🎢We peaked at ~20k users (~14k ingame + ~6k in the queue). Almost 38k unique users joined the test.
We tweaked several times the maximum allowed users to test how the queue was working.
Addressing some of the feedback we've seen during the test
❓Screen flashes 🔸We'll add an option to disable them on the Early Access release.
❓Character creation 🔸We're going to tweak the options available on release to have more variety (especially in hair options).
❓Searching for friends 🔸You will be able to search for other users and add them as friends in a future update. You will also be able to tag some of them as favorites and the server will prioritize to be put together with them.
❓Soft locking / Double starters / Save issues 🔸We detected some problems with the server not properly saving the progress made so after resetting it you were back to a previous state. We'll fix this issue during the week before the next test.
We're going to add an option to disable/reduce it in the upcoming release.
Thank you all so much for joining our stress test.
We've gathered a lot of data and made a lot of fixes and improvements over the course of the test.
See you at the next test on January 17 at 11:00 PST
If you lost your progress after the latest server restart, just restart the game. It should be fixed.
If you aren't able to reset your character, try going to the initial bedroom and doing all the cinematics again. After picking (for the second time) the starters you should be able to reset.
If you've got to a point where you're softlocked, you can try resetting your character (Settings/Game/Reset character).
We've fixed some issues with the last reset but if you're in a wrong state you'll need to reset.
Don't worry about bug reporting, we're aware of the issues and all of them are related to the problems the server is having.
Restarted the server again. We've made some more fixes that should help with loading times.
If you're stuck entering a battle, restarting the game should get you in the battle (and you won't have to wait for the queue).
We're still working on more fixes!
Server should be back online now. We've made some improvements so everything should be smoother now!
Servers are currently off, we're deploying a new patch. Wait a bit!
Lag and waiting times should be getting better. We're still working on improving everything.
If you're on a black screen, try restarting the game!
We're going to be rebooting the servers several time while we try to allocate the issues.
Thanks for your patience!
We're working on a quick server patch to improve loading times. Hang on a bit!
Stress Test servers are open!
