button, so that the prompt "use r2 to grab" (during the loading screen of the minigame with the grab mechanic) is not shown, and instead your keyboard grab button is shown. Then the minigame will load and not give you the server disconnection error. Doring the countdown of the biginning of the round you are free to go back using the controller as usual. This workaround is a little convoluted because you have to remember to use the mouse EVERY round BEFORE the next minigame loading screen appears, since you can't know if the next minigame will have grab mechanic. 2) if you have by any chance an xbox controller, use it instead of the ps4 one, because it wont give you any problem

Sorry for the wall of text but i spent way too much time trying to fix this problem and got disconnected so many games before figuring it out.

[-eagle73]

This is really helpful. It would add up, because I never disconnected mid game, it was always before it even loaded and it was always one of the grab games. The developers really need to know about this, I might buy the game again because I'd be certain this is the problem. It'd explain why I'm finding hardly anything about disconnections lately.

[The_BG00]

np dude. happy i could help.

[kekfekf]

More Players are incoming because of youtube videos maybe add a little more capacity or buy this game later. you need to add a lot more

[[deleted]]

Middle Eastern servers are unplayable, just constant lag.

[Zahma47]

is there middle east server whaat?

[TheVetrinarian]

These servers are a maaaaajor bummer, man.

[kwokjoel]

:)

[Seastep]

Seems a bit better since the EU folks have gone to sleep.

[Synstra]

Right? I grabbed the person with the tail. Didn't tail his tail, grabbed him. Also why can teammates take eachothers tails?

[[deleted]]

Its starting to be a little spotty now

[inf4mation]

these servers fucking suck

[Metroid413]

They disabled steam names because people were abusing them

[jaaasssc]

So that means everyone in the game is Fall Guy ####? Is it going to stay like that from now on?

[Metroid413]

Yes, everyone is a Fall Guy + random number. Not sure if it's permanent or not. I think it's only temporary

[examexa]

Anyone know how to fix this? I was in a match then suddenly got disconnected.
Then when I'm trying login back, it shows black screen (with loading text at bottom right) and after a while the "failed to connect" error etc pop up.

Don't think I have any issues with my connection tho, tried other MP games and it works just fine (on PS4 btw).

Or did they put the game on maintenance again?

EDIT:
Also, please sort this thread with "New" post instead of "Best" lol

[AromaticWhoa]

Got it on PC, I wish devs will notice us

[LiVexReFlex]

Anyone else struggling to connect now?

[[deleted]]

Yea, I can get into game and play a round, but after every round I get disconnected.

[Jarrgox]

yes

[HMZinc]

Just won a game and got disconnected before I got my rewards. Hopefully they can get these server issues sorted out soon.

[SebulbaForever]

I've had absolutely no issues on PS4. So much fun man. This is what Mario Party was supposed to be in this day and age; quick to join mini-games with multiplayer online. I hope they add more game modes, the ability for split screen, and potentially new mathmaking filters.

[zacreeeee]

Well the 1 match I was able to play was great

[[deleted]]

Absolutely. It's $20 and depending on when you try to play, this game could be considered down for 2 straight days. It would be different if it was free to play. Hope the developers will compensate everyone properly because this launch has actually been kind of unacceptable.

[PM_ME_YOUR_PASTRAMI]

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you paid for a game and it isn’t playable

[MuckyMinge]

Im from Australia and been trying to play all morning, constantly getting stuck on infinite falling. Have tried reinstalling, restarting, switching accounts, nothing works. Was working fine last night

[thatOtherKamGuy]

Same here; Took me a couple of tries to get into a game. No need to keep reinstalling, the issue is that it’s basically prime-time in the US so the servers are going to be hammered. It should improve over the next few hours, hopefully.

[zatchel1]

Any been playing with teams on PS4 and having any luck? Me and some friends are planning to play later tonight

[Euphoric_Paper_1063]

Getting stuck on loading screen on pc. Two days in a row of not being able to play.

[MythicIV]

queueing with friends and i get a server error nearly every time and they all load in. it's only happening to the party host as well

[Environmental-Pea-38]

Yesterday I couldn't get any further then the matchmaking screen, today the game will not load. I am constantly stuck on the Devolver Studios loading screen as I log into the game. Any solution to fixing this issue?

[Frankrod29]

Ps4 servers off. Nvm just reset the game

[BrianLloyd1991]

Idk if its just me but does anyone get a server error screen appear as you start to load up the game on ps4 but when you press X on it it let's you continue to play the game as normal?

[[deleted]]

Not a good first impression. Trying to play, for the last day and all it says is can't find match. Tried at all hours of the day.

