Bandai Namco has issued an replace this morning, addressing matchmaking errors and crashes that popped up on launch evening for Tekken 8.

The most recent entry within the Tekken sequence went stay final evening, and I hopped on for just a few rounds with associates myself—stated buddies had been taking part in on PC, and I used to be on PlayStation 5. It was fairly shocking once we repeatedly bumped into points with crashing whereas attempting to create and run a web based foyer match. Whether or not PC-to-PC, or on crossplay, each platforms stored seeing crashes.

It doesn’t seem like we had been alone on this, both. Gamers had been posting about it on numerous social boards, websites had been beginning to write about it, and Katsuhiro Harada himself made a press release. Per the Tekken official account, it was attributable to “a excessive focus of customers connecting to matching and competitors servers.” Which reads to me as, dang, Tekken 8 may need been a bit extra standard at launch than they anticipated. Anecdotally, I noticed it hovering within the prime sellers of Steam final evening, in order that’s one thing.

An replace is stay for Tekken 8 matchmaking

Now, this morning, the Tekken crew says a repair is stay, and on-line experiences “ought to now be a lot smoother.”

“Errors and crashes that occurred throughout on-line matching and matches have been resolved by server modifications and enhancements,” stated Harada in a put up this morning. “Thanks on your cooperation in reporting!”

That’s excellent news for Tekken followers, together with myself. As a result of actually, when the sport was stay and dealing, I used to be having a blast with Tekken 8. I do know we’re in an upswing period for combating video games proper now, however Tekken was the sequence that weathered the storm of harsher years for brawlers; Tekken 7 was, not less than for me, at all times a respite throughout leaner years for combating video games.

So legitimately, I’m hoping this repair bandages all the issues, as a result of I’m fairly desperate to get again to engaged on my Jun Kazama. Right here’s hoping the servers are actually steady sufficient to assist some Good Ass Tekken.
