It was quite surprising when we continuously ran into issues with crashing while trying to create and run an online lobby match. Whether PC-to-PC, or on crossplay, both platforms kept seeing crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t look like we were alone in this, either. Players were <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrueUnderDawg1\/status\/1750677997516902531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posting about it<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Tekken\/comments\/1ab5p44\/taken_8_crashing_ps5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">various social forums<\/a>, sites were starting to write about it, and Katsuhiro Harada himself <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Harada_TEKKEN\/status\/1750703115001872556\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made a statement<\/a>. Per the Tekken official account, it was due to &#8220;a high concentration of users connecting to matching and competition servers.&#8221; Which reads to me as, dang, <em>Tekken 8 <\/em>might have been a bit more popular at launch than they expected. Anecdotally, I saw it hovering in the top sellers of Steam last night, so that&#8217;s something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-an-update-is-live-for-tekken-8-matchmaking\">An update is live for <em>Tekken 8 <\/em>matchmaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this morning, the <em>Tekken<\/em> team <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TEKKEN\/status\/1750838083027603789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">says a fix is live<\/a>, and online experiences &#8220;should now be much smoother.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Errors and crashes that occurred during online matching and matches have been resolved by server modifications and enhancements,&#8221; said Harada <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Harada_TEKKEN\/status\/1750833942381625828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in a post this morning<\/a>. &#8220;Thank you for your cooperation in reporting!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ok guys!!

Because honestly, when the game was live and working, I was having a blast with <em>Tekken 8<\/em>. I know we&#8217;re in an upswing era for fighting games right now, but <em>Tekken <\/em>was the series that weathered the storm of harsher years for brawlers; <em>Tekken 7 <\/em>was, at least for me, always a respite during leaner years for fighting games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So legitimately, I&#8217;m hoping this fix bandages all the problems, because I&#8217;m quite eager to get back to working on my Jun Kazama.