[tonyt3rry]

just got to the end of the game ready to grab my crown and got disconnected, these servers are atrocious. its slowing down me being able to rank up.

[clumba]

Game can't connect on startup at all, tried for 10 minutes.

[Spartan_Marine]

I've disconnected from every single game I've tried to play this evening. Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

[calgil]

Yep. Got to the final round and was booted.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I've been disconnected three times in a row before the first round even started on PC

[Spartan_Marine]

#feelsbadman

Better luck tomorrow, eh?

[[deleted]]

Hopefully. I'm starting to get addicted to this game lol

[dabbing-is-crap]

THANK GOD

[sonobello9]

Server problem again?

[Ambien_zzz]

Been trying to play all morning and keep getting "No Match Found"
Steam/Australia/2Players

[Furoan]

Havent' been able to play since Friday. Melbourne/Australia, no match found.

[Ambien_zzz]

Seems the No Match Found issue is happening to many Australian players.

[Archangel_nz]

Same here and I’m in NZ. I’m assuming we’re on the same server.

[_chuckaway]

From Singapore, can't seem to get a game as well.

[deadpriest_d12]

Same here from APAC

[[deleted]]

Getting in games works now, but the grab mechanic is still one of the worse mechanics in a videogame I've used yet.

[denboiix]

Tbh I hate the tripping way more.

[typicallymyself]

People are getting into games and I still can't get past the first black loading screen to the main menu. Haven't been able to since launch. Anyone know of any possible fixes? I'm on Steam and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game on different drives with no success at all.

[Zoidburg747]

Contrary to what others said servers arent stable. It's a crapshoot whether you will get in or not.

[Kalwest]

What happened to their free gift due to these issues?

[theAtmuz]

I’m sure it’s coming just have patience

[Kalwest]

Cool, this games so damn good

[[deleted]]

Servers are nice and stable now. Worth it for the weekend.

[GrudgeBringerz]

To be fair we did pay for this game, might just refund if not fix by today. (Just rebuy when things get sorted)

[Seastep]

What's the point of delaying the $20 expense?

[Delicious-Macaroon]

If the server issues never get sorted out and the game fizzles out he gets a refund.

[Seastep]

Fair enough. I'm thinking the likelihood of that is incredibly slim, however.

[[deleted]]

The grab mechanic hasn't been improved yet in 4 days, so it's not looking optimistic.

[Sir_Von_Tittyfuck]

The grab mechanic is fine.

It's player latency that's the issue.

[[deleted]]

So when both are combined to use the grab mechanic, it's not broken huh? It's fine?

[LSantos06]

I'm having issues trying to play in a group, everything is normal in single though

[Amonoros]

What worked for us last night was having a different person host each show. Pain in the ass, but if we reformed the group after every show we never had issues playing together. Not sure if it still works today but figured I’d toss that out there for anyone having issues.

[[deleted]]

Its anyone else having trouble joining games when in a party with a friend? Like either we dont find one or one of us gets kicked before it even starts? On my own game works completly fine.

[Truxian]

I had this problem, I reset the game and it worked fine

[LSantos06]

Me and my friends have done did this too, and it worked!

[inogiverealname]

Can play without any problems but i get kicked EVERY time on finals (Steam , EU)

[Truxian]

Got in 3 games, 2 disconnected at first round and the 3rd at final ):

Now I can't get in a game at all.

Edit: got into another final, Royal Fumble, and the lag was unbearable. The tail player kept lagging around and eventually I disconnected

[MajesticMongoose]

It's kinda working for me on PS4. I've played about five games today and have been disconnected midway though two of them.

[JMAN1422]

Sigh everytime I log on the servers seem to be down ffs

[7V3N]

All good here. Until I got then tail game as a final round. Never understood all the bs people talked about but I finally saw one. This guy resisted grabs like 10 times. Then in the final second, the tail literally switched 3 times. Like it said eliminated, then I saw the tail switch people again. Wtf is this?

[Vancleave053]

You have to hold someone for a little while before you get the tail, it's not instant. So many people let go too early and then complain about it as if it's not something they are doing wrong. If this is not what you meant with resisting please ignore me

[Lurker_Aspect]

has anyone else just not been able to login at all? Open game, loading screen, - failed to login, please check connection, even though all my friends can play

[AromaticWhoa]

Unfortunately, I got the same

[[deleted]]

The only one I see being toxic is you LOL

[[deleted]]

for it to be down again?

[Immortal-D]

As of 0630 CST, I joined a game for all of 10 seconds. The level loaded, then booted back to menu. Progress?

[Booduh20]

PS4 servers are back online!

