I can give an updoot on this one.

We had a fix for this that made it most of the way through testing, but caused a worse bug on some devices that we found too late to fix and test enough to be comfortable with potential knock ons, so we reverted the change to investigate more.

Tracking and investigating now.

Yea I know, it’s f**ked up

This is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

We're waiting to see how it goes.

My .02 is that mobile players are better than most people think they are, and we wanted to try giving our pools a chance to stretch their legs a little more.

If we see it negatively affecting the experience of mobile/switch players in the wild, we'll make changes, but there's a good chance it increases the quality of matches for people that in both pools.

Also worth noting that most of the people that play within the first couple hours of launch are our best players, so it's not necessarily indicative of the play experience in the days or even hours down the road. We're watching it closely though.

Hey everyone, we did it. And the sun is still here, so that's cool.

Anyway we can get a detailed reason for why the ISP’s were affected?

Does it include the packet reordering for the ISPs with packet loss issues?

It does indeed, for those with ISPs that were affected.

Alright Epic Games, I need to make one thing very clear:

DO NOT VAULT THE DRIFTBOARD

Edit: I'm very excited for this vehicle, I just don't want to see the Driftboard go away.

Driftboard is sticking around.

Correct. All stats are still being recorded and they will display properly when we've resolved the issue

We neither want to add friction for players nor do we want to benefit from accidental purchases or players regretting a purchase.

Our initial solution for this was to add a refund token system.

As an ongoing iteration, we are going to introduce an “undo” button to the store page that allows you to easily refund without using up a token within a 5 minute time window, assuming you haven’t started a match since purchase.

PlayStation 4 in Japan is a bit of special case due to X / O button meaning being swapped by default and there also being options to reverse the meanings of the buttons.

Incredible recovery and Victory! We're investigating situations where players on Driftboards can be launched like this. Thanks for the video.

We'll never know what treasures were hidden under that vent. I've gone ahead and reported this issue to our QA team, thanks for the video!
