Posted on 8 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch | 0 comments
February 29: If you’ve been trying to play Theatrhythm Final Bar Line today but haven’t been able to do so, it seems that this is because leap day is causing issues.
When starting up the rhythm game, it’ll attempt to connect to Square Enix’s servers. However, it gets stuck in an endless loop and won’t progress to the main menu. Square Enix seems to not have accounted for leap day and that’s impacting the code in some manner.
