0s let's move on to our other big topic
3s because you guys are asking again which
5s is the servers obviously also a very
8s very very hot topic right now in the
9s community and there's a good reason why
11s as well and uh yeah i see uh people
14s still asking for a bunch of other bugs
16s uh with update 1.8.1 we will have a
18s bunch of bug fixes uh i just wanted to
21s mention a few as highlights but
24s obviously as soon as we have the patch
25s notes you will be able to read about all
27s the fixes there there's a lot of fixes
29s yeah the the bug section of this patch
31s notes is is quite a long one but fun to
33s read through it's always fun
36s all right uh for the server issues uh we
39s want to start by apologizing we know
42s when the servers get disrupted it can be
45s very
46s you know jarring while you're in game
49s and if you're in the middle of firefight
51s or you know you're gonna just get out
53s with that bounty it can be really
54s frustrating
55s we know the server issues did escalate a
58s bit during the live or during the event
60s and those for a few different factors we
63s also heard
64s just to quickly address at the start of
66s the stream that we're having some eu
68s server problems
70s from what we can see on our side we
72s think they've been resolved for people
73s who might have been playing hunt as the
75s stream was getting started but we're
77s still watching that and
79s with all our server issues we do try to
81s address them as quickly as possible
84s we're watching our discord we watch
85s twitter
87s one of my jobs as a us community manager
90s is that i'm a different time zone as
92s most of our people located in germany or
94s eu and that is just so we can spread out
97s more people over a greater period of
99s time that we're watching for these
100s reports we're watching to see when these
102s server issues happen and we can address
104s them as quickly as possible right now
106s our servers are pretty much our top
108s priority and we are working to get them
111s more stable and
114s going forward we've
116s identified a few different cases that
118s have caused
120s these server drops these cases have
122s included
123s isp problems that's your internet
125s service provider
126s compatibility with them and hunt have
129s not been great but we're looking into
131s that we also had some malicious attacks
134s that happened during the
136s event this is something else that we're
139s looking into and we want to be more
141s protected at against in the future we've
144s also
145s had our own system and back-end issues
147s for the hunt servers themselves so it's
149s not always
150s uh you know other people's problems with
153s the isps and with malicious attacks part
155s of it is our own system that we're
156s looking at and we're working to improve
158s let's just look at the issues a bit
160s separately and uh what we are doing with
162s them so as we as ary mentioned we had
165s some isp issues as well as malicious
168s attacks basically to resolve the isp
171s issues in particular
173s we are looking at other ways considering
175s alternative approaches to ensure that
177s our packets are rooted through faster
180s networks in those cases where it's
181s needed so obviously it depends on the
183s isp and then they resurface but we want
186s to uh ensure this and this should help
189s if
190s alleviating the issues sorry for that
192s and uh yeah as for the malicious uh
195s attacks uh we already implemented better
197s protection against them so this should
201s solve those issues on that and so that's
204s very good to see let's take a look at
207s our own systems and our backend where we
210s also have found multiple issues first of
212s all since uh we've seen that you guys uh
216s and seen the server issues ever since uh
218s they started uh we made it like our
221s highest priority straight away because
223s of that we already managed to implement
225s some fixes
227s so it should be already much better than
229s it used to be than it is in our system
231s and back end we also have a lot more
234s fixes coming with a future update
236s it shouldn't be too far away
239s from 1.8 1.8.1 but it will be a future
241s update after that and that will tackle
244s uh like the
245s majority of the remaining issues uh on
248s our end
249s so uh that hopefully will uh
252s fix most of your problems and also
255s to make sure that our service is always
258s in a good quality we are also looking
259s into other alternatives for the future
262s uh to make sure it's always good we
265s really want to uh tell you guys what we
267s are doing so we will uh release a blog
269s of this as well uh that will still take
272s some time because it will be probably
274s online when the bigger fix arrive in the
276s future update but uh around that time we
278s will have a detailed explanation to
280s these for you as well
