|---|---|
| 2s | we are here uh with the big trio now so |
| 6s | uh dennis is back hey dennis how are you |
| 8s | doing hello okay |
| 10s | hope you are good uh everyone miss you |
| 13s | in the chat |
| 14s | i miss the chatter and uh uh i know that |
| 18s | stefan has been on many crisis streams |
| 20s | but i don't think he has been on a hunt |
| 22s | fun before uh he is a associate producer |
| 24s | for hunt so hey stefan how are you doing |
| 27s | today hello yeah i'm fine |
| 29s | it's really great now to connect with |
| 31s | the run community so thank you |
| 34s | yeah awesome to have you on and uh |
| 36s | to start with we will be talking about |
| 38s | some technical features and it's gonna |
| 41s | be stefan of guiding us through of three |
| 44s | bigger one of these so |
| 46s | let's just dive into these |
| 48s | uh |
| 49s | starting with the server stability |
| 50s | improvements that we've added in 1.9 |
| 54s | correct so first i want to mention so we |
| 57s | are listening to the feedback and we are |
| 58s | aware of the um |
| 60s | server issues we are facing at the |
| 62s | moment |
| 63s | so we are really totally aware of this |
| 65s | but you also need to understand what |
| 66s | issues we are facing at the moment and |
| 68s | that's the reason |
| 69s | for this first light we want to go |
| 71s | through it please |
| 73s | yeah so the first one is that we're |
| 75s | challenging it challenges with a |
| 77s | globally open game |
| 78s | as you know from the beginning we had an |
| 81s | open game that means someone from |
| 82s | australia can |
| 83s | connect to the server and us if |
| 86s | everything is possible if you have a |
| 87s | ping of 100 000 for example in theory |
| 89s | right you can play wherever you want |
| 91s | with all the friends you have |
| 93s | or just alone and that is of course also |
| 96s | also |
| 97s | very challenging for us now because |
| 99s | we're getting a higher player base we |
| 101s | face now over 30 000 players |
| 103s | sometimes at the same time |
| 105s | and that means um yeah we need to make |
| 107s | some daily restrictions in this regards |
| 109s | i tell you later why but it's fair and |
| 112s | you will understand what we are changing |
| 114s | at the end |
| 115s | okay the second point is because of the |
| 117s | other a lot of data going through one |
| 119s | channel |
| 119s | that means everyone is connecting to one |
| 122s | server maybe the the latency is very |
| 124s | high at the end from the player and then |
| 126s | he's also downloading uploading data |
| 129s | through that one channel that means that |
| 130s | we'll be coming delays and now i |
| 132s | mentioned with 30 000 people connecting |
| 134s | to one channel and it's getting stacking |
| 136s | to each other and at the end some people |
| 139s | experience some likes maybe on the |
| 140s | server and that is also one of the |
| 142s | reasons |
| 144s | yep globally high traffic |
| 146s | um it's known that many people are now |
| 148s | home office for example the globally |
| 150s | high traffic is much higher compared to |
| 153s | two years ago |
| 154s | and we cannot break any physics right |
| 157s | that means if someone's connecting from |
| 158s | one continent to the other one the |
| 161s | latency is high um |
| 163s | yeah that we don't own an own pipeline |
| 166s | of internet |
| 167s | yeah sorry just to interrupt you for a |
| 168s | second any chance you could turn your |
| 170s | own volume up because i actually maxed |
| 172s | you out but uh i think you are audible |
| 174s | but it maybe could be a bit louder for |
| 177s | people maximum stef yeah i i you are 200 |
| 181s | percent on my discord now so |
| 183s | the more the better you know uh |
| 185s | some people say it's fine i wasn't here |
| 188s | over 9000 that's exactly the hand |
| 189s | setting so |
| 192s | okay is it better now |
| 194s | i think so uh i'll monitor the check |
| 196s | thank you yeah uh sans okay sounds good |
| 199s | yeah so um and because of all the |
| 201s | reasons i have mentioned of course also |
| 203s | our back end is overloaded so it's a |
| 205s | domino effect of all these |
| 208s | things i have mentioned now in this |
| 209s | presentation and we have also made |
| 211s | improvements which i will also come in |
| 213s | later on this point and on the last |
| 214s | point ben's please we also face some |
| 217s | malicious attacks um sadly um but there |
| 220s | was also one of the reasons we need to |
