jgolenbo just posted about a client/server update that we plan to publish tomorrow morning: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/march-13-2020-escalation-hotfix-pc.253610/

Here are the details if you don't want to click the link:

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.

Hi all,

Adding to Wrel's post, we're scheduling a hotfix to go out tomorrow (Friday, March 13) at 6AM PDT / 1PM GMT that will include a priority fix restoring cert/ISO rewards from Meltdown Alerts. It will require bouncing servers (a short downtime of <1 hour) which we're performing as early as possible so we beat EU primetime.

Rest of the notes are here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/march-13-2020-escalation-hotfix-pc.253610/

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.
