Persistent State Where No Other Players Appear Even When Connected
After launching SKATE, the field I am connected to almost always has only around 5 to 20 players. Since there is no point in playing in such deserted instances, I log out and reconnect repeatedly for over an hour, dozens of times, yet the game keeps cycling me through what seems to be the same three or four low-population locations.
I know for a fact that there are fields with more than a hundred players, but every time I return to the title screen I am greeted with error codes, and I am sent to an almost empty field again.
On very rare occasions, I connect to a field with around 30 to 50 players, but the person who talks to me disappears, and the surrounding players vanish soon after. In other cases, players appear on the map but do not appear in the field at all, forcing me to attempt reconnection yet again.
While writing this, I have already spent ninety minutes repeating the same ridiculous process.
Is this abnormal, or is this considered normal behavior?
I would like an explanation of the cause and a method to resolve it.
