With each update, Driveclub is slowly improving when it comes to online gameplay. In the most recent status post, developer Evolution Studios confirmed that the "majority" of players can now get online, but that the servers still struggle at peak times of day. To that end, the developer says they are "still working to improve connectivity with every update to the servers."
Evolution Studios also acknowledged that some players are having problems getting into multiplayer races and posting leaderboard results.
"These connectivity issues stem from the same unforeseen server problem that we've been working to get on top of since we launched DRIVECLUB, and while we are getting on top of the problem now, we are still working round the clock to keep improving gameplay for you," Evolution assured in the latest post. "This means there will be regular server updates in the coming days to get all of you connected and enjoying all of DRIVECLUB all of the time."
Sadly, the problems that still exist with the retail version of the game means that PlayStation Plus members must continue to wait for the release of the free Driveclub PS Plus Edition.
