It has now been 48 hours since the updates were implemented, and chat continues to be stable. We will monitor and keep this thread open for further updates.

Updated 2023/05/16 - 12:00

It’s been 24 hours since the updates we performed at downtime yesterday have been in effect. In those 24 hours we have seen chat stability return.

The chat stability validates the results of our investigation, which has been ongoing since these issues arose, in that the underlying cause of the outages was due to a third party. We will continue to monitor the chat system and will update you when further information is able to be disclosed.

Updated 2023/05/15 - 15:39

Since downtime today chat has remained stable and we see no indicators that is going to change. We will continue monitoring and give updates if that changes and chat starts getting outages again.

In the short term we are working on changes that prevent this from happening again. Once the necessary changes are in place we will share with you all what those are and some of the fundamental changes that we intend to make to the chat system going forward to prevent these sort of issues.

We are still keeping this issue marked as ongoing for now until we are satisfied that it remains stable in the long term.

Hello everyone,

We understand that this outage has been incredibly frustrating so thank you for your patience as we attempt to resolve it. Know that it is our highest priority to fix this issue.

After investigations over the weekend, this morning we have implemented a few changes for the chat system which should take effect after downtime today and will hopefully fully resolve the outages.

We will continue to have updates throughout today as we monitor the effects of the changes we have made.

Updated 2023/05/12 - 13:15

Our latest attempts to stabilize the chat after downtime were unsuccessful and chat remains unstable.

As we continue working on solving this problem, to help to alleviate the major problems that arise from the lack of or inconsistent local chat we have put together a temporary stable local which is Opt-in and is accessible through the Feature Previews System.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS OPT-IN LOCAL CHAT:

Enabling this feature creates a separate new instance of Local and they DO NOT share what is posted.

Seeing other players in this local should be very accurate and stable.

STANDINGS CAN BE INACCURATE.
FLAGS CAN BE INACCURATE.

After enabling this feature, when logging back in the next time, there may be a brief black screen and pause as you transition past the character selection screen and into the game.

We will next update you on the progress of solving this problem when there is more information that can be shared.


Updated 2023/05/12 - 12:43
