Friday the 13th

Most of ye on PS I take it?.

I'm looking to play on XB1... GilbertoGalway.

I spent ages buying it through G2A and Russia... I knew there were connection problems but I'm just sitting in the menu.

Have tried four longish searches now and just searching.

I didn't go through all that buying hassle to just sit in the menu.. grrrr.

As an aside, I can say, as a kid who grew up in the 90s and loved 80s horrors... I never saw one of the Friday or Halloween films.


That episode of the Simpsons with the rafting trip(Bart joins the scouts) finally makes sense now.
Where at the end they find the old camp and something ist stalking them.
I never knew it was from this but between the menu music and clips of the game it dawned on me what it was taking off.

Hey man, patches coming soon should hopefully sort out the matchmaking. Devs said it's there priority at the moment. The worst thing is waiting to get into a game and getting kicked but once you get a stable few games, it's worth the wait.

Maybe the PS is better but I didn't even find a game.

I spent 30mins searching.

Gave up and just decided to watch the film instead.
Break some first barrier.

Randomers suck. Had 2 quick games this morning were both disastrous. 1st game, I spawn outside a house, run to the front door for a guy inside to close it, lock it and say over the mic "don't come in". Jason warps beside me and insta kill. Alive for 30 seconds.

I stayed til the next game and was Jason. I warped to a hut and was looking in the window, saw a guy run into a room and hide under a bed. I broke in the door and went straight for the bed kill. " how did this mutha****er know I was there, this is bull****". I turned on my mic just to laugh at him and tell him i saw him through the window. He left the game and we all got kicked because he was host

Do all the Jasons have the warp ability as soon as they spawn? I know when I play him, I warp straight to the car and get about 2 kills straight away. Maybe he should have to wait a bit before he can use it.

I think so yeah and it has a fast regen as well. I haven't used a non running Jason yet but have to say it looks cooler and more menacing to see them walking around. I'm level 11 so nearly have part 2 Jason unlocked who looks class.

played a couple of matching making matches yesterday no one really using mics so went back to LFG and went to private matches where everyone was using mics. 
anyone else think that after the patch for Xbox that the driving mechanics has changed? I ended up flipping the car in one game coz i couldn't drive the bloody thing anymore.

That host issue is something I'm hoping they are sorting out, I don't see how hard it would be to move it on to another player if the host quits, had a run of a few games last night because I was host.

Another big one for me is being unable to go back to the dashboard without it cancelling matchmaking, bloody oversight.

Grayditch

Yeah. Also getting disconnected for inactivity while you're spectating is a bit harsh. I think you lose your points then, right?

I thought I read (don't know where) that you got awarded points either way and that not receiving them was just a glitch for now.

Grayditch

Ah right, ok.

Managed to get a few games in yesterday, thankfully xbox added groups and posts so ppl can use that to look for players...first time getting use of that feature.

It has some issues.

Basically if not much work is put in and Jason takes out most/all ppl, you're nearly better off to just let him kill you.
You're never going to get the battery, gas etc all by yourself at that point.

While playing as Jason, if you're down to one or so and they hide it can be a pain to track them down.

I spent 10mins looking for one person yesterday who camped in the barn with a trap beside them.
Took me ages to use sense in that area... most have annoyed the others waiting.

Overall though it's a decent game, if they could only sort out that 1v1 situation to improve it on both ends(realistic escape for a 1v1 and punishing campers a bit more)

Laviski

escape is easy when working as a team.....
if your a really good team you can kill jason.

why do reviews say it's repetitive every match couldn't you say the same thing about black ops multiplayer aswell ?

Update.

UPDATE JUNE 6, 2017 - PS4 Patch has arrived! Update on Xbox One

Hi everyone! We know the wait has been a bit long, and matchmaking for consoles has not been the best. We've been working day-in and day-out, but we're finally making headway and have some more solid news on what's going on.

FIRST OFF; the PS4 Patch version 1.04 is now live! This patch is primarily focused on matchmaking issue fixes as well as improving overall experience by removing some exploits. We want to reiterate VERY STRONGLY that matchmaking fixes are always an on-going process. Testing showed around a 4x-6x improvement in matchmaking speed; though we'll continue to monitor in the live environment. Nothing is certain, but we're watching!

Those of you with DLC: the Savini-Jason has gone live and you can now access him. Clothing Packs are slated to go live sometime today, maybe tomorrow. Sony Europe backers are being emailed their keys, while Sony America backers should be able to utilize their keys already delivered.

Patch Notes as follows;

Improvements
- Matchmaking Fixes. Should decrease amount of time it takes to match make.
- Added a Random option in the lobby.
- Increased effectiveness of Jason and Counselor spawn preference options. Shuffling the possible Jason list 3x as much to help randomness.
- Disabled inhale sound effect for breathing while in a hiding spot.
- Made dead body stingers less obnoxious: Ignored while being pursued by Jason; 10s cooldown; Will not fire for witnessed nearby deaths.

