It's called "live service, pay up." Your single player experience doesn't exist anymore.

People have been praising SDS for years for not tying their single player experiences into the live services portions of The Show, and it sucks to see that they are finally starting to cave a little. I know people will defend this, by saying "to actually progress your created player you still have to play RTTS", but that's not my point. This is the test run to see how far they can push before the players stop playing. I watched 2k do this a few years ago, and it always starts out like an innocent concept then the next thing you know you have to pay stubs to get a decent player to enjoy RTTS.

The proposed temporary fix does work sometimes, but not consistently. I've compared notes with three friends and we haven't been able to determine what variables make a difference. For one thing, you may need to perform the fix in DD more often than after each time you load up the game. Unfortunately there's no way to confirm that your progress will count until after you've already put in the time to play a full game in RTTS.

^^^^This!

I have tried the work around about 15 times over the past week and it's only worked about 1/3rd of the time and that's not counting the times the server went down midgame and I lost all progress even after doing the work around.

You probably won't get your money back, and it sucks that you are an Xbox player because I would 100% suggest playing The Show 20 or even 19 in the mean time which is what I'm doing, but that probably isn't an option. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer man.

I found a work around, I just went to my PS5 dashboard, pressed the options button with The show 21 Highlighted and then select close. Then I went to my library and redownloaded the show 20 and BOOM fully functional RTTS mode and the servers don't matter, equipment works correctly, and I don't have to do anything in diamond dynasty to get XP on a RTTS player that I have no desire to play with in any other mode outside of of RTTS.

All jokes aside RTTS 21 is trash right now, and I have given up on fighting with it until the DEVs do something about the server issues and the crazy amount of bugs. I'm sorry that we are all having to deal with this BS.

@Jasnic616-_MLBTS Heck yeah, I did the same thing at 5 AM this morning before work so I'm hoping I will have it in my inventory when I get home.

Because they tried to make major changes to a simple formula during a short handed pandemic year, and they attempted to do all this while making the game accessible to a new console and adding cross platform play. This is a case of SDS biting off more then they could chew, and now all the people who paid money to play the game get to be the late stage beta testers.

I'm at work so I can't test the patch for myself, but for you guys who have been able to play since the patch was applied, what has been fixed and what still isn't working correctly in RTTS?
