Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launched with a bullseye on it as many critics and fans were extremely dismissive of the idea of Rocksteady making another game in the Arkham universe that wasn’t a single-player affair. It certainly didn’t help that upon its release, there was a litany of bugs, many of which impacted the core multiplayer aspect.

Since then, both Rocksteady and its community management team have been largely quiet. However, that silence was broken yesterday on the official Discord server for the looter shooter.

Known issues with workarounds

  • Steam players receive the “Not in the A.R.G.U.S. database” error when trying to invite other Steam friends.
    - Workaround: Set matchmaking to “Open to friends” and use the Steam overlay to invite other Steam players.
  • The grenade gear slot remains locked after completing the “Don’t Blow It” mission.
    - Workaround: Talk to Penguin in the Hall of Justice and craft a grenade while in control of the affected character to equip it.
  • The second firearm slot becomes locked.
    - Workaround: Talk to Penguin in the Hall of Justice and craft a weapon while in control of the affected character to equip it.
  • Preorder/Deluxe Edition/Twitch drops/Luthor Coins are missing or have not been added to an account.
    - Workaround: Several fixes were implemented to combat this issue. If you are still affected, please contact Customer Support.
  • Losing Game Progress
    - Workaround: This has been found to be the result of unlinking a WB Games Account and linking it to another. Since progress is tied to the WB Games account, it will need to be reconnected to the service you are playing on (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox).

Known issues under investigation

  • Loading into a session kicks you back to the login screen.
  • Infinite loading or crashing while signing into WB Services.
  • Errors retrieving the EULA.
  • Legendary and Notorious Gear losing its augments when Overhauling.
  • Deadshot’s general shenanigans in Rival Taunts.

Issues that have been resolved and are pending release

  • Players being unable to increase their Finite Crisis rank or unlock Mastery levels after playing with someone who has already progressed beyond Mastery 30.
    - Note: This can be avoided if players have played through the introduction to endgame and completing the Mayhem mission before playing with others at higher Mastery levels.
  • Twitch Drops not being granted.
  • Ivy turning invisible in cinematics.
  • Players being unable to pay for Incursion missions when playing with friends.
  • Shield harvesting contracts not being tracked.
  • Voice chat not working when matchmaking is set to Open to Public.
  • Game outright crashing during shader optimization.
  • Achievements not unlocking on select platforms.

It’s good to see that the bugs are being acknowledged and fixes are on the way. However, the fixes need to come sooner rather than later. I’ve already given up on multiplayer due to constant crashes until fixes are rolled out. If Rocksteady can’t get the game in a playable state, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League might be killed off before Brainiac gets the chance to do it himself.
