If you've downloaded the recent Lost Planet: Extreme Condition demo you might have had trouble getting connected to the game's online servers. It's not completely clear what the problem is, but according to the PlayStation.Blog the issues are being dealt with. The demo has been temporarily taken down from the PlayStation Network and an updated version with an actual working multiplayer mode should be coming soon.
For those of you who've downloaded the demo and have got it to work, you'll now find that the servers have also been shut down in preparation for the new demo. Isn't this all really annoying? Sure. But at least it's getting a fix. Capcom assures that it will be "working overtime to correct the issues." Let's hope we get our demo back up by the end of the weekend, otherwise we'll just have to continue playing Devil May Cry 4 instead.

Ungrateful PS3Fanboy, I'm the one( with others) who mailed this story in tips. And these Retards didn't even put
"Thanks Everyone who sent this in ". This Majed Guy is getting on my nerves posting a Half-true story, you know the servers are still up and it says they are not. Learn to type correctly MR.Majed.

I managed to get one game yesterday which I thought was alright...
I thought it was because Im a UK user it was somehow "locking" me out of the servers.

i just assumed it was my shitty connection. i never got a game going. it would only show like 4 servers and even the ones with only 1 person in them would always show up full.

last night i was trying to play and i said "i thought they put up demos in an attempt to get you to want to buy the game? well this demo has already convinced me to not buy this game"
maybe i'll try it again if they fix it, doubtful though.

I want a better demo. One with Single player AND multiplayer, and the multiplayer to at least let you change the time limit. I cant judge it well, I like it yet dont, its hard to decide.

So if we already downloaded the demo, do we have to delete this one and download again? Or are they just fixing the servers? I had a little trouble trying to find a match and waiting a long time to get one going. The few times I was able to get on was fun. Love the dummy grenades.

Most probably you'll need to download a new one, hence the reason the demo was taken off the PSN.

How the hell do you let this kind of thing happen? I mean, if it was already fixed, then it obviously wasn't hard to fix, why couldn't they just do it in the first place?
