They've put up a long post cataloguing the issues, why they've happened and what they're doing to fix them on the Facebook. Seems like they were basically hit by way more traffic than they were expecting - even though they thought they were being cautious with the numbers to begin with but didn't see the crossover potential this had - and it's done some damage to their servers. They've got outside help and are working to fix things, so hopefully should be up and running soon. Might take a few days, but it'll be worth it in the end.

I downloaded a voice modulator and played as Chipmunk Jason. I don't remember having that much genuine fun in a game in a long time, and I couldn't even hear my own voice.

I've been watching Twitch streams, and while it looks like a ton of fun, it also seems like it would get repetitive very quickly.

Got one game that was just a tad too easy.
4 of us spawned next to each other. All the car stuff was right there too... Oh and there's the car.
4 of us got away in about 3 mins.

One of my favorite streamers plays it and loves it, but it's not my cup of tea - not even to watch. It's just really boring to me. Still, a lot of people love it. I hope it sticks around for more than a month.

Ok this is fun as hell. When I can get in with my friends. And when the server allows me to update my characters. Still though I had so much fun during my first 3-4 matches. First time I played I spawned as Jason and ended up taking the whole group down. Not bad for the first time playing and having to figure out the controls.

You think Friday The 13th is bad, you should play that game "Real Life." I swear I keep getting the same missions every week and I suspect my character is level capped...

This looks fun but with all the server issues I keep hearing about I find it hard to spring 40 bucks for it yet.

So far, the worst thing I've had happen is.... played a game with a twitch streamer and now I'm getting tons of randos trying to invite me to tons of games.
Even when I'm just trying to watch Hulu or Netflix or such.

I ended up not getting the refund, and played it once it was working last night. It's playable now, but the bugs are interesting. I was carried around by Jason until he dropped me. This happened to another player too. Jason threw me into a window and then walked off. It looked like I died, but I didn't. I was able to get away and somehow survive.
Twice last night, I tried filling up the car and boat with gas. I got to the end and it made me do it all over again. Of course I got caught by Jason.

Randomly came across a stream of the game being played on YouTube last night. Looks like a lot of fun.
I may have to get it when the simple player mode comes out.

I wonder how many people haven't bothered buying this because they released it without single's mode?
If single player mode is been released quite soon anyway, surely they could have just delayed the release for a couple of months?

Why's gaming gotta be a social affair these days?

So I played a round of the game as a counselor, and got the battery and gasoline in a car. Two other counselors run up, one attacks me with a machete while the other one gets in the car, and right as Jason shows up, the other hops in the car and they both drive away and leave me to die.
The next round, I got the battery and gasoline in a car AGAIN, and one of those two jackasses barricades me in a closet long enough for the other one to get to the car and they both drive away. But when I happened to mutter "f***ing assholes..." over my mic, they turned around and ran me over. Then they backed over me for good measure.
At least that second time, I came back as Tommy Jarvis and managed to escape.

Found a good group of people to play with. Had a couple annoying kids you'll find online being douches. Our group made it our priority to harass the hell out of them until they left and then began to play how you're supposed to play. I've had a load of fun so far. That is when I can get in and play lol.

Had to block two or three random people on XBox Live. Gamertag got out there through that streamer I played with and was getting some kids constantly messaging me asking me to game share with them.
Wasn't the only one though, they usually had like 40 people they sent the message to.

There's a patch due out for Steam today to improve optimisation and matchmaking; in fact they tried putting it out a little while ago but brought it back off when it was causing problems with the perk system.
PS4 is due to get it tomorrow, Xbox One maybe tomorrow...Microsoft dragging their feet with over-officious regulation on that console, as usual.
I backed this but had firstly little time and then unlucky with connection issues, so I only got in 3 games completed. By Friday I should finally have time put aside, so if the patch lands by then, I can start putting some serious hours on the clock with this one! I've seen so many entertaining games on YouTube and Twitch for this.
The launch has been real rough, but I think this is one that's going to have a real strong and loyal core to it. It's that rare game where it's actually fun to watch people playing it as much as play it yourself, which is perfect for places like Twitch.

As a long time Friday the 13th fan I've had more fun playing this as I have any game in recent memory. I think they got the atmosphere of the movies almost perfect. Have played a few games both as Jason and as a counselor. I find it fun just watching people after getting killed. The launch has been real rough, but I think this is one that's going to have a real strong and loyal core to it. It's that rare game where it's actually fun to watch people playing it as much as play it yourself, which is perfect for places like Twitch. I give credit to the F13 developers. They have been in pretty constant communication since the release. Going to be an awesome game once they patch everything.
