Developer Massive Entertainment is currently unable to release new content for The Division 2 due to issues with the build generation system. The company must first recreate that build system before the game can receive updates.
The new season of loot-shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 had already been delayed due to a “localization issue,” something developer Massive wanted to fix over the weekend. However, this went wrong on Saturday, so that the build-generation system no longer works. “We can’t update the game until this system is rebuilt,” said the developer.
The build-generation system is a collection of systems and scripts that work with the source code and assets build a game, explains a developer to PC Gamer. Die senior developer says that companies normally have a backup for this, which Massive does not seem to have.
The problem also prevented Massive from initially extending the current season, which meant that certain events would no longer be playable and that the game would therefore temporarily have less content. In the meantime Massive has one server-siderelease an update extending the previous season. It is not clear whether all problems with the build-generation system have been solved with this. Massive promises to compensate players for the postponement of the new season. The Division 2 was released in 2019 for Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
