We are preparing a new PC hotfix for tomorrow (Friday, March 13) which includes a priority fix for Meltdown Alerts (reverting certs/ISO-4 rewards) along with additional fixes and changes. This will require a server bounce (brief downtime) starting at 6:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM GMT. Servers should be down no longer than 1 hour. Patch Notes:
  • VS Flash can equip cosmetics once again.
  • Outfit resource accrual now updates correctly an owned facility is lost.
  • Meltdown alerts once again grant 250 certs and 300 ISO-4 for a victory, and will grant 150 certs and 150 ISO-4 for a loss.
    • UPDATE: VS will receive no A7 for a loss or runner-up in a Meltdown alert. We're currently looking into this issue. (Fight hard, VS!)
  • Mini-map no longer resets its default zoom level when a menu screen is opened.
  • Updated LB00 AP (Lightning Primary Weapon) optic attachment prices to be in line with that of other Lightning optics....

A PC hotfix is scheduled to go out this afternoon (~4:30PM PDT) with fixes for the Escalation game update. This is client-only and will include a small download, but won't require server downtime or impact gameplay. Patch Notes:
  • Send Message now functions as intended and no longer brings up the Notifications window.
  • Sanctuary now has the proper art on the World Map screen.
  • Fixed broken text strings for the LA7 Buzzard.
  • Fixed two new crashes occurring on Live.
We are working toward another hotfix tomorrow (Friday, March 13) which may require server bounces and a brief downtime, and will update this thread once confirmed.
Comment

See the thread u/3punkt1415 posted - this is being tracked for an upcoming hotfix.

UPDATE @ 5:30PM (Pacific) - We published the following fixes via a client-only hotfix within the past hour.

  • Send Message now functions as intended and no longer brings up the Notifications window.
  • Sanctuary now has the proper art on the World Map screen.
  • Fixed broken text strings for the LA7 Buzzard.

We have a publish that will require a server bounce tentatively targeted for early tomorrow (Friday) morning. More details will be posted shortly.

--------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE @ 1:35PM (Pacific) - A client-only hotfix was published a short time ago to address two relatively low frequency client crashes. Again, no server downtime required. We are preparing a larger client-only hotfix with about a dozen fixes that we hope to publish later today. More details on that once we can confirm a publish time.

It's not that the servers have a cap (at least when it comes to login services - overall performance can obviously impacted) it's that we've identified a login issue that needs to be cleaned up on a session-by-session basis. It's just going to take longer on Miller and Cobalt because pop is so high and we can only clean up a certain number of sessions at a name; as primetime passes and more players log out, that will speed up the process, and leave us in a better state throughout today and leading into the weekend.

Hi all - responding here with the comment I dropped in the bug megathread:

We believe we've identified the login issue, and it's *NOT* actually server-specific; it's just affecting a lot more EU players right now with EU pops so high. We're in the process of cleaning out our server logs, but we can only clean so many sessions at a time, so this will likely continue throughout the day (and players will see a steady improvement as more people log in/out) rather than get done in one big swoop.

Is there a known issue with the logginservers, because i just can't login, stuck in the char screen for 5 minutes.

Replying back here in case folks missed my comment below:

I can't login at all as of now. When clicking the "Login" button on the char select screen, the circle will load indefinitely and never let me in game

EDIT : Either Cobalt or Miller characters if that helps.

Thanks - see the comment I just posted. We're seeing this across the board pop up intermittently, but *mostly* on EU servers (which could be because of pop or time of day). Please let us know what server you're playing on and time it occurred.

see my comment above - there isn't one single known issue, but we are seeing intermittent login issues across all servers. If it's still occuring for you, please reply to my comment above with the server you're playing on and time it occurred (multiple times, if multiple occurances). The more info we have, the easier and faster we can dig down to the root cause.
