Only a couple days forward of launch and Lego 2K Drive gamers are studying that a sudden Web disconnection can wipe hours of progress.
Though it’s technically not out till this Friday, Might 19, anybody who purchased Lego 2K Drive’s Superior or Superior Rivals Version has already begun taking part in it through early entry.
Sadly for 2K, phrase of mouth is alerting potential gamers to a reasonably nasty oversight; one which serves as one other reminder why at all times on-line video games are a horrible thought.
Apparently, do you have to ever disconnect from the web whereas taking part in the sport, deliberately or in any other case, you danger dropping any and all save information.
Video games journalist Chris Scullion, in a sequence of now deleted tweets, says he misplaced roughly 10 hours’ price of progress after placing his PlayStation 5 in relaxation mode.
Whereas most on-line video games warn you for those who’ve been disconnected from their servers, Lego 2K Drive apparently doesn’t try this. So, after racking up 10 hours of playtime over the course of a number of periods (with him placing the console on relaxation mode each time in-between), Scullion determined to try to spend among the in-game foreign money he accrued.
‘I stop again to the primary menu for the primary time since beginning and on the backside it stated '2K Offline', and the store was greyed out,’ he writes.
Realising it was as a result of he resumed from relaxation mode, Scullion reconnected to the servers, however the final time the sport had saved was when he first put the console on relaxation mode… after simply two races.
‘With none warning, or any immediate, my recreation progress rolled again from 65% to 1%,’ he continues. ‘What's extra, there is not any possible way round this, as a result of you must connect with the server to make use of the store, or the season go stuff, that means for those who've been taking part in offline with out realising there'll come a degree the place you mainly should roll again your save.’
Scullion’s not the one one to have been affected. At the least two others have shared comparable tales over on the Lego 2K Drive subreddit.
‘I used to be taking part in for about three hours, stop again to the menu, and noticed I wasn’t linked to the web in recreation (my system was linked, simply not the sport),’ writes Jomahawk2694.
‘Once I instructed it to reconnect, all my progress was gone, and I used to be again to stage 1 with lower than 250 in-game dollars as an alternative of the 4K I had earned.’
One other person, ja682, can solely bemoan that the identical factor occurred to them, with no actual resolution different than simply beginning over.
Even when this has solely impacted a small variety of gamers it’s nonetheless an issue 2K wants to deal with. Particularly since it will possibly probably have an effect on anybody.
2K has not issued any type of touch upon the matter so it stays to be seen if that is one thing the writer will alert gamers off forward of Lego 2K Drive’s launch.
Lego 2K Drive launches for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Change, Xbox Collection X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on Friday, Might 19.
