Server Update: April 4th 3:00pm PT - Xbox 360, PC and PS3

So yeah I get asked to create a character I go to the loading screen which turns to the black screen with so music and what sounds to be typing, then I go to a black screen which informs me when my controller disconnects. Im on the xbox 360 and I see other people on the forum starting to play. Not trying to bother anyone and im patient dont worry. Just wondering if I can do something to help; like delete the files and reinstall (I would rather not do this but I can).

I had the game installed i have been playing since yesterday on and off when the servers were up ... I get home from work and I download the new patch and then it tells me to "install game " even tho it was already installed so I hit install game anyway and the bar fills up immediately to about 3/4 full and stops then it says " critical failed to install necessary game file try again " is ANYBODY out there having this problem cuz I am starting to get pissed

had the same having to install the game but didnt get error just got a game worse off than it was before lol

It keeps saying the servers are unavailable, Is anyone else having the same problems?

Ps. I'm on PC

I understand & am very much aware that this is an MMO.. But all games should in some form or another have a single player mode that DOES NOT require being online to play.. 65$ (plus another 40$ for a DLC pass) is A LOT of money to spend on a game you can't even play.. I believe Cass said it right. "This is some serious Shtako"
In my opinion this game is no different than The new SimCity..

As in it didn't nessicarily HAVE to be online only (especially SimCity) & At this point I'd be happy with an offline Defiance PVP Arena where you play against BoTS in a tiny controlled area. Anything would be better than not being able to play at all.

p.s ps3 the better console yet to play this game lolll and im on it !!! and gonna chek the voice chat if its real... thats the second time it supposed to be ok ffrom the launch day <---------

I believe hes talking about the Xbox live Gold Membership, which is about $68 (after taxes). Anyways, Problemz Recks, having a gold membership DOES NOT mean we deserve better treatment than other platform gamers, it just means that we pay the $60 for our online services.

Who pays full price for xbox live?? I don't think I've ever paid more then $35 for a year and have found it for as low as $25...

I hate to rain on the parade of stupid bickering here, but can these server updates be locked for all except developers? Nothing worse than checking for an update to the servers and have to sift through 87 pages of children chirping back and forth.

Well that isn't happening so buckle in for the ride. Also If you care for BF3, it had similar problems and it wasnt even a big game like this. So did Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Yes they both have single/offline play, but Im just trying to say this is not an adnormal thing for games. This one is especially huge so lets give them some time. They are afterall our buddies.

where is voice chat? i've never found a button for it or anything to turn it on.

Agreed, most multiplayer games have problems for a while after launch, especially modern ones. And I would think that this being an MMO would only increase the complications getting it up and running right away.
