  1. A couple minutes ago, fast travel wasn't working for me. I also heard some other people saying their's wasn't working earlier in the day. After about 5-15 minutes, everything goes back to normal and everything works with no lag. Might be every few hours it happens. Its definitely some type of extended lag spike. If you relog during this time, that's when people have no character selection. When the "temporary lag" subsides, everything is fine with that also. Edit - it's working good now, a few minutes later. No lag at all and everything is working properly. It was right around 1:42 Am EST, I'm not sure if you can go back and check any logs to see why this might be happening though. Edit - Also happening now around 2:42 AM fast travel not working. 2:56 fast travel is working again, but chat is a little slow. Someone else said they're still lagging though, so it might filter out through different parts of the world at different times.
  2. I'd like to know too please. Could I wait a few months if I wanted to, then redeem it? Thank you very much Matt and everyone on the FE team.
  3. Absolutely no problems playing at all yesterday except a an hour or 2 before I shut the game off. I had the game running about 8 hours straight, then another 3-4 later at night. I experienced slight lag (it was mainly chat showing up 3-4 seconds later), but during that same time my internet was being used by a few other devices. I also never cleared the "in game browser cache". Logged in a couple minutes ago and everything loaded nice and quick. No lag.
  4. Everything looks good so far. Character loaded in quick, fast travel is good, no lag when gettin my vehicle from the garage. Even the PC updater to login seems faster. Nice work :)
  5. So half an hour from now. Sounds good, thanks
  6. lol ya I know, it also depends how many people play, the size of the game, items, etc.
  7. That's not bad. I think I've seen 1-2 hours a couple times, so I wasn't sure if that was the average. Some games I've played over the years took 15 minutes up to 4-5 hours
  8. How long is the "normal maintenance" anyways?
  9. if it does start to lag, I'm trying to see how often it happens. If there's a pattern for the time, like every 5 minutes, every hour, 4 hours etc. I was going to keep updating that particular post as I play Edit - As of 8:20 Am EST, everything seems to be working good. Couple small things like a 1-2 nodes not disappearing, and auto-loot popup screen slightly lagging every once in a while, but that's about it.
  10. 4:26 Am EST First Login attempt - No problems. Characters took approximately 3-5 seconds to load. Lag - None Items, gear, weapons - Intact Chips - Intact Mailbox - Still missing "first purchase" items, but I have a ticket submitted. This happened during "extended maintenance" Mailbox - Possible timestamp issue? The mail I have, that said 2 days ago, still says 2 days ago. When the server was taken offline back on 5/9 the "game time" completely stops? Is this working properly, or should the mail from 2 days ago now be at "6 days ago"? ---------------------------------- 4:42 Am Fast travel - No problem Garage manager - No problem ---------------------------------------- 4:51 Am Chat - Slight lag approximately 1 second delay ------------------------------------------------- 4:55 Am Scavenging items - Misplaced antibiotics bugged. Node is still there after looting. The Northfields Expanse x4925717 y5733053 ------------------------- 5:00 Am Fast travel - No problem Garage Manager - no problem ------------------------------------ 5:07 Am Player said they were lagging and relogged - No problem ------------------------------------------------- 5:19 Am Scavenging items - Misplaced antibiotics bugged. Node is still there after looting. The Northfields Expanse x4919565 y5722534 --------------------- 5:23 Am Garage manager - no problem Fast travel - no problem --------------------------- 5:28 Am Player2 said - Problems with Nodes not disappearing after scavenging. Happening off and on over the last 2 hours. --------------------- --------------------- 5:48 Am Nodes not disappearing happens at the same time garage manager lags a bit also --------------------------- 5:56 Am Node not disappearing. Doesn't disappear from map or minimap either. ----------------- 6:12 Am Relogged - No problem at character selection or loading in. Relog - spawned in at New flagstaff instead of beside my ATV near Blaine? Ran back to my ATV to test the relog again. Worked fine that time, I was still at my ATV ---------------------- 6:23 Am Node not disappearing 6:25 Am Node not disappearing 6:28 Am Node not disappearing Some do, some don't, 3 different types so far, doesn't seem to be the nodes themselves. Leaning towards "random lag spike" ---------------------------- 6:38 Am Fast travel - no problem Garage - no problem Relogged - First time I ever saw a 20 second countdown "popup" before logging out, usually instant. The relog itself worked fine. Done testing for now.