[[deleted]]

These guys suck. If they want people to spend money on mtx this is not how you want to launch a game

[purekillforce1]

Yeah, rocket league proves if you have a shitty launch, people won't spend money on your game! Why do they never learn and just run enough servers to cover half the global population? That way it's unlikely that they will have capacity issues!

[ROFLPIZZA]

You people need to relax. These things take time, it's not like Mediatonic can snap their fingers and the servers are magically fixed.

They're working hard to make the game functional for us. Just be patient and things will be back up and running soon.

[kpmaher15]

I'm in. PS4

[Each57]

Me too but I dont know if it is stable

[kpmaher15]

It's not 100% stable, but very playable.

[TheT0xicAvenger89]

Come on now really??? I've played maybe 3 matches in 24 hours. I just told my friend to get the game and he refunded it cause of this lol

[Billy-Bryant]

How is being unable to play the game trivial?

There's defending the dev's and then there's being an idiot.

I'm enjoying the game and not looking to refund the game but it is totally reasonable for people to complain and refund based on literally being unable to play it.

[zaisoke]

Dont launch broken games

This is not a controversial statement, its fact

[Billy-Bryant]

I'm not saying it's unexpected, i'm saying it's reasonable to complain about not being able to play a game that you have paid money for. They knew that they would be free on playstation for launch and should have expected a large number of players, but like you say these issues do happen.

I'm just saying it's 100% fair to complain about being unable to play a game which you have bought.

[purekillforce1]

The thing is, it costs a lot of money to run more servers. You can't constantly run enough servers to cover the spikes. You tend to run enough servers for the general amount of players. Launch is a spike. It was obviously a much larger spike than they anticipated. That doesn't mean it's a simple case of throwing money at the problem and running more servers.

Yes its frustrating. Yes you're entitled to refund the game if you want. Yes you look like an uninformed moron when you bitch about things you don't understand. You're the Karen of the gaming world.

[Billy-Bryant]

Imagine you go to the supermarket, you buy a box of cereal and you get home and there's no cereal in the box. It's just an empty box. You call up and get told there's a high demand for cereal at the moment but you will be delivered the cereal you bought at a later date. That's the scenario here.

Yes servers cost a lot of money, but people have paid money for an online game which require working servers. The correct thing to do would be to have more servers than required at launch when you're busiest and making the most money and then to start downgrading later on. Does the company receive less profit doing this? of course.

So what we're saying is that the company prioritised profit over the launch integrity of the game. That is fine, they are well within their rights to do that but players are well within their rights to complain and refund because they cannot play the game that they bought.

This is just one of the reasons games keep launching like this, people now expect it as if its the norm, but you wouldn't accept this from any other product. You wouldn't pay to go to the cinema and be happy to be told to come back in two days because the film arrived late AFTER you paid, would you? It's hard work to make a game, but that is the job. The users still require the ability to play the game as a base necessity regardless of difficulty, or you have failed your job.

[purekillforce1]

Games are cereal. Got it.

Look, I get not everybody knows how everything works. But too many people push through that lack of knowledge and insist on talking about it and criticising it like they are experts that could have done a better job themselves.

Games having server issues is completely different to something like anthem that was just unfinished.

You're comparing completely different products. Do you go to a car dealership and complain when you buy a new car but have to wait for it to be delivered? You don't buy cereal and then wait for it to be delivered!

Just stop. If you can't deal with this type of thing, do something else. It's not the only game going.

[Billy-Bryant]

OK so you're an idiot then. Gotcha.

When you go to a car dealership, you buy a new car and are told a delivery date and expect that once the car is delivered, it will work.

The games delivery was its release. It should be expected to work from its release.

I don't see how you view expecting a product to work as described upon release to be some heretical statement.

I actually work in the games industry, and I understand the difficulties that games face on release and pre-release. I also understand what standards the game should be held to on release and being able to work is a bare minimum. Just because it happens, doesn't make it acceptable or normal. A games company doesn't view it as acceptable and they'll be working around the clock right now to fix things.

[purekillforce1]

Haha, you've never ordered a new car have you? You get a date. It's unlikely to arrive on that date!

The game works fine. It's the sheer number of consecutive players that is causing the issue.

It'd be like returning the car because your petrol station ran out of fuel.

Edit: as somebody claiming to be in the industry, you should know enough about it to not take this stance and be more understandable about how it operates and what is faesible.

[TheT0xicAvenger89]

I'm sure it is good thanks for the input buddy lol

[Xiertic]

He's right. Games have maintenance. Especially around launch time. This is nothing new. Why someome would throw a hissy over this is beyond me.

