The servers in Outriders has fallen steadily since the game’s release on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, Google Stage and Xbox Game Pass this week. At this time, it is not known when the game will improve in this regard, but what is known is the elimination of one of the major features of the game. If you’re wondering why crossover is not available, it’s because People Can Fly and Square Enix had to partially remove the option from the game due to a seemingly unforeseen issue.
At the time of publication, cross-play is available in any capacity. Console players can play with game consoles, and Steam players can play with Epic Games Store players, but that’s it. In other words, what can’t be done is cross-connect console players to PC players and vice versa
According to People Can Fly, the roof of the problem is a desynchronization problem that results in a backend mismatch, which in turn causes players to be kicked out of sessions. What causes this problem, People Can Fly does not disclose, but notes that it treats the problem “with the highest priority” and that it is working on patches to fix the surveillance. In other words, removal has nothing to do with ongoing server issues and should be addressed in the next few updates.
“I discovered a mismatch between the computer and the console code,” People Can Fly writes of the issue. “This results in a backend mismatch that causes players to be removed from a multiplayer game that includes both console and PC players. We treat this issue with the highest priority and work on patches that will synchronize all the platform code, which will solve these problems. “
