/// Driveclub Update 10/20
We can see that the majority of you can now get online, but we know that at peak times of the day it can still be hard to get connected, so we are still working to improve connectivity with every update to the servers.
We can also see that when you do get connected, some of you are having a hard time getting into multiplayer races and that posting leaderboard results can sometimes take a lot longer than you’d expect.
These connectivity issues stem from the same unforeseen server problem that we’ve been working to get on top of since we launched DriveClub, and while we are getting on top of the problem now, we are still working round the clock to keep improving gameplay for you. This means there will be regular server updates in the coming days to get all of you connected and enjoying all of DriveClub all of the time.
We will continue to keep you up to speed with the improvements we make and would like to thank you again for all of your feedback and messages about your time with the game so far – please keep them coming.
“News will come as soon as we have concrete info – sorry to keep you all waiting.”

/// PS4 Firmware 2.0 “Masamune”: New Information on Share Play and Music Player Shared by Sony
The Share Play feature, which is built into the party chat app, will also follow the rules below:
►You can be in a Party with 8 people, but Share Play can be done only with one of them at the same time. The rest of the Party won’t be able to see the screen, but will still be able to chat with host and guest.
►When the host is visualizing any other screen than the game being shared, the guest is shown a “stand by” screen.
►The Share Play time is limited to one hour, and the remaining time is visualized in the Party screen, but you can start a new session immediately after the one before expires.
►Certain games may have scenes that cannot be displayed during Share Play.
►While you use Share Play, livestreaming and remote play are not available.
►The guest cannot save video clips and screenshots during share play.
There’s some more info also about the USB Music Player app:
►It’s not possible to copy music files from USB to the internal hard disk of the PS4.
►The tile of the USB music player will be shown exclusively if the connected USB storage has a “Music” folder. Also, it cannot be used at the same time as Music Unlimited.
►Tracks played by the music player won’t be heard while livestreaming and in videos recorded by the PS4.
