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.

then let it go

Quite heavy lag in FE for the past few days. Westreach subsector, S1, (Odenville, Midway, surrounding area southwest of Embry), is dead, those that have characters left there are unable to log into them. Any unsuspecting new player that tries out the game eventually wanders into the dead subsector, since it basicaly cuts off the starter area from the next big player hub (Embry). The server hasnt received a much needed restart since friday. Its bleeding out players. Players that would have otherwise stayed for both classic and the eventual remake. Customers. Please, just restart the server, while there still is a playerbase. @Emily @MattScott @KattieeFluff

Wrong game, welcome to the FE part of the forum. APB section is here: https://forums.gamersfirst.com/forum/10-bugs-and-tech-issues/ Youd likely get more info from LOs discord channel: https://discord.gg/littleorbit Or maybe even by emailing support: support@littleorbit.com

There really isnt any higher power thats forcing anyone to keep playing a dead bad windows 95 game. Treat yourselves to something you find fun and enjoy life. Why torture yourself.

Or theyre gonna dev it during the weekend too x_x

Well, lets try to be a bit more optimistic, i think xD The game ran insanely well yesterday, probably the best ive seen during my playtime (since 2014). LO is trying, despite all the crap they got this year, yesterday made it seem like theyre on the good track. Lets just have a bit of faith and support them, cause they really need it lol. Heck, they deserve it.

Cause: * we might break something (by accident). * some that got cancer for brains might take the chance to break something intentionally. * we might see a broken feature that didnt survive all the host / hardware changes, decide that "omg they changed it to crap, noooooo" and cause a stupid riot over something that isnt even going to happen. * the game may not be in a playable state when devs quit for the day, easier and faster to just lock us out for a while. * probably something else too, but cant think of anything more at the moment. FE is gonna be fine, looks like you really might find it up and running after the holiday. Edit: steam charts say that its up, try your luck.

Nah, seems like everyone got kicked, LO switched back to internal testing. ----- Info:

There should be an option in the G1 launcher to "use steam authentication", was at least earlier. That should work if accounts are linked. I think. I dont use steam, but still trying to help. Which ever way you try - the update takes LONG for some, so tab out and let it do its thing for a while. The G1 launcher might exit after logging in or after completing the update - should work normaly after you relaunch it. If nothing at all works, then i guess thats just how many people are allowed to log in into this.

The game is up, but not for everyone. We sneaked into LO testing it, so for some it doesnt work (afaik - some steam users can log in via steam. but it doesnt work for all. G1 launcher seems to work for most). FE UPDATE, YAY: LO is the best thing that ever happened to FE.

Have a nice trip! And yea, you are quite likely right xD ----- LO may be moving their EU data center again: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Bonus: regarding progress with the anticheat: [8] [9]

A wild Matt was sighted in the FE section of LOs discord: Link

Oh, i get that. Playerbase size and marketplace revenue played a big role in their decisions. APBs was a few hundred when LO bought out both games, FEs was a lot smaller. Naturally, APB seemed more reliable to prioritize. In an ideal world, we would already have the remake to play, and new content for it. In this one, we have to wait it out just for classic. The anticheat is right above FE in priority, its just a very annoying wait, especially when it seems like the game is so close now.
