4/6 We wish we could just throw money at the problem and buy more servers but there are a lot of moving parts and scaling is an incredibly complicated issue that takes time.
3/6 Full transparency, we just hit 65k concurrent which we are really proud of. But going from 50k to 65k in 24 hours is not an easy task And going from 1k to 65k in a week is barely humanly possible.
2/6 Right now it is literally a race against time as we try to put out updates (with less testing than we would like) as we struggle to keep up with the increase in players.
1/6 Hey guys, we are really sorry about the repeated server issues. I know how frustrating it is (trust me, we are frustrated too). We are doing everything we possibly can to stay on top of things and the 4 of us are sleeping about 2-3 hours per night.
Note: any progress 'lost' will come back! This includes skins, items, xp, level, and rank! They're actually not lost, it's just a symptom of our current server situation.
We've smashed our previous peak concurrent player count which strained the servers once again!
The servers will be taken down temporarily for maintenance to push further optimizations.
This has been the most stressful but rewarding week of our lives, thanks for your patience!
If you are stuck queueing it's because we let people in too fast. Just quit the game and restart and you will get back in in the next 5-10 mins.
Opened the floodgates too fast! Bare with us🙏
We are back with more server capacity than ever! Over the next 30 mins we will be letting you all back in as we spin up more and more servers.
THANK YOU for being so supportive, patient, and understanding. We have the best community ever and are so excited for launch next week!
Things are taking a little longer than expected to upgrade. Will be back up shortly and will of course let you all know when we are! Thanks everyone!🙏
Sorry about the short notice! We didn't think numbers would get this high for another 2 hours. Normally our peak is at 1pm pacific time.
We are taking servers offline temporarily for the next hour. We are already hitting a new peak in concurrent players so we need to deploy an update to increase capacity.
Thanks for your continued patience!
Usually go with the flow. This time I must insist. Pick Beta Fish. I'm cool. Glub Glub. 🐠

You better vote SplitCat. I have access to the server's self-destruct button. ~Splitcat🐾

You decide who stays and who goes.
📣Shoutout to our Back-end guy for doing an unbelievable job at taking the servers from 4k to 50k+ concurrent players!
AND he accomplished this in less than a week! It's the behind-the-scenes people like him that make this all possible.👏
Servers are back and running smoothly!
Not only have we gained 600K+ new users, we have reached 50k+ concurrent players! To put this in perspective, day 1 of the Open Beta we peaked at 4,000. Thank you for everyone's patience as we continue to scale up our servers! Try Races in the meantime!
Devs here with an important message (play w/ sound):
If your screen doesn't already have BETA burned-in, you're doing it wrong.
The competition in Ranked has been heating up and a ton of you have been asking for more!
So we'll be extending 4v4 Ranked Mode for the ENTIRE duration of the Beta! 🔥
Happy Fragging! ❤️
