Basking in that golden shiny light emanating from Chris' bank account? ;)
 
The 5 stages of patch grief:

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Screenshots
It's just a screenshot about the new caves and renderer gen 12 which are part of 3.18 patch (you know, not everyone can't play it).
For the patch, there is only 3 stages for a lot of us :
  • trying to log and can't
  • waiting some days
  • play when it's corrected
For me, I'm today at step 3 and I don't encounter a lot of bugs.
 
Over a week of outage (still ongoing) is indeed spectacularly bad and nothing to sniff at. But I suspect CIG will eventually manage to patch (both literally and figuratively) this disaster. They have no choice. At the very least allowing people to finally log in. I also suspect that will come at a cost: lots of duct tape rushed fixes and unsustainable code that will add to the existing pile of steaming broken code. And thus making SC more and more unstable as new code is added in and break the game in even more numerous and creative ways. Looking forward to the hilarities coming our way!
And make no mistake, they will be thanked by the faithful for providing irrefutable evidence that CIG are indeed saving PC gaming.

As of 7 PM last night, still not even any ETA, just "we're working hard on this". This is one week after a total outage and they can't even estimate when the servers will be fully operational again?

 
"...periodic waves of instability..." ?

LOL

Hey, the waves are trending upward

[2023-03-12] Infrastructure Recovery​



Persistent Universe Electronic Access


Partial Outage

Mar 16, 05:30 UTC

Since the launch of Star Citizen Alpha 3.18.0 our teams have been monitoring a number of issues players have been encountering while attempting to log into the game. These have primarily manifested in the form of 19003 and 19004 with a mix of other similar codes.

While monitoring those issues, the team has been able to tune and make adjustments to the entitlement processing flow to ensure that a large portion of player attempts were still successful and able to make it into the PU.
However, at a point in the early morning UTC, the environment entered into a state which would require a more disruptive recovery process.

As of 1300 UTC on 2023-03-12 the environment has been in the process of recovering from the slow / non-responsive state it was in but we wanted to advise that, while this recovery effort is in-progress, players will experience periods of extreme difficulty getting into the PU. We expect players to see a mix of errors from the 19k, 30k, and 60k ranges.

A more detailed breakdown of each specific issue we're tracking can be found on the the RSI Knowledge Base

[2023-03-12 Updates]
1300 UTC - Environment entered into recovery.
1510 UTC - Initial Notice, recovery in-progress.
1815 UTC - Shards are slowly coming online. Recovery still ongoing.
2000 UTC - Reducing severity of outage, will continue to monitor recovery.

[2023-03-13 Updates]
1130 UTC - Escalating to Major Outage.
The team is working to recover the environment as the Global Database entered a bad state.
1200 UTC - Temporarily disabling Character Repair to protect accounts while recovery is in-progress.
1245 UTC - Environment is accepting new players.
1304 UTC - Character Repair access restored.
1930 UTC - Team is working to mitigate increasing error rates. Character Repair temporarily disabled.

[2023-03-14 Updates]
0350 UTC - Reducing severity to partial outage while we validate the outcome of infrastructure maintenance.


[2023-03-16 Updates]
0530 UTC - While the Live Environment continues to see periodic waves of instability, overall, the new infrastructure is trending in the right direction.

A new build with a series of fixes, based off analysis of the data collected since SC Alpha 3.18.0 went live, is currently being validated by QA.

Additional updates on this subject will be posted here and on spectrum as they become available.

 
Electronic access?

Is there a manual access?
"Persistent Universe Electronic Access"
It implies there is a physical access to the universe. It's probably gated for only high level citizens only though. Maybe that's why they're so loyal, they know the truth, therr's a universe out there, they're just waiting for the other 100 systems to be created.

Everyone enjoying exploring SC's biggest update yet?
Not sure about lasting legacies, but a lot of people sure will remember it.
