Been getting that error several times today but with different numbers. ---

Hmm, how come my post was edited? There wasn’t anything wrong with it? ---

Your post was edited by the system to optimize the image by the looks of it 🙂 Looks like this might be a commutation issue rather than a server outage issue, @505GamesSupport might be able to shed some light on this.

Wow - PS4 sure got a lot of new players over the weekend! I’ve just increased our server resources to cope with the extra load, and we’ll keep a close eye on it over the next 24 hours ---

Got the same message again the other day. Also getting a weird message that looks like a lot of miniscule unreadable text. ---

Sorry about that. The PS4 servers had 3 very large spikes of usage in the past 3 days, each time for just 2-3 minutes. I’ve increased their capacity to account for that, but for about 99.9% of the time they seem to be running with bandwidth to spare at the moment. ---

Got it again today. ---

Does this keep happening to anyone?
