no crossplay, no offline, players are dropping

[TheSpiderKing]

Sure you can add console players and have them in your friend tab. But, if you try to play with them. The game will outright tell you the game can not connect to other players via cross play. So anyone trying to play with nintendo switch, xbox 1, or ps5 users you won't beable to play with your console friends.

Still no offline in 2025 after 3 months. Which if the game servers go down. This game will be unable to be preserved by the casual gamers who don't know how to reverse engineer source code from games. So, having no local co op offline mode is gonna hurt this game in the near futher. So the devs or wb need to stop the you need wifi always to play this game bs.

DNS, wifi issues, and servers do go down. There's no reason to force a always online drm when, the game uses the tag single play aka a tag used for offline single player games.

As of now the game lost 2/3 of it's player since launch with some new players but, most people don't like the pay to play a live service model so thats gonna hurt Quidditch champions in the arse if WB Games don't listen to the player base and lost sells.

Before, you buy the game read this

Before, you buy the game be warned of the following issues.
1) The game uses Denuvo always online drm. Meaning there will never be a way to play this game offline offically.

2) If you try to patch/ edit. or moddify the game to play offline. Which the game states the game has offline solo player support. The devs will try to bann you claiming you broken the tos.

3) Any future updates that may seem worth it just won't come to Nintendo switch players. Given that version is still a alpha build.

4) If you buy the game on consoles whelp good luck ever getting updates. Since, it's been what 3 months an no real console updates.

5) Because, this game has always online drm. There is no legal way to preserve and play this game off line with split screen co-op. Which this game was heavilly based on. If you played Quidditch world cup.

6) Trying to ask for a offline patch while getting new features will more than likely get you banned of the quidditch champions discussion group on discord.

Unless your willing to edit the game code to play this game offline. There's just no reason to pay for whats essentially a esport game in 2025 when esport games are free to play. So the pay to play a esport game is really not a good look.

If you try to point out like I did to the devs how easy it would to patch this game with offline. They will flag you for harrassment or some other reason. Ignoring the clear disregard one dev has towards adding offline. I just can not in good faith recommend this game to anyone.

Major concerns

With the recent news of Warner Bros Multi-Verse being shut down. Which is the game before, Harry Potter Quidditch champions which also is a live service that also under performed. With no offline support, the forced Denuvo drm. Which if you saw my past concerns. Regarding the issues tied/ related to Denuvo which the game devs have ignored on discord.

When the issue/ topic of decompilation, and game preservation of this game is brought up. The game devs have taken down the topics on discord. Which has been a really bad echo chamber of late.

With no means or methoid to play this game offline. What reason is there to even buy this game. If there's a very good chance Warner Bros Games will shut down the servers for Harry Potter Quidditch champions.

This isn't a click bait, fer posting, or shaming anyone. But, when the game is failing because the forced live service. An any future online system patches is made and ignore the very obvious issue that needs to be addressed. At some point the devs need to stop focusing on the pvp elements and focus on removing the drm to help the fps go from 30 to 90+. While enabling offline play. Which needs to be added in asap.

The fact warner bros games is shutting down more live service games. Should raise weither this game is even sustainable given the player base hasn't grown over the last 3 months.

If we consider the cross-play features is still broken, the nintendo switch port is still running a very old build, the game punishes the customers, and has no guarantee if the game will get a offline patch. Considering the devs claim reverse engineering the game violates the tos (which isn't true. If you know the court laws 1: Sony vs kinectics aka (bleem!) and 2: Nintendo vs Game Genie.

With no official way to preserve this game. I just can't give any reason for anyone to buy this game. Since, when the servers go down. What game is there left to play? This is a serious topic that needs to be discussed and the devs need to make a game-plan to allow us the paying customers to continue enjoying this game in the future.

Crossplay works fine, unless you're on Switch which supposedly was never fixed for some (many?) players.

No, stop lying please.

Okay literally every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game you need internet for you. you need internet in general to use ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ steam. you cant even play offline games anymore on any console without internet still.

But yes there is a solo/offline mode you need the online to progress your character and save data.

and yess all games are online now unless youre playing on some old ass console. offline mode in steam doesnt work half of the time and why would you wanna be offline when your pc is already connected to the wifi that ♥♥♥♥ makes no sense.
