Can anyone play AT ALL at this point?

So yesterday I was able to play for most of the day. Yes I had server issues but it eventually let me in. I was even able to play long enough to get Kate's reward. However, this morning I go to log in and I get the same message only much quicker, the game doesn't even load before telling me there's server issues. I thought, okay, I'll just spam again, and that DID work, I got into the game, but whenever I search for a lobby, it kickes me out and says there's server issues. It did this 3 times. It doesn't seem like I can play AT ALL at this point. 

Is this happening to anyone else? I play on Xbox.

    Maybe she was busy, not sure with what? Oh, maybe a survey about the summer BBQ event.

    Tried for about 30 minutes and finally got into the game. I'm scared to turn off my Xbox now.

    It's working for me now. Played about 5 or 6 games now. Wait times for a game are only a few seconds.

    i am getting delightful random bootings that probably look like rage quits from the survivor perspective.  if only...they could somehow make this more difficult to play.

    mmm.  that one is becoming a personal favorite of mine.  the random numbers make me feel like my situation is becoming increasingly complex.  it's more of a challenge to find a game than it is playing survivor...so...yeah.  almost a hotfix unto itself.

    Just thought about it, how many complaints is Playstation getting from people who got it for free. The game doesn't work. I hope that kicks them into gear

    I am able to get into the game atleast. Unfortunately even attempting to make a killer lobby throws me back out of it lol.

    @Shipthebread i wonder how many potential players this past 24hrs cost us. Hopefully a lot didn't try it yet.

    It took me half an hour to find a match. Then someone leaves, and as soon as they do, I get a "No Network Connection" message. What the hell is even happening.

    My theory is that it's all of the new users from the getting the game via PlayStation Plus and it's sort of overloading the servers. I don't know the technical side of it, but I imagine a drastic increase in the player base would cause something like this.

    How do you lose server connectivity when the game is Peer to Peer?

    I think user data is on the server, or at least some of it, and if the server doesn't connect it therefore doesn't validate your stuff? I don't know. It's stupid.

    I've had no problems getting in to play, but I'm probably not going to bother now. Every game, tunneled and camped. So many Ebony Moris.

    The Lunar event was #########, so I'm not surprised that the re-skinned Lunar event that we have now is no less #########.

    Try not wiggling. I was able to win over a Hag. She killed everyone else because they weren't doing the same. To me it seems like the Killer's requirements are often not considered. Survivors may even go out of their way to sabo the hooks. I've seen a drastic increase in the amount of Pig games likely due to this.

    Tbh I've only used up 10 ebony mori's dealing with Sabo squads. One of them messaged me threatening to have me banned for "Ruining the game" for them and their rank 20 buddy lol. I've never laughed so hard in my life XD

    Well my friends and I could play 3 games - two of them with a killer who wanted to farm (didnt complain) and one where we didnt wiggle for him to get us to the special hooks after getting our special Gens. But since then either it takes extemly long to find a game or we cant connect at All - swf or Solo doesnt matter. But seeing the other thread with people complaining about hook sabo and gen Camping im not very keen on going back. And now that dbd is free to grap for the month on psn i truly question why i bought it on playstation...
