This is completely unplayable and weve wasted an hr just trying to login. All the bugs of the old engine rearing their heads at once. Wasn't the beta for this reason specifically? Weren't the servers available only 30 minutes ago? Didn't you expect this specific thing happening? Didn't get past the login screen, but how many old bugs did you manage to spot? I'll wait as long as necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today. It won't be any better next week either so a short delay like that is pointless. Everyone was waiting for this so canceling it is far from what to do.

Inf loading screen bug, login bug, failing to connect to the server. These are all old bugs weve commonly had to deal with on the old servers over the years.

Matt has also said its been fixed I'm no expert, but so many times servers have been boggled for any game when something new opens up. It's so many new players with their 'new' characters trying to log in at the same time that it's really choking it out. You could blame any game for it and since it boils down to servers having to handle all this increased traffic, I'd call it all the same issue. It's simply that at some points the server lets you get further to see a new error, but gets choked out again in the middle of your steps. Don't know, but sounds like the same issue. We're not even play-testing it, we're stress-testing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For APB its more then just something new opening. 1 minute ago, Comnoter said: he hasn't said anything about it being completely fixed He said the connection issues were fixed, which clearly they arent if many ppl are still getting disconnected after char selection and it can count for the inf loading screen as well since I think tech you lost connection to the server if you get stuck in it.

EXCIDIVM 2 Posted June 27, 2020 Just reporting that I still cannot get past character selection. "Error disconnected" after selecting a character and waiting for a few minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanilleKeks 737 Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) For future reference I don't recommend attempting to copy a database of chars on the same day as the playtest. Copying the chars should have been done seperately by letting people log into the char select, but not enter districts.

Servers will be back online by noon PDT. We are fixing a technical issue with the Login servers caused by copying the characters of many players to the Beta. -Matt This the last thing he has said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the chars are mostly copied in already, its just more background stuff thats being done upon login however LO should have anticipated this mass login and had prepared for it. The fact they didnt is abit troubling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashn 40 Posted June 27, 2020 So.. we have 3 hours to test another 1 hour added, What about those who cannot get in to test.. they will be loosing the 3-4 hour experiance which kinda sucks.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hlebka 5 Posted June 27, 2020 Just now, Comnoter said: nah it's not a small portion of people trying to get in. APB has 1200 current players. Let's say 700 are playing the beta.. I don't think 700 players is a big number.. There are a lot more games where beta was played without a problem with 100+ thousand concurrent players. Things like this should've been expected, APB is not one of those games with large population Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
