It's Going Down- 19 DEC 2024 Server Reset Watch Thread

[KingDrax]

Righto, I'll put the kettle on, who'd like a drink?

Mine's a black coffee, please

Nearly an hour over time...

Perhaps the hamsters were killed in the Titan blast?

I refuse to believe that!
The blast occurred above British Columbia, the hamsters were safe
There must be a conspiracy, here!

 

[Angus McSix]

So many squads with carefully timed expansions-retreats to avoid diplomatic issues.... and no idea how everything is going to fire off once FDev provides resolution.

Gonna be a bonfire.

It's cute that you think a resolution is going to be provided.

Orange sidewinder/ Darn! I was hoping for an Ivory Cobra. They sound so much posher!

I've had both messages in the last 10 mins. Do I get a chufty badge?

 

[Iamthequinn]

Am in now.

 

[Ralph Vargr]

OK, I'm in now, and the Galmap is sluggish.

It'll probably settle down soon as the bulk of players pile back in and the load dies down.

PP players checking to see if their target system has turned.

BGS players checking to see if their planned system expansion has finally fired

Titan parts scavengers flocking to Sol.

It's going to be a longer than expected maintenance window

All working for me now...

 

[Rubbernuke]

So, whos grown eight legs and sharp fangs?

"Darn... it worked in testing"

Rule #1: Things that must go into installation tomorrow always work 100% when testing in the lab, but never in the installation. Especially if "tomorrow" is Friday. Especially especially if the client needs the Thing for an important event on Saturday.

Rule #2: Things in installation that are broken never exhibit a single fault when testing in the lab, but stop working as soon as they're put back into the installation. Especially on Fridays.

Rule #3: After two days of troubleshooting you get through to the mfg support and they just go "Oh, yeah, we're aware of that bug, firmware update is Coming Soon™/we're moving servers that the Thing relies on/we've been hacked. Sorry for the inconvenience!"

FDev would like to assure players that no elephants were harmed in the making of the Ivory Cobra error message.

 

[Planewalker]

And the evacuation notice is gone...

(and the smoke, sparks etc!)

The audio is still there tho, so i guess we are at "half alert". XD

 

[Uname654]

No, it didn't. Nothing ever works in testing. And they push it out, anyway. Ten years it's been like this, why change now?

Testing = It compiles... going live... oops.

 

[Uname654]

It's the 50 gigabyte Christmas tree update.
I want... no, I need flying reindeer in space!

Have they tried turning the galaxy off and on again?

FC frozen cargo bug seems to be fixed. Happy days.

Gods I hope so. Thought it was fixed last night cos none of it was greyed out; but all that lovely plat'num stayed stubbornly in my carrier, despite saying it had moved!

 

[Moirai]

So, am I to assume that, so far, there are no story related additions or changes in evidence?

At work, so can't check myself.

I think it is. The UI falsely reporting moved cargo is a separate older bug. Still have to check your ship's cargo hold before leaving the carrier.
