A waves of complaints are flooding user boards as players struggle to begin races in a popular game. Since early this morning, reports surfaced that players across the globe—from Japan to the West Coast—are unable to matchmake and enjoy gameplay.
Game On Hold
Comments indicate a widespread frustration among gamers due to connectivity issues. One player lamented, "Same, was looking forward to vintage racer :("
The leaderboard remains empty, and it appears no one can access games. In Japan, a worried gamer stated, "Nobody can start a match and the leaderboard is still empty…" Despite multiple attempts, players have reported that the game often gets stuck on the opponent search page.
Community Reactions
Many players echoed similar sentiments, with one player sharing:
"Sucks that the West Coast is asleep and can’t give it an update on what’s happening."
Another saw some humor amid frustrations, noting, "It’s hard to complete challenges if can’t access the games. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the game 3 times in the last 20 minutes."
Interestingly, some players seem to brush off the technical difficulties, stating, "You don’t need to—it’s not working for anybody." This perspective suggests the fault lies with the game developers rather than the individual players.
