Update:

Ubisoft said that its service and online multiplayer should be back up and running now . However, there is still no word on the problems PS3 players are experiencing when trying to launch the game.

Ubisoft's new open world shooter Far Cry 4 released today, and many players are having problems connecting to servers, and even playing the game on one platform.Some users attempting to play PvP matches are having difficulties finding matches, while others are being disconnected once they actually find one. Players on PlayStation 3 seem to be having another problem entirely –– some are unable to play the game, and Ubisoft said this might have something to do with previous Far Cry 3 save data.The publisher hasn't provided any possible solutions, but posted a survey on a forum thread to try to find one. The company said it will update players with information as soon as it's available.Earlier this week, Far Cry 4 fans noticed on a Twitch stream that the game's map editor doesn't support competitive multiplayer , only its challenge mode. Ubisoft said this was a budget matter, and that it can hopefully "get it done post release."Once the servers are completely sorted out, IGN can continue with our Far Cry 4 review in progress –– so far, the single player is promising. IGN is calling the game world "one of the best-realized locations" we've ever explored in a video game.Stay tuned to IGN for the complete review.
