Rocksteady says addressing Suicide Squad server issues is its 'top priority,' but it's 'not an easy nut to crack'

In a new Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer update, Rocksteady says it's «top priority» is fixing persistent login and server problems that continue to plague the game. But it's not an easy fix, because it's not just one problem.

Suicide Squad launched two weeks ago, on February 2, but some owners are still having problems logging into the servers, or maintaining their connections. That's obviously a problem for a game built around online play. A patch went live on February 14 but it was focused primarily on bugs and balancing, not server issues.

"[We] know that some of our players are running into issues which are not addressed in this patch," Rocksteady said in that patch announcement. «These include but are not limited to matchmaking issues, login issues, performance issues & progression issues, among others. While we were not able to get those fixes implemented in this patch, know that we are aware of the frustration these may cause and are working on making further improvements in upcoming patches.»

The response to that announcement was not widely positive. Some fans said they're enjoying the game and expressed appreciation for Rocksteady's efforts, but quite a few others expressed, shall we say, different kinds of sentiments. That may have helped prompt Rocksteady to reassure everyone that it's on the case in this latest update.

«For our upcoming patches we are looking to address login issues and server issues,» game director Axel Rydby wrote. «And while we might not be able to fix all of those issues right away, I want to assure everyone: This is the top priority for us. We hear and feel your frustration and we can only agree, it’s unacceptable for the players who are affected by this. We need to do better, and we’re working hard to fix these issues.

»It is, however, not an easy nut to crack because it’s not one single issue, it’s several smaller issues that are affecting some players in different ways. We can only ask that you remain patient
