A Message From The Division 2 Team

[RAGE_THERAPY]

Looks like they are dealing with a major error which has impacted the base foundation system which supports the overall game. More to come tomorrow, but I appreciate the transparency as painful as it must be to share.

LoL. I'm sorry, but this is pretty funny.

"In the process of trying to fix the problem with updating the game, we broke the system we use for updating the game. So now we have to fix the system that updates the game so we can fix the update for the game."

[look at the clown]

yo dawn i heard you like fixing updates so we broke the update in an update so you could fix while you fix

or something like that

Dear Agents,

Last week, we shared news that the season would be delayed due to a localization issue. This past Saturday, in the process of creating the update which would resolve the issue, we encountered an error that brought down the build generation system for The Division 2. As a result, we cannot update the game until this system has been rebuilt.
In the past, when a Season was delayed, we extended the previous Season’s activities. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the current situation, as we are unable to make server or client side updates until the build generation system is restored.

We are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. We have made good progress over the last 96 hours and have been able to restore critical aspects of the system and will share the timeline for resolution when available.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience and will share our in-game compensation plan details soon.

Our next update will be provided tomorrow.

This is one of the problems with the concept of "game as a live service", I think. A flow of new content is not only promised but necessary so dev-teams find themselves adding new content, new features, new QOL options, for years but the source-code of the base game, from where everything else is built upon, remains the same and eventually gets outdated.

With a game, just a game, which is complete before being shipped to be sold that is not as likely to happen. Why? Because everything the game has has being already built so the chances for incompatibility issues are reduced to a minimum.

Games as a live service also demand several running servers (depending on the title's success, of course) which must be running permanently and be available for different client-side connections and transactions. It is no surprise that conflicts happen and pile onto each other. Updating game-content is not enough since the game being "enlarged" is running on the same source-code it was running on the release date.

This model is not healthy nor sustainable neither for devs and gamers but it seems to be extremely lucrative for the ones in the high levels of corpos.

Division 2 Update Can’t Drop Because Devs Broke the Game

The original dev (Massive Entertainment) already abandoned the game since year 2.
They give the project to smaller studio (Ubisoft Bucharest) thats not even familiar with the game engine, so they learning and updating at same time.

not surprised they breaks tons of stuffs in-game. even the battlepass skin is all glossy

Ubi Bucharest? Eh..no wonder why the game crashing like this for over a year then. Switched to internal team to cut down "costs". S1-4, played like 2k hours without a single crash. S4+, crash after crash after crash.
