Umamusume: Pretty Derby Players Frustrated as Latest Update Breaks the Game

by

Even experienced players of gacha games were taken aback when horse girl game Umamusume: Pretty Derby immediately rose to the top of the charts at its launch. However, it’s not difficult to understand why this game has become so widely enjoyed. Featuring an immersive gameplay system and captivating characters, Umamusume stands out as a distinctive addition to the gacha gaming scene. The developers have been particularly generous with free gifts to commemorate the launch. However, a recent maintenance period provided fewer rewards than usual, in addition to apparently causing issues for many players.

Ever since the global debut of “Umamsume: Pretty Derby,” Cygames has been generously doling out Carats to players – the in-game currency essential for summoning characters via the game’s gacha system. Naturally, we fans are eager to save up these Carats to try and snag some top-tier racers. We all expected the freebies would eventually taper off, given that a gacha game relies on ‘whales’ spending real money to keep the free-to-play model sustainable. However, the latest maintenance period has left us feeling shortchanged, as it only awards a paltry 50 Carats – not nearly enough for a decent shot at those coveted racers.

Maintenance finished at 8:00 a.m., July 23 (UTC). We thank you for your patience during the maintenance period, and as a token of our appreciation, we’ve given our trainers a 50-carat gift. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. #Umamusume

The maintenance has ended at 8:00 a.m., July 23 (UTC). As a thank you for your understanding during the maintenance, we’ve presented trainers with a 50-carat gift. We regret any trouble caused in the process. #Umamusume

On the 23rd of July, the game “Umamusume: Pretty Derby” unexpectedly underwent maintenance for approximately an hour, causing temporary unavailability of the game. This disruption affected trainers who were actively playing at the time, locking them out and potentially causing loss of progress. As a gesture of goodwill, Cygames has compensated impacted players with 50 Carats. However, this is not the primary concern surrounding the latest update, as some players had anticipated more compensation.

Players Unable to Play Certain Modes Following Umamusume Update

During the latest upkeep phase for “Umamusume: Pretty Derby,” Cygames hasn’t disclosed specific changes made. No fresh events have started, nor can we find any new options to draw from the Scouts menu post-maintenance. However, some players have spotted a few glitches that emerged following the maintenance period’s conclusion.

In their maintenance announcement, Cygames warned about potential connection problems due to a surge in user activity on the game Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Unfortunately, some players have been experiencing difficulties logging in, and error codes such as 100 and 102 are appearing frequently. This has left several gamers unable to access the game. Even those who have managed to log in are encountering issues with certain features, with Team Trials seeming unusable for many players.

I’m having trouble with my game as it keeps crashing during team trials, and whenever I attempt to rejoin, it experiences the same issue. What can I do about this? 🙁

As a devoted fan of Umamusume, I’ve noticed numerous gamers posting screenshots of a stuck Team Trials screen in Cygames’ recent update. Some players, similar to myself, have experienced their game crashing during the Team Trials when the maintenance started. However, other fans like me can’t seem to access this game mode at all since the maintenance period began, and we’re eagerly waiting for a resolution.

It appears that numerous players are encountering this issue, yet it’s not affecting everyone. At the moment I’m typing this, I managed to finish a Team Trial in Umamsume: Pretty Derby without any problems. Here’s hoping that Cygames resolves the underlying cause of this problem for those affected players swiftly, so we can welcome back our Veteran Umamusume in the game once more.

Here are the steps:

1. Exit the game: Close the game application completely, ensuring that it is not running in the background.
2. Restart the game: Re-open the game and see if the problem persists.
3. If the issue continues, try restarting your device or computer to ensure that there are no temporary glitches causing the error.
4. If the problem still occurs after trying the above steps, you may want to reach out to the game’s customer support for further assistance.
