FE launcher / updater / whatever was bugged for most of the day and required a bypass to be able to play. Game is down for maint now. Edit: its back, issues ^ fixed.

No, but the launcher was bugged for most of the day and required a bypass to be able to play. It is down for maint now. The bypass: If youre using the G1 launcher - open FE install location and type "frontend LOGGEDIN=TRUE PASSWORD=" into the address bar, hit ENTER. If youre using Steam - same, but with "frontend LOGGEDIN=TRUE PASSWORD= STEAM=TRUE".

This applies to recent issues with FE too:

Emily is pinged on discord (no response yet), yes - there are more player complaints about it there.

At least some players are finding char select screen completely empty after todays maintenance. LO is pinged, waiting for a response. Edit: some ran into this after crashing / relogging. If anyone is still ingame - LA and Embry regions might be dead, avoid going there. Edit2: Emily is here, server is being restarted again. Edit3: issue should be resolved.

FE went down for maintenance about 4 hours ago, and currently is still down. According to Emily, LO is also attempting some changes to make it run smoother for us. Edit: its up!

Server should be down for maint right about now.

Server should go down for maint any minute now. Edit: its UP!

Server is back UP!

Info relayed to Emily, shouldnt take much longer from now.

At times - it runs well for a few hours and then rapidly goes to crap. Other times theres minimal, but noticeable, lag right after a restart - this isnt normal. Some are thinking that the last restarts are done improperly (e.g. not all processes actually get restarted), also Emily has been very quiet lately, so its a real posibility that someone else took over doing them for a while, and things arent working out the way they should. Current status - the server gave up and went for a nap xD LO is notified again.

No restart for about 48 hours now afaik. Likely time for a ping. (Ping done, now we wait)

Server is back up!

Late reply, but it went down for a restart about an hour ago, no ETA on uptime.

Server has been restarted, issues should be gone now.
