Matchmaking was sluggish or not letting some ”find games at all,” but that was corrected by the studio. They’re looking into ”similar” PS3 woe.
”Unprecedented demand for Aliens vs. Predator following the release of the cross-platform demo yesterday morning brought to light matchmaking issues on the PC platform resulting in players having to wait to join games, or even not find games at all,” said Rebellion’s statement, reports VideoGamer.com.
”We’re pleased to say later in the day the issue was corrected and a small patch to the PC executable next time you launch it from Steam will have you finding and playing games using Quick Match as it was intended.”
Xbox 360 hasn’t been hit with matchmaking trouble, but they’re ”investigating reports of a similar nature on the PlayStation 3 and working flat out on a solution”.
”We’re really sorry that this issue tainted a day in which we saw many people get hands on with AvP for the first time and we’re hugely gratified by the positive feedback to the game.” Aliens vs Predator releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC February 19th.
