<div><img src=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/143/750×445/1418469.jpg” class=”ff-og-image-inserted”></div><div readability=”50″><p>Many Outriders fans are unable to play the game tonight, and it looks like issues are set to continue over the coming hours.</p><p>If you’re experiencing error messages referencing “Outriders internet connection error”, this is down to technical problems and not connected to a platform outage.</p><p>It probably has nothing to do with your own connection, or PC, Xbox, or PlayStation console setup.</p><p>The latest news from Square Enix is that they are currently investigating an issue that is affecting the availability of Core Game Components.</p><p>The good news is that the Outriders team are working to fix this as soon as possible, but that doesn’t mean things will be returning to normal just yet.</p></div><div readability=”52″><p>Over on Twitter, Square Enix confirmed that they were having to turn off Outriders servers to try and fix the current issues, telling gamers:</p><p>“Server issues are still being investigated! We deeply apologize that coming back online is taking longer than expected – we are trying our best to ensure that we can safeguard against such issues in future and are therefore looking into root causes, not just symptoms.</p><p>This was followed by another message, revealing: “We are about to do the mother of all turn-it-off-and-on-again.</p><p>“This will take all servers offline for a short duration. The complete downage will allow us to rebuild and recover server infrastructure in order to bring it back into a healthy and stable state.”</p><p>And following this drastic action, there still seems to be problems with gamers connecting to the Outriders servers.</p></div><div readability=”49″><p><span>The latest update from the team within the last hour reads: “We are running checks on the restored infrastructure now to ensure it is operating as intended.</span></p><p>“While we don’t yet have a guaranteed fix or an ETA we are working on getting you back online asap. Please stay tuned!”</p><p>The good news is that this was shared a little while ago, meaning servers could return to normal before the end of the day in the UK.</p><p>However, with so many gamers looking to explore Outriders since it first launched, server problems are expected to continue during the weekend.</p><p>This could mean intermittent issues knocking players offline from time to time, depending on how many people try to access the game on Saturday and Sunday.</p></div><div readability=”47″><p>For those that haven’t kept up with the latest releases, Outriders is a new looter shooter published by Square Enix, which has been building hype in 2021.</p><p>Offering a chunky demo for those who want to try it out, Outriders has already surpassed a million peak users on Steam, with plenty having tried it on consoles too.</p><p>Not only has Outriders proven popular in its early days, but Microsoft has also added it to the Xbox Game Pass for launch week.</p><p>This means you can download and play it as part of your subscription on Xbox One and Xbox Series X… as soon as servers are back online.</p></div><p><strong><a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org”></a></strong> <a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org/acceptable.html”>(Why?)</a></p> Fri, 02 Apr 2021 21:20:00 +0000 Gary Jones

Die Last, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.</p></div><div readability=”63″><p>Descriptions for each game and its removal date can be found below:</p><p><strong>BLACK OPS 3 – April 29</strong></p><p><em>In the dark future of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, the lines are blurred between humanity and the technology we’ve created, a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare. Tackle Treyarch’s story campaign solo, or squad up with another player in local split-screen or online.</em></p><p><strong>THE CREW 2 – May 6</strong></p><p><em>In The Crew 2, take on the American motorsports scene as you explore and dominate the land, air, and sea of the United States in one of the most exhilarating open worlds ever created. With a wide variety of exotic cars, bikes, boats, and planes to choose from, experience the unbridled thrill and adrenaline-pumping excitement of competing across the entire USA as you test your skills in a wide range of driving disciplines.</em></p><p><em><strong>KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE – May 3</strong></em></p><p><em>In the midst of this chaos, you’re Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Your peaceful life is shattered when a mercenary raid, ordered by King Sigismund himself, burns your village to the ground. Fate drags you into this bloody conflict and shoves you into a raging civil war, where you help fight for the future of Bohemia.</em></p></div><p><strong><a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org”></a></strong> <a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org/acceptable.html”>(Why?)</a></p> Fri, 02 Apr 2021 20:00:00 +0000 Gary Jones

Celebrities have cottoned on to the catchy TikTok viral hit, including Queen guitarist <a data-link-tracking=”InArticle|Link” href=”https://www.express.co.uk/latest/brian-may” target=”_blank” rel=”tag”>Brian May</a>, who’s performed the track on his Instagram page. Evans was amazed to see this, with the 73-year-old even contributing a guitar solo to his Wellerman live performance on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.</p></div><div readability=”44.631782945736″><p>One of Brian’s biggest hints on Instagram included: “Hope I get the chance to play on his album. Hmmm … I wonder if [Queen track] ‘39 would suit him ?</p><p>“Well it IS a kind of sea-faring song – written while sailing on the Milky Way, about 118 years in the future, I guess. What d’ye think ? “Don’t you hear my call…? Bri.’”</p><p>While on another occasion the music legend wrote: “I’d enjoy doing something serious with Nathan some time, if the planets aligned … Bri.”</p><p>But now Express.co.uk have caught up with both the Queen legend and rising star. Speaking with Brian first about the possibility of the two musicians teaming up, he admitted: “I think it could happen.”</p><p><strong>READ MORE:&nbsp;<a data-link-tracking=”InArticle|Link” href=”https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1417275/Brian-May-Queen-Wellerman-singer-Nathan-Evans-sea-shanty” data-name=”Brian May praises Wellerman star Nathan Evans: Team up ‘could happen'” target=”_blank”>Brian May praises Wellerman star Nathan Evans: Team up ‘could happen'</a></strong></p></div><div readability=”11.17671009772″><div class=”text-description” readability=”45″><p>Brian continued: “We haven’t actually spoken, but we’ve both expressed an interest in doing something if the opportunity comes up.</p><p>“To be honest I’m always wary of pushing myself… it’s nice when things happen naturally.</p><p>“But I really like what he’s done to the world of current music. A new fresh slant – but grounded in solid history.”</p><p>After sharing these comments with Evans, he replied: “Ah nice! That’s amazing. Ah, that’s fantastic, I’ll need to get in touch with him and see if we can work something out.”</p></div></div><div readability=”48″><p>Asked if Ed has heard Wellerman, Evans replied: “As far I as I know I don’t think so, but I did see when he turned 30 he uploaded that picture of a cake, that was like a pirate cake. So I don’t know if that was a hint…but I like to tell myself it was anyway!”</p><p>The Wellerman star also shared that he intends to release his debut studio album this year, one that will have a variety of music on it.</p><p>The 26-year-old said: “I’ve been writing amid all the craziness of the charts.&nbsp;I’ve been recording new music and writing as well, so it’s going to be a mixture of different stuff.</p><p><span>“I’ve got some sea shanties recorded and I’ve got some proper songs that I wrote myself recorded.”</span></p></div><div readability=”45.580865603645″><p>On how his family’s finding his newfound fame, Evans said: “They’re loving it.</p><p>“They don’t treat me any different. I imagine if I was a bit younger around 18 or 19 it may be a bit different.”</p><p>Aside from an album, Evans is heading off on tour this December, performing in Dublin, Manchester, London and Glasgow, before travelling across Europe in January.</p><p><em><strong>Tickets for Nathan Evans’ debut tour are on sale now and can be purchased <a data-link-tracking=”InArticle|Link” rel=”nofollow” href=”https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/nathan-evans-tickets?omq=nathan%20evans” target=”_blank”>here</a>.</strong></em></p></div><p><strong><a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org”></a></strong> <a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org/acceptable.html”>(Why?)</a></p> Fri, 02 Apr 2021 18:20:00 +0000 George Simpson
