Maybe this is just a issue with this game, but I just can't ignore the online issues. The online basically never works
Online almost NEVER works the way it's supposed to. Each day it has a slightly different error on either the tower online, open park, or public rooms. Private rooms seem to consistently work fine, though. Absolutely horrendous.
EVERYTHING in this game works perfectly, but it's incredible how the user experience can be SO SO BAD. First thing, already does happen in every system, not only linux, but you have to connect to the servers to enter the MAIN MENU??? And it's not quick, it always, for me, takes AT LEAST 3 minutes. And my internet is not bad, I always get at least 160+ mb upload and download speeds, and delay is generally not higher than 5 ms. And then, for acessing ANY menu that has an online feature, even if you're NOT necessarily using it, it NEEDS TO CONNECT TO SERVERS AGAIN???? WHERE DID MY 3 MINUTES GO??? You CAN bypass the loading to get to the main menu by disabling the internet connection, but guess what, even if you connect again in the main menu, it most likely won't work out if you try to connect to online. You'll have to restart the game and go through the loading.
BUT WAIT! That's only THE BEGINNING of the horrible user experience here. If I try to enter any lobbies, be it tower (ranked) or open park (non-ranked) it almost ALWAYS will have a different issue each day. Generally what happens is, any time you try to enter on a station, you'll first time get a message saying "Couldn't obtain Duel information", and you'll be left in a connecting state in which you have to wait for the game to want to free you, because you'll be unable to do anything for some good minutes. GENERALLY after you try entering in a station AGAIN after getting this error it'll work... But only if it's quick enough, because the game automatically disconnects you after a few minutes (Generally around 10, doesn't pass 20)
But that's only the DEFAULT behavior, because during the first 3 or 4 days after I bought the game, every day I tried logging into this game, I got a different issue when trying to do something on online. I literally only could actually play ranked for 2 days or so.
I could be here all day ranting, but I think you got the idea.. This game's online is a sh*tshow.
