Evolution Studios have informed the DriveClub community that they're "rolling out a new game update alongside server upgrades that will help to improve server performance, clubs and multiplayer functionality".
This new patch, along with some maintenance tasks, should be enough to ensure a smooth online and social experience after a failed launch and persisting issues despite a previous patch.
The 1.04 update is now available to download in some regions (looks like American users have to wait a bit longer, but our Italian editor confirms it's available in Europe).
These are the patch notes you get when you install the update on your PS4:
- Implements several game-side Multiplayer improvements to reduce server load.
- Fixes scheduled events from occasionally disappearing from the Event Browser in Multiplayer.
- Fixes incorrect target times / scores from appearing in Time Trial and Drift Events.
It's still not clear whether this update will be enough to eradicate the annoying connection and performance issues DriveClub players are dealing with since last week's launch. If they are, PS Plus version's launch should be next.
