#Second extinction split screen update#
We’re looking to experiment with removing player level entirely but will update you if and when this gets rolled out to live.īelow we describe the two ways in the Frontend to matchmake with players in Second Extinction Our matchmaking takes a simple approach everyone can be matched with anyone else but it’s sorted by location and by player level. Playfab is a piece of middleware that provides us online player accounts and matchmaking. On launch day and on one other occasion Playfab did encounter some downtime and this would have blocked some of you from finding matches. We are looking into why some of you are struggling to find matches but don’t have any firm leads as of yet.
With matchmaking there are a few things to highlight. We wanted to let you know that you’ve been heard! On top of exploring potential bugs we wanted to clarify how things should work.
We have noticed a few of you raising some questions and issues around both matchmaking and forming a party in multiplayer. But we also wanted to address some of the feedback you’ve shared directly, and let you know about our plans for the coming weeks. We couldn’t be happier with the love you have shown us. What a week! Since launching Second Extinction into Early Access we’ve been overwhelmed with all the positive response and feedback to our little Dino Murder Simulator.