Fixes

- Various fixes to the different glitch / hide / exploit spots
- Fixed issue where you have infinite stamina.
- Fixed a few areas where the player couldn't reach with Jason. Also fixed a stuck spot on Packanack.
- Fixed perk roller UI sometimes getting stuck if there is an error talking to the database.
- Fixed session heartbeat requests to be more resilient to service failures.
- Fixed character hair stretching at lower frame rate.
- Fixed Jason not always aborting the knife throw when stunned.
- Fixed a case where it was possible to get stuck in a knife throw.
- Fixed some visibility issues with the door interaction icons.
- Fixed some placement issues with dropped items.
- Fixed Jason's mask floating when knocked off.
- Fixed Jason not always cancelling shift or morph if they hit a car in reverse.
- Fixed an issue with the hiding spot exit code.
- Fixed Counselors potentially getting stuck inside of a wall if hit while climbing through a window at the perfect time.
- Fixed Rotate Minimap With Player not updating when changed until a map change.
- Fixed some host specific crashes.
- Fixed people being able to share settings save games.
- Fixes for DLC

SECOND OFF; Xbox One's matchmaking upgrade is currently in-test within our team, and will be submitted to test with Microsoft tomorrow. We anticipate the patch to go live on either Thursday or Friday, however this is not set in stone. If things change, we will let you know. We will post when we intend to patch and will include XB1 specific notes as well.

THIRD OFF; Our upgrade with security features on Steam are ongoing, will have news on that soon as we are able.

We know this has been a bit of a wait, and we apologize for the issues, but these things take time and we have to constantly check how things are improving while ensuring this game continues to grow.

For those of you who've had to wait, our sincere apologies and we hope you know that our team is working as quickly as we possibly can. Hope you enjoy!

I always wonder this.

Grayditch

Hmmm. Now after a 2/3 min search it just puts me in a lobby alone.

I think the hook in a lot of online shooters is ranking up. Getting xp towards new guns, skins, gear whatever. I'll play Iron Banner on Destiny when it comes around each month for a specific reason. Once I achieve it I'm done but I enjoy the journey all the same.

Yeah but the lobby should fill up pretty quick then. Matchmaking is a million times better on the PS4 since the update yesterday. This game is getting to be great craic. Oh and the Jason kill is pretty tough to pull off so can't see too many doing it in a public match especially when nobody is bothering with comms.

Grayditch

Yeah after I posted that I noticed it was infact a good bit better.

Its a pretty fun game, just a couple of things annoy me all of which are player related.

Im not bothered if people want to solo escape, even kill for a tank of gas. Adds a certain suspense/fear that not a lot of mp games have. Play how you want but dont quit. People seem to quit as jason if they dont kill someone within 2 mins.

And jason nearly always has a buddy telling him exactly where everyone is, pointless imo, play the game. Worse yet is people who msg jason your location to get the match finished.

Unfortunately i doubt there is a way around people not helping jason but its taking a lot of the fun from the game in some matches.

When everyone plays the game how it should be played its pretty great. Probly not something i will be playing in 6 months but fun for a few weeks maybe. Will need some dlc maps/killers/counselors at some point

Private games are the only way to go on this.

Most public games I've been in have been terrible.

I have to say only once did I give away a persons position and it happened last night. Kid jumps into match and the usual squaky voice and music etc in the background. It annoyed me, he spawned beside me at the start of the match and as Jason went to chase me I just said "Oh hes to your right etc" and off jason went and killed him, but straight away came back to kill me. I just couldnt listen to the stupid noise anymore.

Yeah we ran a good few private games over the last few days that were brilliat but in saying that we had a group of 5 last night and then match made the rest and some of the rounds were brilliant. I managed to escape twice in my last game last night First time got the boat going and left then spawned as Tommy even though nobody died and just ran straight to a car, jumped in and away I went

Something like that is grand, the idea of proximity chat promotes that sort of thing. iv often baited him towards people to escape lol

What im getting at is his buddy sitting with the map open just listing off people 1 by 1 in pivate chat. Countless times yesterday iv had him morph litreally right next to me, no chance it was by luck lol.

I had much better games when the matchmaking was screwed haha at least those who put up with the wait times seemed to want to play fair.

when you at a car or a boat and there 1 too many at the party..... someone has to go down and it ain't me

Yeah that is just bad form in fairness. Why buy a game to just cheat at it and not experience it the way its meant to be played. We normally setup a group chat on the PS4 and from the chat we then go in and Prioritise game chat so if doing a private match then you would easily see who is at that type of thing telling others etc where they are.

Me & some lad got to the boat, he had the prop and I had the fuel. Some dude followed us thinking he could get an escape in but when we told him the boat only holds 2 he just said yeah thats grand you guys work away which was grand and handy.

They've fixed matchmaking which was the biggest problem for sure.

Few other fixes and improvements mentioned a few posts back. All in all it's far better than it was a few days ago
