Flood Of Trials Evolution Players Take Down Microsoft's Servers
Trials Evolution is an awesome game, and apparently I'm not the only one that feels that way. The game went live yesterday, and over 100,000 players downloaded it and began posting their scores to the leaderboards. Because of the onslaught of new users, servers went down and resulted in error messages when leaderboards were accessed.
Developer RedLynx is aware of the situation, and released a statement saying "We apologise for the inconvenience, and obviously we're working closely with Microsoft's backend team to improve the situation and prevent this sort of thing from happening again."
While you're waiting for the servers to come back online, check out this week's edition of Test Chamber if you'd like to see me fail over 150 times on a single course.
