Extended Server Maintenance

[NotZombieBiscuit 2915]

I bet most of the people complaining in this thread were not even going to play APB anyway.

 

And anyone that actually was and is complaining, do you not have other games to play?

Hi all,

 

We are getting closer.

The databases are all restored.

The network team has been working for 72 hours straight now.
The main issue now is some bad hardware that had to be replaced.

 

I hate to throw out dates, but I feel like you have all been in limbo too long.

So if I had to start making some guesses, here is how I think the various platforms will come online:

PS4 and PC NA  = midnight tonight Pacific time

XB1, PS4, and PC EU = early morning (7am-ish) tomorrow Pacific time

 

A couple caveats:

We are missing some network equipment and a bunch of district boxes that got stuck in customs for the new EU datacenter.
This means all of EU will be temporarily running on districts in New York for a couple days till we get the new EU location online properly.

And all platforms will be running Financial and Waterfront with no threat segregation for a couple days.

Sorry,

Matt

Thanks a lot for the work the team is doing to ensure the game will run on all four cylinders in the future. I'm going to buy stuff on Armas the second the game comes back online as a token of gratitude.

Apparently all they play is APB.. and most people here complain just to complain or they want attention *yawn*

I feel like checking game status should not be this complicated.

 

Error 9?

 

I am working on a knitting project.

Use https://will.io/apb/ to check whether the servers are live or not in real time. Not sure if it's working proprely after the server transition but if it's emulating an APB client it should be fine.

I've read this. We want specifics... They didn't even announce a server shutdown on forums. the game has been down for hours and hours.

if they took the time to give a play by play like a sports game then nothing could get done.

Hi all,

 

The team is troubleshooting an issue with connecting new district servers to the existing worlds.

We're close, but I don't think the PC, XB1, or PS4 environments for North America will be ready for another couple hours.

 

Thanks,
Matt

I am still happy to hopefully come home to relax with APB (Ps am fro Citadel so itll probably be up at 4pm my time)

[safdfsgkjhdgsjkhs 104]

@MattScott buy your IT guys some Bustello espresso that will help them fix this prob way faster.

3 days without APB is too much, maybe at least give the jokers as compensation?

Blue Lagoon, u mean?

[Leviticus 10]

been playing this game since 2008.. i can be patient, i can wait a little longer its ok.. i got this, we have been here before. 

 

[Nagletz 116]

Tbh no compensation can compensate my vacation in real life... i guess that's just my luck. So i just started drinking like an alcoholic lol. Actually.... i didn't wanted to make some kills, but symbols, yeah. I am a little frustrated, but that's ok. 

Anyway, i'm interested in threat segregation more. What does it means to me? Harder matches, i think. Silver district's hackers involved, i think. Or more fun? Doesn't matter? Lol, yes.

I think it is more possible that the 'weirdo' part was always there, it just makes its way to the forum more when the game goes down.
