Patch Notes Update Gamma 1.01 incoming

[Coyote]

What's happening is just plain incompetence and bad communication

Well, the communication in this case would be "please hold on while we're trying to fix this unexpected outage".

I had people asking me to tell them when I did something that might unexpectedly break things. Of course, they didn't want to be informed about every single thing I did.

There's a bit of a logical issue there.

Welcome to the IT world.

Any solutions?

Yes, but you shouldn't introduce solutions to you PC!

 

[Lunchmoney]

I've been told to check here - https://support.orerve.net for info on the server

Why isn't that more widely advertised?

 

[danjay]

I really hope one of the backers added "smeg" as a station name. Landing at smeg ring would give me lots of laughs

close by to a red dwarf star no doubt....

They have just posted a thread saying that they are aware of the problem and are fixing it.

Made me laugh, nice message, that's as bad as the game server.

Introducing a solution (distilled water with biocide) was the best decision I ever made. Runs quiet AND cool now.

To be fair, it is the game's support site... I would have thought it didn't need much more advertising than that.

Do they get the cleaner to Test and QA on the updates?, might find the issues prior to release.

Belive me (I work in game dev industry) even with good QA those things happen, also there is no way to reproduce hundrets of users hammering down servers, well you might simulate it, but it is will not be the same

Oh yes it...... Tis!

Even it is the game support site, I have not seen Sever status on it, even the known issues page is at least 3 versions out of date.

Though quite a few things so far appeared to be regression issues. That should not happen.

Servers now down for maintenance. Progress, I hope.

yep getting the same

Well it made me giggle

Some of the major issues their updates have had in the past, I don't think they test them on a fresh machine at all, it is all on stuff with masses of workrounds and in house fixes.

back in the game

It should not happen.. yeah it should not... I have seen several times when build was in a good shape and after throwing it online was completely broken

Have you ever played a beta/early release in your life? This happens all the time, get over it.
