OTW Networking Test!

[MageLO 184]

Hello everybody,

 

The OTW Test Server is now back online, currently hosting NA West servers, which means testing starts NOW!

We're looking for feedback on stability issues, such as District or World server crashes, as well as the connection quality for our NA players. Let us know if you experience changes in latency to NA West, increased packet loss, or any new issues. We're also working on adding EU Districts soon to gather similar feedback from our EU players.

If you'd like to download OTW and help with testing, you can do so via the following link:

 

OTW Installer

Use your usual login credentials to access OTW and make sure to create your characters on the NA Test World.

 

See you there!

The Mega Drive link wants people to pay out the patootie to finish the download. It said I had to wait 5 HOURS if I wanted to finish it for free. JSYK

Im in Arkansas, no issues lag wise for me. I have noticed that Remote Det is not setting off it's alarm on my car today, for whatever reason. Other than that no glaring issues so far.

Hey, quick question—how will this affect our characters on our accounts? Will we need to create new characters for the testing, or can we use our existing ones? If it's our already made accounts, will they be locked in the test server, or is this just a temporary thing?

you'll need to create new characters and it won't affect your main account

but you can't log in with steam, you gotta log in with your email and password

Well, so far its pretty good I noticed a few things that stood out... like the overall connection stability was pretty solid, with little to no lag in the Financial and Waterfront servers. However, I ran into some serious issues in the Breakwater, the Social District, despite the fact that there weren’t many players around. I usually play with 50 MS and 98 FPS, but when I entered the Social District, my FPS fluctuated wildly—hitting 102 and sometimes even 200 while walking around. The real issues started when I tried using the clothing vendor or walking around the social area; the FPS would tank, and the game would stutter when I hovered over icons or tried to purchase items. It even glitched a few times, causing me to buy the wrong item because I’d accidentally purchase something below the one I intended to click on.

I also tested the WIP Rifling 3, and while it felt more like a semi-burst weapon mod, I experienced some weird issues with it occasionally triple-firing, even when I was using single-shot guns like the sniper or DMR. It could be a bug with the mod or maybe something related to the OBEYR, Huntress, or Reaper, but it was definitely odd. On the plus side, the Waterfront and Financial districts were surprisingly smooth, even smoother than regular APB. No FPS issues there, which was great. Asylum did give me some FPS trouble around the far end of the map by the courtyard and water fountain, but Baylan had no lag whatsoever. All in all, the game ran really well for the handful of hours I played, though the Social District and some of the specific mechanics need a bit of polish as something like that shouldn't crash you as it never did before. I plan to update this later on as I play more, next time I plan to test out the weapons and the test mods.

Read that they'll skip EU OTW so I guess we'll have to wait and see how it all works out.
