World War Z launched yesterday, but its first day on the market didn't exactly go smoothly. Players have reported numerous issues such as multiple failed attempts to connect to the game's servers and problems during gameplay that halts progression.
The biggest issue at launch appears to be a lack of servers for players to join, meaning that the game is only playable in an offline state. For an online-focused co-operative title, this is quite clearly a major issue. To developer Saber Interactive's credit though, it looks like the team is trying its best to get more servers up and running to alleviate the problem.
What may take a little more time though are the bugs and glitches that have been brought to light. Personally speaking, we haven't been able to finish the game's first chapter yet because the game freezes and doesn't conclude the level correctly. Other players have reported jittery movement, a "Loading Game Logic" message that crashes the game, and being unable to play with friends in different regions.
Are you playing World War Z? Have you encountered any of these problems? Kill the horde in the comments below.

& some ya'll support google stadia? lmao
Honestly.....is anyone surprised by this trash?
Kinda reminds me of when DayZ was up on Steam.
Sure it was through Steam's Early Access program, but the game definitely had a few issues that made the game, well as they say, not a joy to play.
@youreyesonly00 Isn’t this more a problem with SaaS rather than streaming? I mean, Google have some fairly decent servers compared to Saber. To be honest, this isn’t a surprise since it was always going to be another Overkill’s Walking Dead.
Just as well they didn't do multiplayer for Days Gone isn't it?
gaming & anything as service is a hell no for me. PS3 network downtime comes to mind, not owning your products, & no middle man for said products is an huge turnoff..@nessisonett
Best way to kick off a launch.
I knew this game was going be trash seeing how they tried to release it near days gone to try gain buzz from it.
Played it in the morning, no issues. Got off work and ran into every problem. Fun game when it worked
Looks like sony made a good call not to have mutiplayer in days gone
Well there's a surprise.
I'm content to just read the book.
It happens, I’m sure they’ll get on top of it quickly.
Apart from the issues its actually a very good game so dont be put off by this
Been playing the game since saturday as I got a copy in the post early. Game worked fine and completed all the chapters. There was one level in chapter two that had to be restarted but that was it. Soince official launch the servers went down but seem to be working ok now. Impressed with the game the hordes have been put together well and the fighting is intense. With a real need to work together as a team. Good leveling up system for weapons and character classes with a lot of reply value. Reasonable price as well.
So where are the reviews for this game? Doesn't look good when there are no journo reviews to be seen and the game has been out for a day already.
Its funny for other games people are judging them because the embargo drops a day before release but this game no one cares at all, reviews no where to be seen lol
Only see one journo review up on metacritic and they gave it a 4/10, seems about right if you can't even finish the first chapter thanks to bugs.
Server based games just need to die already.
@Deadlyblack im sorry to say nope this never happen on launch but there was bugs in the game that people has been stuck when zombie or hunker whatever that jump monster jump at u grab u but game crash one time do to mulitplayer but co op works smooth and fine but if its ps4 ver then hey ps4 trash with there server. Xbox ver better with there server so dont get that much report because coop works 100% here and there see bug with zombie does glitch only rarely u see that and server works fine on my end and no problem with server at all in launch. SO ya not like Dayz so sorry.
@hotukdeals ya that happen to me with finding the DR green he started with glitch that he doesnt follow u that was only part of the game and yes ones u restart it works fine and another other then server well it works 100% for me i complete all story with friends of mine who know what they are doing.
@Nyne11Tyme u call this game trash sorry to say this game way better then any trash game u play. What it show on server there was never server issue but people internet that slow with the server. They need update there internet get good play because i seen people have bad internet that glitch places and still play or get kicked do to internet issue. Server cut them out do to slow internet.
About this game on server well it works 100% good for me and runs really good then any other game i seen and there this part of the game really good u have so many zombies and alot more then any other game u can ever see and this game way better then any zombie game i ever played. Number 1 zombies are faster like left for dead and like left for dead but better. Number 2 u have so many zombies that will come running at u and talking about that i cant even count how many u going be dealing with. Stealth is key before u get to ur mission that u need to use loud weapon. Number 3 this game beats any game that came out dealing with many zombies in this game. Call of crap and Dayz and few other games i can name that beats any game dealing with zombies. This game is best world war z and i hope make more story and more multiplayer with u being zombie also and also make map that u can even snipe or make map u can play story like one on one with human and zombie with sarwms of zombies in it. Now that be cool. Plus u need more then 3 of S class zombies in the game because its not that hard kill them and get little more challenging with more S class zombies. Other then that server are 100% working and gameplay really good and i can play this game none stop if u put more in this game.
@Danken55. Lol wut?. Yea Gow and Horizon and Spidey all trash. So is Astrobot and all the other VR games ive been playing. Lets try typing something literate and coherent. What are you on the dev team or something? Lol. Relax. This had garbage written all over it and here we are.
@Danken55 Hmm, I must be thinking of a different game.
@Danken55 all i asked was if anyone was surprised the way this title launched. Most all licensed games are bad (MOST not all) and i dont for one second believe that this game runs poorly because everyones internet is trash.
Everyone calling this game trash its actually pretty fun to play I've really enjoyed it so far, only problems I've had were on 1stvday been fine since
@Nyne11Tyme the way he uses his Xbox version runs great says it all for me lol
@Nyne11Tyme Clearly English isn’t his first language so calm down!
Is this online only or ar you screwed if the online service doesnt work?
@Owenstoodstill says the person who put an exclamation point at the end of their sentence.
I just bought this PS4 for this game and I can't play online. Am I doing something wrong? Full disclosure, I haven't played games in about 5 years and I feel like I may be doing something wrong.
@Nyne11Tyme I’m confused. Are you really trying to defend being an arsehole to someone for no justifiable reason?
