Critical: The Defiance Service is Not Available

[Waajon]

Everytime I start the game, it starts connecting, then I get an error: "Critical: The Defiance Service is not available". My options to press are "try again" or "quit game". Everytime I "try again" I receive the same message and options immediately. How do I combat this?

Same thing, only accept end licence agreement then it goes critical service is not available. Been about 3 days now. Ps4 in australia.
