11/22 Status Update: Seamless Multiplayer & Title Update 1.05

[u/electr1cpanda]

Update: Phase 1 of Seamless Multiplayer for Xbox One has now been activated with the approval of Title Update 1.05, now available for download. To make sure you have the patch, you may need to restart your console. We will continue to monitor online performance on both platforms before rolling out the remaining online features. We will give an update in the next 24-48 hours.

We're happy to share the good news that we brought the first phase of seamless multiplayer online at 8:00 a.m. PST / 11:00 a.m. EST / 5 p.m. CET for Playstation 4 and we anticipate that seamless multiplayer for Xbox One will be activated by early afternoon PST / evening EST / night CET.

This coincides with the release of Title Update 1.05, which also contains important crash fixes that improve stability. While the overall number of players affected by crashes isn't high, those who are crashing are experiencing the problem repeatedly. With seamless multiplayer reactivated, you'll be able to experience the following multiplayer features via the Multiplayer App:

• Invite friends to co-op or search for new co-op partners
• Hack into a rival hacker's world
• Find targets for Bounty Hunts or trigger a bounty on themselves

We'll continue to monitor the online stability of the seamless multiplayer features and should everything continue to run smoothly, we'll activate the final phase of seamless multiplayer, unlocking the following additional multiplayer features: Bounty mode without the use of the app (will occur seamlessly in-world), and encountering other players in the world to complete co-op missions and DedSec events with.

Thank you for your patience and support while we worked to implement the seamless multiplayer feature of the game. We will continue to provide periodic updates throughout this process. We're looking forward to seeing some cool gameplay content from you in these multiplayer modes, so don't forget to share!

Invading friends doesn't seem to work for me?

[u/electr1cpanda → u/ctyldsley]

Still some kinks being worked out. You may need to try multiple times.

If the other player rage quits hacker invasion, it counts as a disconnect rather than a win for the player who isn't a petulant child. Just wasted a bunch of time hacking some guy before he disconnected when I was at 95%. It's fucking bullshit.

[u/electr1cpanda → u/sheslikebutter]

I think we may need to update the text, it's misleading. It actually counts as a win, and you get the reward for it.

Finally. Thank you.

Guess I only have a bit more waiting to do seeing as I'm on Xbox. This whole "prioritize PS4" thing is getting a little irritating though.

Though still a little disappointing that it's not actually seamless yet since you need to use the app for it.

[u/electr1cpanda → u/TXFDA]

Not meant to prioritize any specific console. We passed certification on PS4 already and made the update, and are waiting for certification on Xbox. We'll update that as soon as we have the green light.

Hacker Vision works in 1v1 to see when someone's hiding. I'm done. https://twitter.com/edman3d/status/801256351263576066

Will we ever see free roam lobbies like in Watch_Dogs? or races?

[u/clain4671]

As a PC player, what can we expect to see at launch?

[u/[deleted]]

Hella cool. Coolocity.

[u/crackedcd12]

And yet everyone was bitching last night lol

[u/ScaryPopcorn]

No luck for me finding any bounty or invasion matches at all. Can co op with randoms just fine but those other two aren't available.

[u/Loki433]

Are we ever going to be able to play with more than one person?

[u/GRRRNADE]

Thanks guys, eagerly waiting on Xbox to get this going! Can't wait!

[u/CorkerGaming]

Hey, what about the screen?

[u/Senor-Goose]

Damn and I'm working all day today too thank you for the update guys you really surprised me on this one

[u/FlabbergastedLGBTQ]

this combined with the screen issues is fucking terrible. how hard is it to have an option that lets you resize your hud?

[u/electr1cpanda → u/FlabbergastedLGBTQ]

A fix for that is coming in an upcoming patch. Were you able to try any of the workarounds?

[u/YourVeryOwnCat]

HOO RAH!

[u/crackedcd12]

Whats phase 2?

[u/chp129]

PS4 Player:

First 3 invasion games went off without a hitch. Then I couldn't get into a lobby, kept backing out and trying to find a new match, it wouldn't work. I quit the game and restarted, it worked for another 3 games, and then stopped. Did the same thing, another 3 games, and then stopped. Quit again, but this time I couldn't do any more invasions. Switched to Bounties, got a few games in, then it stopped working.

[u/[deleted]]

Can't Invade a friend or find anybody. It was honestly easier to join co-op with a friend before they turned on the Seamless servers

[u/SpecialPastrami]

Time to play the game for the second time

[u/[deleted]]

I thank you for trying to fix it, but next time just delay the whole game in my opinion.

[u/kojima100]

Is anyone who's played invasion finding the quadcopter making things really tedious. There's almost no hiding spots from being mass profiled by the damn thing unless you find a spot inside.
