Wayfinder Dev Tracker

Sure. We have a ton of data at our disposal and we are constantly looking at it. it’s a balancing act of loading in more players and keeping those servers stable. When we operated above 10K on one day (i don’t even remember at this point) we were seeing way disconnects, more disruptions, more crashed servers and more player issues than a previous baseline of 10k that showed minimal disruptions. yes players still had issues thats’ the nature of the beast but it was far lower at this capacity due to how the database was talking to the game server which was talking to login servers which was talking to authentication etc etc.

In order to make the game more stable to the vast majority of players we adjusted them down to 10k.

That’s actually not what we said at all.

We said we’re currently stable at 10k users, and the cause of our instability was when it was higher.

I explained this multiple times when people demanded we give them a capacity number, that the total capacity wasn’t the issue here, it was a scaling problem and a number was irrelevant. People pressed at it, and since we’re transparent and open we released the full info (below) but now once again people believe that we are at a hard cap.

We even shared the graph on twitter to show how it was scaling and failing a lot and now we have to solve the software issues we are having.

Graph: ...

You spammed nonstop in discord and when I asked you to stop and DM me directly if you felt we were not doing something and you felt you wanted to give us that feedback. You did not DM me.

We will be changing these prices, and grant anyone that bought them the difference. Read this for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayWayfinder/comments/15ux4u3/an_update_from_airship_syndicate_and_digital/

Currently the queue is working for most people. We realize that there is a bug that when you get to the front of the queue it doesn't load into the game. I realize that there is a lot of chatter about this, but it's a low percentage of players (but they're still equally important) so our team is investigating while we're scaling up our database so I don't have an answer at this time.

We did not set the price, but we should have caught that it felt bad and given our feedback so we take ownership for it.

An update from Airship Syndicate and Digital Extremes

Yesterday sucked. There is no other way to say it. It sucked for people who purchased Founder’s Packs and couldn’t play, and it sucked for us to see players unable to get into the game after believing in us and our vision.

Early Access isn’t a crutch. It’s a conversation between a studio and the community that’s helping build the game alongside the studio. We said from the start that we’d be transparent and open with the community and that continues now that we have players entrusting us with their money, and us failing to deliver.

Servers and Login

Although we ran technical tests and betas across multiple regions, we were seeing more players every minute than played in our Beta each day. Although we had a queue system ready, that system failed immediately. We quickly implemented numerous fixes to try and stabilize the login experience and those fail...

The servers are for more than 100 people, but not where we want or need them. A queue allows you to actually press a button and get into line to play vs just a random chance of hitting play over and over with no indication of what's happening.

We will be changing it.

This morning our team recently took down the servers to implement various fixes, including fixing the login queue that did not function as intended last night. We are currently in the process of rolling out the remaining changes and getting the queue back in place and removing the "Maximum players" message that you were seeing. We also mentioned that today we'd be posting a larger message to the community and we plan to cover the following topics:

Servers and login issues
Founder's Pack items being missing
Monetization / Rune silver bundle prices
Player Compensation

We are deploying server fixes. Stay tuned to our Discord and socials for updates.

We have no gacha or loot boxes planned.

Yes, crossplay will be live.

For the last few days our crew at Airship Syndicate, Digital Extremes, and our partners have worked nonstop to bring Wayfinder’s Early Access over the finish line. This was no small feat as it requires a lot of people, a lot of coordination, and a lot of communication.

PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Steam will all go on sale, and launch simultaneously TOMORROW August 17, at 12:00 PM C.T.

We’ll see you in Evenor.

It supports FSR 2.2

Yes. No.

We're working out butts off to try and make that happen. No promises, but we'll post an update later today to our Discord on where we are.
