Iiits network move season again! Both games are affected. Currently, most info is from APB side, FE isnt getting separate updates yet.

Late announcement: FE now has its own separate official discord channel here. No other news otherwise.

Late announcement, but: FE Xmas event is enabled!

Game is totally fried, most cant log in, and those who do get either an unresponsive game or a disconnect shortly after. A restart was attempted, Frosi (and likely rest of LO) know that it didnt help, and is looking into it. In addition: APB NA server is getting decent packetloss, so might be network related. Again. Poor LO.

Network migration update (applies to FE too):

FE specific info:

LO ran into issues while migrating to the new host, both games are down now.

Network issue update from LO (applies to FE too): Edit: same info was posted by LO here, incase anyone wants to ask questions or share any input. --------------------- If they arent doing something like that already - theres probably reasons for why they cant.

https://www.gamersfirst.com/ is currently down, multiple players have been kicked out of the game and cannot log back in. issue reported to LO on discord.

Matt shared some info about the ongoing network issues:

Heavy lag + disconnects in FE right now. Looks like APB is having the similar issues. Emily is pinged.

Game is back up!

FE is currently down (and has been for close to 12 hours now afaik), LO is pinged, no info about possible uptime yet. ------------------------- Forwarded this to discord, incase noone replies here (i dont use Steam, so no idea myself).

Looks like the marketplace is back! We also finally have a backpack for our chars again!

Wednesday, at about 1 pm CST USA everyone is invited to a 3 day event, hosted by Kindred! It is a 3 day event, with each part lasting about 1-2 hours: * Day 1 is scavenger hunt. * Day 2 is bike ride to PT. * Day 3 is a PT blowout defense. Yes, there will be prizes! Event is mostly geared towards newer players but everyone welcome!

Edit: Halloween Skitter event is running! Corrected waypoints for some of the quests here

Kingman View subsector has likely crashed - avoid going there to not get your chars stuck in limbo.

The game is mostly the same it was back in 2014, if that helps, just no marketplace, and no reward points. From what i know right now - its safe to say the AMA will be APB centered. I asked about one for FE too, but didnt get anything concrete [2nd quote here]. But there is a real posibility of getting FE info during APBs lucky day, especially since knowing FE players - there will be at least a few lurking there and asking about FE all the time. Whatever FE related info gets dropped on discord and not reposted to the forums by LO themselves - ill put it here.

I reposted this, since it confirms the AMA being next week - the AMA itself will be APB centered, and the mentioned gun and events are for APB. The rest of us over at discord are expecting / hoping for FE info during it or shortly after it, since FE barely got anything this year. (Ill edit the original message for clarity)

AMA for APB: no set date yet. Date&links will be added when LO shares them, since theres still chances of FE related info in it.

Somewhat of an update Seems like APB should get another AMA this year: Regarding FE / Remake: Id like to think this implies that FE will either get some air time during APBs AMA, or that we will get a separate one for FE too.

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.
