Starbreeze insists it is "working hard" to keep servers online after Payday 3 players endured a second consecutive evening of disruption.

After a three-day early access period for some players, Payday 3 released on 21st September, but players have struggled to get online at peak times due to continuing server issues that have shutdown matchmaking, making it impossible to play the always-online heist shooter.

On launch day, Starbreeze took to its social media accounts to admit that it was "currently experiencing slow matchmaking" and was "investigating and working on a solution".

P2P and player-owned dedicated servers need to come back. This "everything runs on the cloud" stuff is so bad on so many levels.

It also means players get rugpulled whenever the suits decide the game is no longer worth maintaining.

Seriously, it's a four-player game. Not some MMO clusterfuck. Not an arena shooter bragging about 128 codblops on a single map, like it's Stand On Nuketown. You need matchmaking - you want anticheat - you'll do some DRM bullshit. Other than that you should want to offload bandwidth and latency to your players. They're all on the same team!
