Server maintenance??

[AMH_]

I was playing just fine. Then went to photo mode, now I cannot connect to the server due to 'maintenance'

Anyone else having this issue?
I'm in Canada.

same

I just got this as well... I hope we're able to play offline in the retail version. I'm loving this demo, but that's a bit ridiculous.

I'm in Canada too.

same - central USA, started trying out the demo less than an hour ago. Got two races in and 3 driving test. Hopefully it is only down for very short time.

Same here, Europe.

So I just fired up for the Demo 1st time after hours of download (took an afternoon-still quicker than I estimated with my connection but it still aint a 10 GB DL). Went trough mandatory settings prior to the menu screen and then trough driving school. completed the first 2 "missions" screen goes dark, pop up window tells me about server maintenace and that you can only save the game when you're online except in Arcade mode> I restart the game trying to check out the Arcade mode. Guess what, doesn't work in fact nothing is pickable anymore not even options lol. Gotta love these forced online requirements by Devs/Publishers. I'd like to hear a good explanation on why "Campaign" doesn't save at all when you're off but Arcade does.

I wonder how long is the maintenance going to last. I just got to the 30 lap endurance race but I can't save. I am hoping I can save once the servers come back up haha

So it begins. hahahahaha

What?!? They only give 4 days for the demo and pick now for server maintenance. Is the server just overloaded from so many people on?

 

[TA462]

Well I got almost 8 hours in before the server went down, lol.

Same here in the U.k. I guess its due to the amount of people logged in, but surely they should of prepared for that right?

 

[CrazyJohn]

I cannot even get in the gran turismo website.

I just wish they had the "save" feature for offline.
So that if you go through new things while "down" you can upload the save data once the servers come back.

My ps4 did that too.

 

[jake2013guy]

Yeah. I got maintenance too...

 

[Nasherwood]

I really hope the retail version isn't like this, there's absolutely no reason to lock all 'offline' functionality because the servers aren't working.

This game only being playable online is a terrible terrible terrible idea... times like this when PD does maintenance, the game will be just unplayable

 

[Leohjames2014]

I just got a new message that says "you must be connected to the server in order to proceed". What the hell is going on.

When Bungie does maintenance for Destiny 2, the servers are all offline. It's nothing new to be honest.

 

[cutmeamango]

According to the game's manual, you can use some functions while offline, but your progress won't be saved.

Whole demo is locked offline likely to avoid people playing it after the 12th.

And you agreed with server maintenances when you downloaded the demo. It's in the description.

I do hope someone hasn't taken the opportunity to DDOS the GT servers - that would be evil.

 

[kjeldsen]

Just returned from work like the rest of Europe, servers must be getting hammered

 

[danthespam]

I’ve played for about an hour, experienced several bugs and crashes before the server went down. I’ve loved GT since day one but polyphony really do test your patience at times. Doesn’t fill me full of confidence that the full release won’t have issues when it gets here...

 

[Tired Tyres]

Oh for 🤬 sake. I spend all day hearing about this and when I finally get home it's under maintenance.

 

[versous]

got about 2 minutes of playtime in driveschool at the maximum. Ah well
Yeah not the greatest hands-on. I like the Menu and music so far though.

 

[Danyutz]

This is why we have a public beta for 4 days. They are running tests prior official release. Absolutely normal.

LE: works now!

 

[Matypanda]

Yes same here.

 

[Rivanov]

Same here!
