Smite Dev Tracker

Hey there, SMITE players.

We know this week's down time has been frustrating for y'all, so we wanted to touch base to give you some insight as to what has been going on this week. This might seem like server issues, but all of it was us testing/rolling back code changes to improve game stability for future launches (including Mid Season next week):

⚡ On Tuesday, we brought SMITE servers down in an attempt to test the new core programming services update before Tuesday's upcoming Mid Season Update to find and track any issues and resolve anything that may come up on Mid Season launch day (one of our busiest days of the year).  We did find issues, so we had to roll it back to a temporary core programming services build that had some potential fixes from the Match Manager (the code that manages queues, matchmaking, lobbies) crashes we'd seen pop up in the last couple of weeks. 

⚡ Then on Wednesday, we found that that build had a deadlock issue between some Mat...

Hey! Can you try clearing both your SMITE game cache/save data and then hard power cycling your PS4 to see if that fixes it for you?

• On the system home menu select settings.
• Select Application Saved Data Management
• Select Saved Data in System Storage.
• Select Delete.
• Select SMITE
• Select Settings and chose delete.

Then uninstall SMITE

After SMITE is uninstalled power cycle your console by shutting it down(not rest mode), waiting 30 seconds then turning it back on. After you've power cycled re-install SMITE.

I am quite active here, and Ive also described a few times why we won't bring this one back.

Medusa's Deathmatch is not a mode we can just rotate in - it has a huge amount of extra rules and features that are required for it to work - specifically this refers to the 3 teams feature.

This affects the game's UI in many ways that are totally unique to this game mode, and won't necessary work if we just turn it back on. Its actually a lot of code implementation work to "bring this back" - any old adventure with a lot of specific extra rules like this are hard to bring back (dungeons, racer, CTF, deathmatch)

Modes that are just "maps" and mostly play like normal SMITE games - are much easier to bring back (classic joust, domination, corrupted arena)
