    Coop still works strange for me (PS4 original). 1st, I rarely find players if I start any purple mission on the map - a mission starts, it notifies me 'searching for the player', but this notification disappears soon without really finding anyone. And 2nd, I can find players from the multiplayer app, I usually get into the game where someone plays some mission already and it's ok, but I often get disconnected from the 2nd player if some of us starts any next purple mission. Sometimes it works fine saying something like 'the mission is loading' and then we play it together, but often it doesn't say anything and just goes to the usual loading screen with those animated pictures, and after that I'm alone, and the game searches for a new player, once again failing to find anyone. Maybe we need to start the mission together somehow, maybe we're not close enough to each other when one of us starts a mission, or is it just still half broken (sadly, yes, I assume looking at all the multiplayer troubles people having on reddit)?

    Multiplayer

    After getting the update, I'm still not able to find bounty or get any kind of multiplayer experience. Only have access to the co op. Is anyone else having the issue with hacking or finding a bounty? It continuously goes through the 3 step cycle of finding opponent, searching near by regions, and searching all regions. All to end up with nothing.

    Also, just some words of wisdom to all this non sense... BETA would assist in fixing these issues. Just like every other game does before they launch now days. Lets notice how many games now days actually work when released. There was more success on the original xbox.

    Anyone! Please comment if you are having issues with the multiply statement listed above!

    Xbox one
    My friend and I have done a hard reset of the Xbox and even reset our routers
    Both of our NAT types are open
    all connection tests say all good
    I can't connect with my friend for co-op. When I try to join my friend through the in game phone app it says "Teaming up with my friends gamer tag" then
    "my friends gamer tag is not available"
    Or when I accept his invite it says" Session found. joining" then " unable to connect"
    It worked fine before the last update. Now none of the mp features work
    PLEASE HELP!

    Edit added more info
    It also says I need to be connected to Xbox live sometimes even though I am connected and talking to my friend in Xbox party chat.

    Ubisoft i have a question. WHY HAVE YOU MADE THIS GAME? Hacking quitter and more

    i had luck and have the chance to hack 5 guys.....1. 90% he did't find me....oh ...Session ends , he have left the game, ok.next.2. 96% the same. Only Number 5 stays in and takes it like a man. I get no points for the *****es that locks out? Didn' t you from Ubisoft remember Watchdogs 1.You make the same mistake and so many serious players stops to play the game. Then you react and give the full points to the hackers and quitters pay points. That was fair. But why do you now give cheatern that quits in session an advantage? So multplayer still not works, cheater get advantages? The first sellings are not so high....do you want to ruin the brand?

    Problems in Multiplayer Mode

    We're happy to announce that the second phase of seamless multiplayer was brought online at 8:30 a.m. PST / 11:30 a.m. EST / 5:30 p.m. CET for both Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

    You'll now be able to access the following additional multiplayer features:

    - Bounty Hunts can happen seamlessly without the Multiplayer App
    - Seamless Hacking Invasions
    - Seamless DedSec Events w/ other players
    - Seamless co-op mission invitations

    Though seamless online activities are working well, we are continuing to work on making searching for activities through the multiplayer app more reliable, and will continue to monitor online performance.

    Thank you for your patience and support while we worked to activate the seamless multiplayer feature of the game. We hope you continue to enjoy exploring and hacking the open-world of the San Francisco Bay Area.

    Please don't forget to share your feedback about the game and online play on the subreddit or here on the official forums. We look forward to hearing from you.

    ---------

    11/22 STATUS UPDATE

    Update: Phase 1 of Seamless Multiplayer for Xbox One has now been activated with the approval of Title Update 1.05, now available for download. To make sure you have the patch, you may need to restart your console. We will continue to monitor online performance on both platforms before rolling out the remaining online features. We will give an update in the next 24-48 hours.

    We're happy to share the good news that we brought the first phase of seamless multiplayer online at 8:00 a.m. PST / 11:00 a.m. EST / 5 p.m. CET for Playstation 4 and we anticipate that seamless multiplayer for Xbox One will be activated by early afternoon PST / evening EST / night CET.

