Well....I'm on my 3 PC since 2012, by the time it's released AI will be ruling the world, welcome to Skynet 2.0

At one point Berks says that the ship translation motion (ref to the rotation planetary grid) that can be seen as he moves back and forth grids is proof of server meshing. It is not, it is proof of separate reference grids transition though. That is all. Change of server would probably require a bit more of under the hood evidence that the game can not really show there, other than an ID. Maybe the player list?
Has anyone tried to test this in Live?
If there were noticeable overall system stability and performance improvements that could also be indeed a good symptom that multiple servers are sharing the load etc, alas at the moment things are even more borked than before.
To reiterate, the only thing that can be ascertained/verified in this kind of tests is the interface between reference grids that exist for different parts of the star system. But, from what other players are saying, those existed already before server meshing. The only actual "proof" that there is another server at the moment is that an ID code changes in the text log.
Back to what happens in the video the target players is invisible to Berks right? Then they go into trying to damage a ship engine, Berks can not seem to see hs buddy shooting anyways. And then the server(s) seem to crash and his buddy remains stuck

Yeah it's a shame the other player got disconnected / the server choked up just after that. They were just trying to check whether they saw damage to the engine in sync.
(I'm guessing that twitch he gets whenever he's near the boundary is just the minimal motion difference at the pole? It's always the same rotation nudge. The drift seen in the ship's server is always gently to the side etc)

Yeah, my point is that all those things Berks is showing is just reference grid related stuff that was already happening in Live. It is not proof of server meshing, just of separate reference grids. In fact some viewers were trying to point that out to him in chat.
I doubt they're faking it on the multiple server approach. The modern miracle of 'servers handing over authority' is something that they need to achieve within 2 decades
But yeah most of what he's talking about is purely physics grid stuff as I understand it, and pre-exists. They'd just never hang out on that border normally. (It's also not a particularly great thing)

For sure, there seems to be quiet a lot of anecdotal evidence of the multiple server approach. Most notably the extremely highted instability and crashes. What I mean is that, that approach, the "server handover" etc may be unrelated to, or simply not working in, some of those grid transitions tests we see. We have zero idea what CIG has done. All we can see so far is more crashes, instability and an ID change

All we need now is for Authority ID to actually be the ID for the physics grid in effect at a location - and no-one to have actually been testing the server mashing at all
The client means nothing, Citizen. Real gameplay takes place in the store!
Ha ha.
Hey, did you not post this and I laughed at this before recently? Dunno.
the hype over server meshing did get me to look up the tech architecture of new world. so much for never done before..... 
wonder if aws is helping them at all.....

While we're on the server meshing and "never done before" theme...

At the end of this 12 months, players will have all they were promised, and more! Except the games of course :D

can you imagine playing nothing but sc for the past 10 years???
Can't imagine playing any game almost exclusively for 10 years, let alone a buggy unreleased one.
Also, lol @ "I don't want to see it to attempt to become something it can't be..." - i mean, that's literally SC from the day they started adding stretch goals.
It's likely the first game in his life.can you imagine playing nothing but sc for the past 10 years???
It'd be easy if they knew where the boundaries are. There just never was one, just one server and a star system. If there are actually any boundaries.
But in space what's the point of that anyway? You wanna make huge bpundaries where everything can go wrong? Better to hide them.