  11. Already did, that's why I'm waiting for it to go back online lol
  12. Next update should be pretty soon, it's been over 7 hours (almost 82 total)
  13. I know, but I'd rather be waiting 5 minutes for my character to show up at the login screen, than 3 days waiting to login.
  14. why not....... just play on the shaky server for the next couple months WITH all the problems it has, while theyre switching everything over to Unity and be done with it? no more down time for a week at a time, but you gotta deal with bad logins and lag etc the more people complain about how the game runs now, the more down time trying to fix it, which means the less time they have to work on getting it moved to the newer stuff (Unity) , updates, maybe expansions
  15. Thanks for the update, hows it looking so far?
  16. Count me in if needed also, got about 20 years of Hobby bug testing. Couple games I've helped, Vantage - A Prehistoric Simulation Neo Scavenger Cataclysm DDA Nodiatis A Drow's Life (Also wrote a walkthrough for this) Atomiclick Even made a couple small games of my own, but they were on RPGmaker for Playstation. Edit - If you removed all the characters that haven't been logged in, in the last year or 2, that would free up quite a bit of space. You may want to keep the characters that people made purchases on, because some people come back every so often just to pvp etc.
  17. Thanks for the update. Too bad it wasn't better news, but hopefully everything goes smoothly for you guys this time around. Can I get an offline version to play while you guys are working on the main game?
  18. I'm suprised a couple of you agreed with some of the changes I thought of. Since I never actually expected any of my suggestions to happen, I made the game even harder for myself instead. I took everything out of my vaults and any other mounts and now I keep all of my items either in my inventory, or on my vehicle. Basically living off the land and being a hermit or nomad lol. If you see me driving around, ask in Local chat if I have anything for sale or trade. We can set up shop and barter over a couple items out in the field. Have fun guys
  19. I just got up a couple minutes ago. How's everything going with you guys? Guess I'm going to hang out around here or over on the Discord site a bit, while playing some crappy games until this awesome game comes back online. A few miles from my house up on the hillside is a big strip of coal. Part of me wants to go over and take a hammer to it. (serious) I take stuff to the recycling yard down the road sometimes, so I really do drive around looking for "scrap steel, copper, aluminum, etc" once in a while lol Matt, don't forget that you can use a program like HXD and look at everything in Hex form. You should be able to check everything oldschool "row by row" if you needed. I used that a couple times while helping some people bug fix their games over the years. Good luck.
  20. I remember playing this game years ago and I had a lot of problems with lag and disconnecting. I didn't know who the company was at the time, I just liked playing the game. I got back into playing it about 2 weeks ago ( a few days before the extended maintenance) and even with all the maintenance that's been going on, all I can say is one thing. Atleast The new company (Little Orbit) Is slowly fixing any problems that are in the game from back then and updating it so that the people who want to play it, CAN still play it. So I say thank you very much to everyone on the team, that is working to make this game better than it was before and also the people that play the game.
  21. Do what you need to do and take the time to do it properly. If it takes a couple more hours to get rid of the problems we've been having lately, that'll be great.
  22. dang, still getting Alec Masters Initializing
  23. Last night my ATV vanished while I was riding on it and I had to walk to the nearest Garage. I had to tow it to the location. Gladly it was still there. Earlier today, I was trying to use the Fast Travel and it wouldnt let me, then It wouldnt load my characters. A bit later I noticed my crafting window where it shows active or finished was empty. After relogging, my crafting window was fixed. I just got the fast travel error a minute ago and now it shows (Alec Masters Initializing) and I am unable to login the game. I tried defragment and check the files, that didnt help. Edit - Every once in a while when I hit the "Launch" button, I will get an "error initalizing engine" V3D_init failed: No devices avaliable! I can force this to happen if I hit the "launch" button, then ctrl+alt+delete to open my taskmanager, just to add more information to this. I am now back in the game approximately 12 minutes later
