Questions
1. Can you get into Online Mode in MGSV The Phantom Pain? Yes, but currently no (maintenance)
2. Which platform are you on? PC
3 What error are you getting (if any)? Disconnected/cannot connect to server/maintenance
4. What region are you playing in? Southeast Asia
5. If you can connect, does Online Mode make the iDroid menu slow? Yes, menu slow in online mode

I managed to get online for like 7 hours yesterday after the maintenance. But on the first day, staying online is pretty hard as the server disconnects me once in a while.

 

[Qblivion]

I'm on ps4 and I can occasionally get online but it usually boots me after 15 minutes or so. but today for the first time I was able to stay connected for at least an hour

 

[duckroll]

Past two days I've been able to get online all the time on PC. But I disconnect manually pretty often because it causes all sorts of loading slowdowns and iDroid annoyances, presumably because each time it fails to communicate with the server it gets stuck in a loop.

 

[Winter John]

Actually got the daily bonus for logging on yesterday. Then it crashed 10 minutes later and stayed offline. Thank God the online thing just seems to be a filthy pay to win pile of nonsense that I'll never bother with

 

[Portugeezer]

1. No.
2. PS4
3 10012 I think.
4. EU

 

[LiquidSolid]

1. Can you get into Online Mode in MGSV The Phantom Pain?

Yes, though not consistently.

2. Which platform are you on? (PS4, XONE,PC)

PS4

3 What error are you getting (if any)?

Just connection errors which log me off.

4. What region are you playing in?

NZ

5. If you can connect, does Online Mode make the iDroid menu slow?

Yes, often laughably slow and at the worst possible time (it'll just lock up when trying to use it mid-mission).

My guess is this is another DriveClub style situation, where they pull in a ton of data from each player (hence the slowdown in the iDroid while online) and had poor infrastructure, so their servers crumble underneath the strain.

 

[NeonDelta]

Online worked properly this morning but the idroid was so slow I disconnected

 

[Pie and Beans]

Connecting iDroid stuff to the server-calls is one of the most laughably inept things I've seen in something wanting to be an "always online" game. Amazing when so many in-mission drops and tactics require its use, doesn't pause, and so if you get in a server-call loop you're fucked.

Maybe not as worse as DRIVECLUB as that was integral to the core game, but its ensured MGSV doesn't have an online component for me. Can't help but think if the MGO servers are the same as the MGSV FOB stuff, it too is totally fucked.

At the next GDC can there be a really rather comprehensive all caps "DONT EVER LET YOUR GAME'S DESIGN SERVER CALL EVERY FUCKING SECOND, JESUS CHRIST?" seminar please.

 

[Forkball]

I don't get the point of having the iDroid tied to the online features. It slows menus to a crawl sometimes.

Honestly the online features are nonexistant before you get FOBs. They're only there to hinder you.

 

[Macrotus]

Can't help but think if the MGO servers are the same as the MGSV FOB stuff, it too is totally fucked.

I have the same feeling.

At the next GDC can there be a really rather comprehensive all caps "DONT EVER LET YOUR GAME'S DESIGN SERVER CALL EVERY FUCKING SECOND, JESUS CHRIST?" seminar please.

Wasn't this the case with the PS4 OS?
Always communicating with the PSN servers which puts loads of stress on the servers.
With MGS5, you have users from 5 platforms all accessing Konami servers...
Even if Konami managed to get more servers up and running like Sony did,
I'm not sure if that would even resolve this issue cause its not just people from PS4.
You have users from 4 other platforms and this game sold a sh*t ton.

I'm really worried for MGO.

 

[Dynasty8]

So it seems like every FOB I try to infiltrate already has another player already infiltrating. Can't connect to anyone.

[The Real Napsta]

How do you even attempt to connect. I can't find the option.

 

[darthbob]

How do you even attempt to connect. I can't find the option.

In the ACC, press the Pause button and select Connect Online.

Also, can anyone get the iDroid app to work? On the odd occasion I can connect I always try the app and it never works.

2. Xbox One
3. Error code 10003
4. EU/Germany

[Hasney]

So PS4 was working fairly smooth all day yesterday. Occasionally, I'd get a "network features are not available" message while already logged on and disconnecting and trying to reconnect would fail, but restarting the entire application would let me connect again.

 

[Segaswirl]

1) No, never been able to connect since getting the game on the 28th.
2) Xbox One
3) A combination of 10003, 10013 and the server being down for maintenance. (10003 as of right now).

I live in NZ too and that's pretty much my experience.

Well, the severs were also in maintenance a couple of times at 8pm which is pretty annoying.

This sums it up pretty good. A few days ago, instead of the 10003 I got "Server Maintenance", but it has since gone back to the 10003. This is really lame.

 

[solidsnakeiv]

Have we heard anything on the 10003 error for Xbox one?

 

[formasymphonic]

1. Yes and seems to work mostly without problem, though does disconnect sometimes (I didn't play on launch though)
2. PS4
3. just the usual lost connection error
4. EU
5. It slows when you try to switch to mother base stuff (I assume its connecting to the online dispatch mission data etc)

Is anyone using the companion app though? I tried it out recently and its actually really great when it works - but it took me a lot of tries to get it to work and it disconnects quite a lot.

Its really good when it works properly though. Its legitimately one of the few companion apps I would actually have open while I play a game - for those who can try it out (you may want to download the high res maps though)

 

[Colbert]

Have we heard anything on the 10003 error for Xbox one?

I contacted Konami support in Germany and the only thing came back was that they still have server issues but no suggestion for any solution. It's a shame because the game itself is so good.

Thanks, yeah this really is terrible.

 

[User 479360]

I started the game a few hours ago, and it said that the servers were down for maintenance. I had to play in offline mode - not that I really care, because I'm bad at these games and it's not as if I care to challenge others' scores.

 

[W.S.]

1) Nope can't get online
2) Xbox One
3) 10003 error
4) U.S. (East)
5) Not applicable

This has been annoying since I haven't been able to import my save from Ground Zeroes for a week or so straight. With this and the stuttering bug combined I hope Konami get both of these things get addressed.

My friend on the other side of the country can seem to connect though :s he is Xbox one too. Well, he managed to get his GZ stuff into phantom pain anyway. I haven't been able to yet.
