Game maker Sloclap saw one million people play their new soccer game Rematch during its first day. The company released numbers showing strong interest from players who jumped into matches right after launch. Steam records showed nearly 93,000 people playing at the same time on that platform alone.
Sloclap pushed out a quick software update called Patch 0.5 to fix several problems players found. The update repairs issues where the ball hits goal posts and causes sync problems between different players. Developers warn that ball sync troubles might still happen under other situations.
The patch also tackles stability crashes and improves network code that connects players together. Matchmaking systems received updates to reduce waiting times for finding games. These changes should make the experience smoother for people trying to join matches.
Launch day brought both good news and frustrating technical problems for Rematch players. Long waiting times and various bugs created headaches despite the large player count. Sloclap already outlined their main goals for future improvements.
Crossplay support sits at the top of their priority list after the feature missed the launch deadline. The company told players just hours before early access that crossplay would not work between different gaming systems. Sloclap apologized for the late notice about this missing feature and promised to add it soon.
