Twisted Metal Server Status Update

Taking to his Twitter account like he normally does, David Jaffe gave the latest rounds of updates in regards to Twisted Metal server status and its online component. As a recap, since it’s Valentine’s Day launch, Twisted Metal fans have been reporting issues with online match making. The errors which are plaguing users tend to appear as a ‘cannot connect’ issue and can happen in any mode. One cause of this has been narrowed down to a code glitch where when a user enters a full game and instead of being notified of a full room, is instead told that the server ‘cannot connect.’

To address this, Sony is taking down the servers shortly for 15 minutes to push a patch which should hopefully address this code glitch. Once in place, Sony will once again restore the servers and begin assessing the true ‘cannot connect’ error and begin to work on a fix. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, it’s always refreshing to see someone like David so passionate about his work and giving it to players straight.

In the next hour, that will let Sony then see an accurate failure rate of connect. Without this, very hard for us to know when it’s a full

Room issue vs. a genuine ‘can not connect’ issue. Totally know we have genuine ‘can not connect’ issues but not sure the extent. This will
