Icarus Dev Tracker

Originally posted by Philmorbowls: Fix Me! 6th try and again had to fail the mission. Worm pops up 3-10 times then just never comes back. Thinking this has been about a month now (give or take) Fix issues, dont add anything new.

We're working on a fix for this for you.

It's been a really a weird, inconsistent bug. As you can see in this thread, many other people don't have issues, or inconsistent things like logging in again or restarting can resolve it. That's also meant that our devs couldn't reproduce the bug to find and fix it, despite testing and playing the mission many times over the last few weeks. So, we're going to add a workaround that should fix it. Keep an eye on the next 1-2 weekly update patch notes for a fix.

There are several advantages to storing the Outpost saves locally, especially performance-wise as that mode is designed to support large complex builds and store them with no time limit or expiry date. Enabling offline play by saving locally not on our servers also suits this kind of creative mode, which is often a time-consuming solo labor of love. A lot of players don't like single-player games that are unnecessarily 'always online'. It's also a mode where cheating doesn't affect other players in any way.

Sorry to hear this!

Outposts are saved on your local harddrive, but characters are saved on the game servers. So reinstalling Icarus would have wiped your Outposts.

This is mentioned in the FAQ but probably isn't super obvious. ... Read more

Which do you prefer: menus you can click through quickly and get to the next drop fast, or navigating your characters around in 3D to different screens, rooms and players?

Should be revived now Columbo, let me know if your character is okay now

As you were very close to the timer, I have revived your character who was abandoned. When you login, they should be okay.

We have a Christmas miracle for you today, something we’ve been quietly working on for the past few weeks in response to one of our most sought-after player requests.

You may be surprised to see any characters that were abandoned on a drop have reappeared in your Character Select screen!

Hey folks, sorry for the late post but we had a ~45 minute database outage. It is back up for now, so just stay in-game and your client should reconnect and save in the next few minutes.

Since our database maintenance last night, we've seen issues with saving talents and people are getting stuck on the save prompt.

This has been resolved by an update at the database-side so no client download is required.

Will fix when we can. Sorry it was a hashing failure with the latest changes.

Good to support some Kiwis!
I have a question though.

Can we get some KIWI unique animals placed into the map? I dont see why any lore would prevent this and it would give the game some KIWI elements.

Please do :D

Who knows, maybe you'll see something native to NZ appearing in the near future ;)

RESOLVED AT 5:34AM.

SOME DIFFICULTY RESTARTING A SERVICE AFTER MAINTENANCE, BUT FIXED. APOLOGIES FOR INCONVIENCE.


Scheduled Maintenance is **estimated** to begin at 4:45AM NZST (EDITED) (roughly 2 hours from now) and **estimate** it will last for a minimum of 40 minutes.

We are preparing all we need to so that the planned outage can occur and have it run fast. Please note this is the first time the service will be down, and we will be implementing important changes based on the existing load and previous outages. The service is top of the line, with the maximum available hardware. We have barely been stressing the raw processing power, but we need to make some changes to ensure timely responses. This is a very complicated update, involving our backend (database and companion services, like gateway and monitoring) and the client itself. It also includes content updates. We will do our best to resolve the maintenance as quickly as possible, but as it ... Read more

A scheduled maintenance for our backend will be happening tonight NZ time (afternoon UTC). We'll also release a major update with bug fixes, optimizations and new content.

The team have been working hard on the changes needed at backend. It shouldn't be long when it happens as we have staged everything in advance.

You will be able to play in Offline mode during the maintenance period, but be aware it uses a separate character and progression.

We'll let you know the exact time soon.

Will post updates.

10:15 PM possible a small outage only, seen to in fine now. going to keep an eye on things

10:20 PM tonights hotfix will help, as we have more seamless handling of anything intermittent in it

10:31 PM considering this outage over - but we're going to be working away on it tonight until we're satisfied.

10:55 PM note some people reported they were kicked again. possibly related to us restarting a small service. tonights update, which isn't out yet, will help smooth this over a lot more

Will post updates here.

4:27 PM SQL under unusual load. engineers investigating

4:36 PM unusual load problem identified. working on a fix.

4:49 PM found source of unusual load. found the likely issue. won't say what it is till action taken.

4:55 PM should be going back up now. apologies. will release details after tonight update. watching to confirm tho.

5:01 PM confirming resolved. i got eaten by a wolf while running around testing.

Known issue with AMD and fire in the game. We reached out to AMD but its something we will have to work through with AMD/Epics support.

See a lot of posts and questions about it. And it's very popular (understatement) on featureupvote. We've been considering how to do it for some time. We just want to make sure it's done in the way that still makes the consequences and tradeoffs of decisions worthwhile and meaningful.

The working theory is to have you spend exotics.

It's not something we want to rush in. Im sure in the short term it would make people happy, perhaps even bump up our review score - but *rushing* it in would be very bad long term. We will do this, but we will do it right. After the rocky launch the last thing I want to do is do a poor job of respec and break the game.