| 222s | take care in the past a few months and |
| 224s | these are the issues we're facing at the |
| 226s | moment |
| 227s | but |
| 228s | good news is we have solutions in place |
| 230s | and you will um |
| 232s | know them very quickly in that stream |
| 233s | here |
| 234s | yep so the goals are of course improving |
| 236s | overall service ability i know it's very |
| 238s | easy just to mention over improving |
| 240s | server performance but we have made a |
| 242s | lot of work in this regards |
| 244s | and |
| 245s | we we really looked with the team with |
| 247s | the full network team also in the |
| 249s | backend team together with the |
| 250s | performance team together in all the |
| 252s | areas which we could whichever could |
| 253s | improve into the game also in a lot of |
| 256s | work with the qa together to profile |
| 258s | everything so with one nine you will see |
| 260s | a little got a lot of good improvements |
| 262s | regarding these two points yeah just to |
| 265s | mention here uh since uh obviously we |
| 267s | already talked about several related |
| 268s | issues in the last updates we have |
| 270s | already implemented some of these and we |
| 272s | are adding more to this update and |
| 274s | obviously in the future as well but it's |
| 276s | an ongoing process and uh some things |
| 278s | take a longer time so please bear with |
| 280s | us we are working on this is a very high |
| 282s | priority uh very big part of the team uh |
| 285s | so the improvements are coming and uh |
| 287s | yeah stefanos said this update also has |
| 289s | some good improvements for you in store |
| 291s | and yeah let's take a look at those |
| 295s | it's yeah so we have seen that uh |
| 297s | multiple dedicated server crashes |
| 300s | um appeared in the past we have fixed |
| 304s | many of them really many of them so i |
| 306s | hope you should not face them anymore in |
| 308s | the game of course then on the second |
| 309s | point please lens |
| 311s | yeah improvements made when dedicated |
| 312s | server loses connection to server |
| 314s | gateway |
| 315s | so that was also one of the reasons |
| 316s | which i mentioned before with the domino |
| 318s | effect that if the if you're having a |
| 320s | big delay um between server and you |
| 322s | you're just getting a connection timer |
| 324s | for example and you're kicked out of the |
| 326s | game so we made a lot of improvements |
| 328s | and also we increased the tolerance |
| 330s | which you can see in the last point here |
| 331s | now that you have a you can so the |
| 333s | connection between you and the server |
| 335s | could take longer a little bit so you'll |
| 337s | still connect to the server |
| 339s | exactly so you will disconnect likes |
| 342s | basically |
| 343s | uh if you experienced like many |
| 344s | disconnects in the past it should be uh |
| 347s | they're more tolerant from a server so |
| 348s | you won't get disconnected that easily |
| 350s | anymore |
| 351s | correct |
| 352s | but as i mentioned yes with the next |
| 355s | points i will tell you how we will fight |
| 357s | against it a little bit to improve also |
| 359s | your experience of the hunt game |
| 361s | yes so we have new we have now a new |
| 363s | system in place for capability |
| 365s | that means also if yeah if we're getting |
| 368s | some capacity issues at peaks um that we |
| 371s | have this system in place now which can |
| 373s | just intercept all the |
| 376s | capacity issues |
| 377s | and we hope then with the next new peaks |
| 380s | we should not run into any issues |
| 382s | anymore it doesn't matter how much |
| 383s | players will play hunt um it should |
| 385s | hopefully be unsafe and we should not |
| 387s | see any server downside then yeah some |
| 390s | of people uh just to |
| 392s | make them understand what it means when |
| 393s | you have the message that servers are |
| 394s | currently or occupied and searching for |
| 396s | servers that issue should be very |
| 399s | quickly solved now because we can scale |
| 401s | up the servers very quickly and uh |
| 403s | actually in 1.8.1 uh we created a test |
| 407s | run of it in the asia region |
| 410s | but now with 1.9 it is coming to us as |
| 413s | well as europe |
| 415s | correct so asia was our let's say test |
| 417s | pilot but now with one nine we have also |
| 419s | aided for u.s and europe |
| 421s | and then we should |
| 423s | should be fine with that |
