Posting this for any future players who attempt to play ACVD.
Notice for Armored Core: Verdict Day on PS3/360. As of May 14th 2024, PVP via P2P for Playstation 3 is no longer available and the unavailability of Patch 1.03 (1.07 for Japan) for both consoles. Free Battle is still technically available on X360 side but is stuck on 1.00 (no patches).
-Armored Core: Verdict Day servers closed on March 31st 2024, but PVP Free Battle was still possible via P2P as long as players were logged into PSN.
-Attempting to boot the game will revert it back to 1.00, and the Free Battle menu will be greyed out for PS3 players.
-on May 14th, patches no longer applied when booting up the game. This meant that when players booted up ACVD, even if they were logged into PSN they could not access Free Battle (which does not require servers).
-Patch 1.03 (Patch 1.07 for Japan) was also no longer available meaning players would be playing the game with stats from launch
-We suspect part of the issue arises from the fact that ACVD did not get EoL patches like ACV did, which included the patch data so players could still PVP via P2P even after the servers closed.
-Armored Core Legacy has reached out to Bandai Namco (who pinged From Software) and have indicated that the behavior experienced "is as expected based on the ways the separate consoles handle server closures on their respective platforms."
-Armored Core Legacy also reached out to members of the JP community who reached out to FromSoftware directly and received a similar response.
-Oddly enough, the X360 side is not affected and can still do PVP Free Battle via P2P but are stuck on 1.00. It is unknown how long it will stay available.
Links for future reference.