    This coincides with the release of Title Update 1.05, which also contains important crash fixes that improve stability. While the overall number of players affected by crashes isn't high, those who are crashing are experiencing the problem repeatedly.

    With seamless multiplayer reactivated, you'll be able to experience the following multiplayer features via the Multiplayer App:

    - Invite friends to co-op or search for new co-op partners
    - Hack into a rival hacker's world
    - Find targets for Bounty Hunts or trigger a bounty on themselves

    We'll continue to monitor the online stability of the seamless multiplayer features and should everything continue to run smoothly, we'll activate the final phase of seamless multiplayer, unlocking the following additional multiplayer features: Bounty mode without the use of the app (will occur seamlessly in-world), and encountering other players in the world to complete co-op missions and DedSec events with.

    Thank you for your patience and support while we worked to implement the seamless multiplayer feature of the game. We will continue to provide periodic updates throughout this process. We're looking forward to seeing some cool gameplay content from you in these multiplayer modes, so don't forget to share!

    11/21 STATUS UPDATE

    We were not able to turn the seamless online mode on this weekend, but we are making progress and tomorrow we will have more information to share regarding the solution.

    ---------

    11/17 STATUS UPDATE

    We have an update regarding the status of the seamless multiplayer.

    As you know, we’ve been prioritizing finding a solution to the online connection frame rate issue, so we can activate the seamless multiplayer feature in the game. We’re currently conducting extensive internal testing of a solution to ensure it causes no regression to the core single player experience, as well as smoothly integrates into the seamless multiplayer.

    If the solution works as intended, we would begin deploying the fix in a patch and turn on seamless multiplayer as soon as this weekend. This is the scenario that we are all hoping for. But if during these tests we see that the game's stability with seamless multiplayer still needs work, seamless online will remain deactivated and we will continue to investigate and test solutions.

    We sincerely appreciate your support and patience during this process. Meanwhile, you still have full access to the open world, campaign, side activities and the opportunity to play Co-op missions or free roam with your friends.

    To follow updates on Watch Dogs 2 and follow the status of the seamless multiplayer, please feel free to visit our Watch Dogs 2 official site. If you experience any other issues, please report them in the bug report section of the forums.

    We’ve been loving all of the videos and screenshots you’ve been sharing so far and are glad you’ve been having a good time with the game. Keep playing, keep sharing, have fun, and hack everything!

    ORIGINAL POST

    Watch Dogs 2 is launching worldwide today and we are so excited for you to play the game.

    With this exciting launch period, we wanted to take some time and explain a situation we’re currently facing with the game that will affect your online gameplay experience. During the pre-launch phase of Watch Dogs 2, we were disappointed to discover an issue tied to the seamless multiplayer feature that caused the game to lag and crash periodically.

    In order to eliminate this issue at launch, we have decided to wait to launch the seamless multiplayer feature until this issue can be fixed, and to make sure it doesn’t impact the core gameplay experience. Through our testing, we’ve found that players encountering seamless online are also affected by this lag issue, hence our need to temporarily shut down seamless multiplayer for all. The Watch Dogs 2 development team’s priority is working on fixing this issue.

    To be clear, you can play the full single-player campaign normally. Additionally, co-op is still fully functional by inviting friends through the game menu. However, the Bounty-Hunter mode and other activities that would occur with other outside players who enter your game will be unavailable until the issue is resolved. We truly appreciate your patience during this time.

    To follow updates on Watch Dogs 2 and follow the status of the seamless multiplayer, please feel free to check the Watch Dogs 2 website. If you experience any other issues, please report them here on our official forums.

    The Watch Dogs 2 development team will continue to work hard to improve the game and are there to hear your feedback. Thank you for playing!


    Dear, Good afternoon!

    I'm still having a lot of problems trying to play the game's multiplayer mode. Especially when hunting another player in the game. The system takes a long time to find another player regardless of the time I try. And when I can find a player the same disconnects from the session to avoid being killed. How should I proceed?

    Note:
    I live and play in Brazil.

    Hello and welcome to the Forums,

    We’re currently working on a fix for matchmaking issues with the Multiplayer App. If you run into trouble using the app, for now try exploring the world to find those activities seamlessly.

    Thanks!
