Server Crash Imminent?

Could be down to the work on launching Beta, buy my money is on overloaded servers due to all the black Friday sales stuff bringing new players on - I bet they're REAL impressed with the service so far.
Really guys, invest in more server capacity, you clearly need it.

Back playing again to a "mission failed" screen.
Thanks.
I kickstarted an offline game - If you're going to make us play "online only" at least make it f'ing work.

This is pretty g annoying when all I want to play is solo. Give us offline solo play so that solo players are not affected by your obviously gimped servers.

There's over three times as many Steam players than normal right now. Blackfriday sales are doing so well the servers can't keep up.

Usual Sunday evening slowdown. This is the time to get Fallout out!

I really would like to actually know what causes this EVERY Sunday? Still at least me and the wife say hello to each other ;)

Anyone able to get into the game? Launcher still freezes when I press play.

Edit: it works by just waiting it out, launcher unfreezes when it eventually manages to launch the game.

Servers having issues?

Wonder why...

I thought one of the points for using a server farm like Amazon's was that they could add more power when needed. Hardly the greatest sales campaign if you drop the price so lots of users sign up and want to play, so the game is unplayable for everyone, including those new players.

16,209 players are playing through steam as I type this post. There's usually less than 5000...

When I followed Tinman's link, it said it was at the all time peak of 17410

We did scale up a lot of servers. Just that when user spikes happen, the servers and backend tend to burp... a little. :)

I can assure you and the others that the Steam value is far from the total numbers of commanders in game right now - it's a fair lot higher. :D

Buy some Rennies for the hamsters.

Sure. But the game is on sale from FD, too, so we should expect lots extra new CMDRs from there, too.

But thanks for the comment. Of course, the Sunday evening slow down is a fairly regular event. So the server load tuning and balancing still needs work.

I'd be really, really interested to know what the combined peak player count from Steam and Non-Steam is.
Any chance you could share that number with us? Or is it top secret info... :cool:

After being unable to log in (Transaction Server kick within 2sec), tried Solo Mode... and it worked.

Seems Solo Mode is the the least affected by those issues that started creeping in yesterday. At least I can fly around and do stuff, didn't even get HyperJump delay.
