Twisted Metal multiplayer to go offline briefly today
Sony will take down Twisted Metal's online multiplayer servers for around 15 minutes today in order to pursue a connectivity issue.
"Sony is or will be in next hour pulling servers for 15 min to push a fix that will correctly message if the reason you can not get in a game is legit OR if the room is just full," Eat Sleep Play boss David Jaffe tweeted.
"Right now [the] bug - that this will fix - is giving out [the] same message. Once this is resolved, in the next hour, that will let Sony then see an accurate failure rate of connect.
"Without this, [it's] very hard for us to know when it's a full Room issue vs. a genuine 'can not connect' issue."
The developer added that Eat Sleep Play 'totally knows' there is a genuine connection error, but is not certain of its scope.
"Thanks for sticking it out with us - Twisted fans are not only bad ass sick f**ks, they are also - mostly!- understanding gamers who have every right to f**king hate us right now...so thank you!" he added.
Jaffe himself will be online today checking out the game's stability.
"My copy's not sent from Sony yet so I bought my own - gonna go home, play and see what network issues are as of 4:05 Pacific time," he said.
Twisted Metal is a PlayStation 3 exclusive available now in the US, with a European release set for March 7.
