Driveclub PS Plus Edition Delayed by Server Issues

A few moments ago I got this on the PlayStation App, and it won't appear on my PS4;


It won't let me click the icon to redeem the voucher either..


Anyone else get this and know what it's about? It's also the first time I've seen the notifications from PlayStation actually be used.

I had to access it from my PS4. Opening upp the message and pressing X (I think) took me to the store where I was met with a redeem code window where the code was filled in automatically. I got the three cars plus some fame booster I think. I don't know how the fame booster works.

I know but it's just not appearing on my PS4, it's still in the announcements section on the Android app, but not on my PS4.
 
So I just pre-ordered the new Xperia Z3 on Tmobile as a promotion, I will get a free digital copy of DriveClub.

Lets see which I get first, the PS+ version or the free copy with my Xperia Z3...
 
They still haven't fixed the game for people who bought a retail copy.

Not just retail but digitally too. I can log in, but I can't get any races going. Every time I register for a race it counts down, there are others in the lobby, but I get kicked because it can't connect to them.
 
The servers are finally starting to get noticeably better. Well for me they are anyway. Everytime I start the game up I get a connection, I can get multiplayer games 90% of the time I have tried and at last got leaderboards with human ghosts working once. Still feels like it is going to be a long way off until it is fully functioning how it is suppose to though.
 
Ok guys give me the straight dope, I'm coming home from vacation tomorrow. Am I going to be able to make a club and send invites and do challenges? I'm in NA if it matters.
 
well I was close to buying this but I guess I'll just hold out for Pcars if the plus version isn't coming out anytime soon for me to try out

If you can connect at all, the first two out of three should be do-able.

There's a new update rolling out now to help.

No word on when we'll see challenges.
 
I'm honestly starting to think that the PS+ version won't ever come out. I mean, is it out of the realm of possibility for Sony to just not even acknowledge it and let it just be swept under the rug?
 
Don't worry, PS Plus Edition people. I'm sure that version will be out by Christmas.

Shit... Well wish me luck I guess!
9 days after having this game, I've been able to do exactly ZERO regarding any of the online stuff. Ok, I take that back. I was able to start creating a club (after several failed attempts) in so much as I was able to name a Club. Then I lost connection again and have been able to do nothing since. No online races, no club activity, no challenges that are supposed to pop up during the single player game. It's beyond ridiculous.

Your mileage may vary, of course. I'm just saying, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I mean it could happen but I think Sony will release it just for the sake of not lying. As for when it comes out, who knows?

yes. the backlash would be astronomical if they did that.

Maybe they're waiting for Contrast 2 to be made, so that when they cancel the PS Plus Edition, they can offer that instead!

I just thought, if they're having this many problems with servers with people who have already bought a copy, why on earf would they put out a free version and potentially dig themselves in an even deeper hole of server trouble?

Won't happen, but the fact that Evo are not even mentioning the PS+ edition whatsoever in their updates has me worried it will be some time off.

I'm sure it will eventually release once they are confident their servers are at an acceptable level to handle the additional load the free edition will generate

Well don't keep us in suspense how fun is it to navigate the menus?

Aren't you a funny guy....

I have the game too but I have not played since I got tired of waiting for those damn servers.

There are cars locked out unless you join a rank up with a club.... but I cant even go online once. The game keeps remind you at every opportunity it has to go online but is just damn annoying now since you cant.

I have a lot of club invites but zero ways of accepting any of them. :(
 
Yeah I stopped playing too. I wanted to play the game as it was meant to be played - with the online integration, challenges, etc. I can't believe I'm still waiting for that to happen.
 
This has cost them a sale, Bayonetta 2 is out soon and then Sunset Overdrive, I won't have time for this then and I'm not buying something that is so broken.
 
I'm.finding UK works reasonably well in the mornings. But when the US comes on the servers are fucked.

I think it's region and time based. Tried during the day and nothing yesterday, but have had good luck three nights in a row from about 8 to 1am.

Last night challenges were popping up in tour races, hadn't seen that yet. Cool feature, random online challenges, like 4 or 5 per race.

US Central region by the way.
 
So Sony basically robbed PS+ users one game this month...i wouldn't be surprised if that was to happen again in the future.

Seriously? The damn online is broken. Evo is trying to fix it. Opening the flood gates with an onslaught of users from the ps+ version wont help anything at all. I want the ps+ version too, but ffs, Im willing to wait while things get fixed.