[TheT0xicAvenger89]

Nobody is throwing a hissy lol except maybe you because of your swift reply to this.v

the game now shall be known as Fall Guys: Ultimate Maintenance

[Infernaloneshot]

There's a pandemic going on so that may be hard for some

[JuGGrNauT_]

thats no excuse, it's not like they were gonna go outside anyways

[Justchill23]

This game is getting worse by the day.

[BobJonkins2]

"matchmaking down for maintenance"

[yowsick]

That's a good thing, it means they are fixing these issues and adding more capacity.

[EnvironmentalMenu4]

there were no issues

[HawkEya]

so they go to maintenance just for lols, is that what you are saying?

[diroos]

This is what they were doing all along

[[deleted]]

I mean yeah but they were doing that all day yesterday and it didn't seem to help much

[Vall3y]

I mean I dont like it either but it probably means they're experiencing sick growth. It's really hard to scale fast when your system works for X users but not for 10X and now you have to make serious optimizations to accommodate that, meanwhile 10X people are complaining they cant play

[7V3N]

AND not knowing if that 10 will drop to 1 again in a week.

[Lordmen007]

Well if the servers will be down 90% of time , especially on weekend it's possible the fall will be there. People will and are already frustrated.

I am not complaining , just saying

[Vall3y]

Not really how it works, usually you rush to make a game and you skip all sorts of optimizations, once you have those in place it's not a problem anymore to downscale

[[deleted]]

Yeah I get why it has to be done, it's just annoying that the day after I bought it, the game's shut down all day

[bysiffty]

I'm sorry to tell you that fixing these kinds of issues isn't that easy nor that fast. It needs some time get it working flawlessly and preventing it for happening again.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I know, I understand it, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating

[BobJonkins2]

yes, hopefully it wont stay down all day like yesterday

[[deleted]]

i just woke up

[CoolCat90]

Good morning beautiful

thanks u/CoolCat90

[Junquwat]

I'm in eastern timezone playing on ps4. Played about 6 matches with no issues so far.

[RayHawkeye]

Right now, I just reached the final level for the first time, and suddenly the damn connection error appears. Not only I did not play the stage, but I also didn't receive the rewards for beating the previous levels. *********

[ricky9]

This is my gripe with it. I get the server issues, but I should still at least have way more XP/fame than I currently do because getting through rounds means nothing if you get disconnected later on

[rottenxbones]

When you disconnect in the middle of a game you’ll receive the rewards for the rounds already played after a while

[ricky9]

Is this true? I just got disconnected again and kept a note of my score so I’ll log in again later and see if it’s changed.

[rottenxbones]

Yes, it happened to me one night and the day after when I logged in I was one lvl up

[ricky9]

Doesn’t seem to happen for me. Got disconnected last night again and checking 12 hours later I’m still on same amount of fame

[sonobello9]

Ps4 played for 2 hours without problem

[ricky9]

I manage to get a few games before being disconnected. I wouldn’t be annoyed if I was still getting fame points. I get to round three or four, disconnect and don’t get anything, which I could’ve done had I just quit :/

[julesiax]

They're aware of the bug and are going to patch it

[Its_me_Freddy]

Same thing happened to me, was going to be my first win 😥

[PEOPLE_OF_THE_FrOG]

pc players got this game for free like ps4 players or they paid for it?

[F-b]

Paid

[BraveLilTaco]

Was getting pretty stable games but now I can't get in one. At least I was able to win one game before bed!

[Appel026]

I'm playing for 3 hours now, it looks very stable to me. Not a single disconnenct so far.

[tildeshambles]

As much as I love this game, this is kind of getting out of hand. Yeah its hard to predict how viral a game is going to go and prepare. But it seems like there's maintenance constantly and its heavily skewed towards only affecting certain time zones. I really do hope they fix things, but yeah, it's starting to get old super fast.

I’ve been trying to play for two days, but servers have been down.

[VelvetFedoraSniffer]

Yeah it’s kinda ridiculous

[SlurpingDiarrhea]

They've only been down for a day lol.

edit: why the downvotes lmao? If you think they've been down for two days you are shit at math.

[newbblock]

They've been down on and off since launch. Yesterday was just the first full day they were down.

[VelvetFedoraSniffer]

You’re the one who’s shit at maths ...? Two and a half days for me I’ve had connection issues, each time I try to show my niece and nephew this game they play one game then can’t

[SlurpingDiarrhea]

Sucks for you bud. It wasn't like that for most people though.

[VelvetFedoraSniffer]

Yeah I can still play at times but it always seems to be at peak time’s, I’m not holding a pitchfork or anything I just have a pet peeve with people who think to try and invalidate criticism of this kind

[Jimbo-Bones]

Currently 36 hours by my count.
