XDefiant’s servers filled up 35 minutes ago, and it looks like there are a lot of server outages, error codes, and general weirdness preventing players from actually diving into a match of the free-to-play first-person shooter. .
Players report being stuck in empty lobbies waiting for them to fill up on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Other players report that they can’t find a game at all, but the store seems to be working fine.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t get much better on the subreddit. The “It’s LIVE” thread has been taken over by players reporting that they were able to play a game or two as soon as the servers launched and have had no luck since. Others have reported errors with Ubisoft Connect stuck during initialization, or hit with a UNIFORM-01 error.
This is somewhat expected with online games. With an influx of players trying to log in to check out the Call of Duty competitor, it’s likely the servers were overwhelmed with traffic and things will return to normal in the next hour or two. At the time of writing, The XDefiant status page states that the servers for all platforms are online and operating normally. However, the general feedback on social media seems to suggest otherwise.
Some possible fixes
The good news is that some players are reporting some fixes. In the subreddit, players suggest that you restart Ubisoft Connect or your PC completely to bypass the launcher failing to initialize.
