Has anyone experienced the "stuck" issue on Capital Supremacy since we disabled AI?

I want u/f8rge and u/ea_charlemagne to get the idea of him ruining every game for the DS

He's already scheduled to get some changes, specifics pending tests etc

Dude finally! Someone else having issues with the Virginia servers! It seriously felt like I was the only one.

/u/F8RGE Is there any planned server maintenance across all platforms?

We're always looking at our servers, I'll flag with the team.

What sort of problems are you having on Virginia, does it happen on other ping sites too?

I hope they return with the hotfix.

That's the current plan.

Thanks. Really hope the AI don't go the way of squad spawn BP and do actually return...we're a huge differentiator IMO

We really don't want that. We have no plans to remove them permanently as they are a big part of our vision for Capital Supremacy.

Want to give you a quick heads up to let you know that we are planning a hotfix, currently aiming for a release next week. We will be finishing work on the hotfix today and it will then have a few days of additional testing and other deployment processes that are required before we can release.

The hot fix will focus on a number of crashes that have been occurring since this week’s Capital Supremacy update. We will have the full release notes ahead of its deployment.

At this time, we are planning to leave the AI switched off in Capital Supremacy. With our tests today, we have found that having them switched off is reducing the majority of crashes that have been occurring. The current plan is to re-enable them once we have confirmed stability.

Indeed they did. Lightsabers and blaster next perhaps?

It's on our backlog of things we'd like to do, time and scope permitting.

He's teasing some brand new bugs, I am sure.

We don't need to tease

In approximately 10 minutes from this post going live we'll be turning AI off from Capital Supremacy. They will return this afternoon (Stockholm time). This is to help us investigate some crashes.

During this time we will also be reducing the number of heroes down from 4 to 2.

Edit: reaching out to u/EA_Charlemagne for acknowledgement. Can you tell us if you’re aware of these problems?

Aware and investigating. Seems to be a pretty complicated issue.

I said shortly after I made this post that we're still looking at things. Benefit of these tweaks is that they can be done server side.

Just wondering if you're aware of this as well as the not being able to spawn at all bug?

Yes.
