(Context: APB AC takes priority over FE - with this out of the way, FE should get more attention)

Till there AC fails and more hackers enter APB then FE is long forgotten again.. its a company of people surely they have there own team for FE cant imagine everyone knows how to do APB like i said 5 weeks ago i'll be going on holiday to spain now in 5 weeks for 5 weeks and i still rekon it wont be back online even after i return on September the 31st.

We are currently focused on getting Classic up and running

EmilyLO — 2025-06-23 13:30

No, I get it. But currently, the biggest focus right now is making sure game is up, that's the biggest priority.

Emily hosted an impromptu Q&A session yesterday at LOs discord channel, reposting questions asked and received answers.

-----

Q: "any eta for fe going online?"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:10

Can't give definitive eta but we are closer then we were

---

Q: "How is the progress on the FE remaster going and when will we get any news on it?"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:10

Focus right now is to make sure Classic is up and running then we can refocus on remastered

 ---

Q: "if our friend, the lag, is caused by the suspected memory leak, there won´t be much hope for less lag, even on better hardware."

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:12

Lag is caused by duplicators, which is why I had to do server restart twice a day, that is something that is urgent to be fixed.

---

Q1: "Will we be able to get a merchant that introduce all marketplace cosmetics ?"

Q2: "Or a merchant for commanders best crafting kit at least? Needed quality of life item"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:14

I'll see what can be done about that there's two options for it

---

Q: "Is there anything we as fans can do to help get FE back online?"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:16

You're going to hate this answer but... be patient

I know it's been down a for a while so that's really a shit answer

---

Q: "A friend from steam asks me if there will be a reset and if the entire game will be launched again in its final state or if it will be launched in parts or maps or something like that. She says it's unplayable if you do the same thing again and it's not worth going back. Greetings emily"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:20

It will be classic again

---

Q: "A few have been inquiring about options to support LOs work on FE, since theres no way to do it now. Will a donation option ever be available for FE classic, or is donation / monetization only going to be available for FE remaster and onwards?"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:25

We had few requests for marketplace to come online, I'm exploring to see if that is feasible

---

Q: "Here, I think I can sum all this up in one question: When FE: Classic comes back up, will there be any changes?"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:26

Currently, no, but I will do my best to see how I can make the game more fun for you guys

To be honest, I tried adding more clothing. It worked in game but if you got closer to me entire game would crash for the person approaching
Will try and see if I can make it work once game is back up

---

Q1: "Would love to if you can add more Deathtoll or AP pistols/shotguns/rifle variations for us PVPers

        DT and AP guns can be augmented, and there isn't that many of such types ingame"

Q2: "How about an augmentable light rifle?"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:30

Let me see if I can solve the mystery of clothing then we can move on from there

---

Q: "Relaying an older notice about FE on Steam for german players: in germany the steam version is not available. Due to a new law the devs need to fill out a form about age restrictions for the steam version to unlock again"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:37

Thank you for that, I will make sure it's updated

---

Q: "Will we ever have the option to "wardrobe" weapons, like how we can do with clothing? Eg: to make equipped ice shards look like shivs and so on? Like a version of this [Wardrobe Slot Unlock: All], but for weapons"

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 14:58

Let me try to get new clothes not break the game

then we go from there

---

Q: "Does it [the remaster] stop there?

Quote

EmilyLO — Vakar 17:46

After thats done obviously we need to continue o.o

The story seems to cut in "to be continued"

[this is 25+ links... no lol]

[CrimsonMask 15]

Incase anyone is interested in spying on the AMA tomorrow (10AM PDT / 5PM UTC):

http://twitch.tv/LittleOrbit

 

[CrimsonMask 15]

A very shory recap of what was said about FE during the AMA for APB:

 

* FE is "days away from being online. Hopefully not weeks". (Old anti-ddos system prevented bringing FE back earlier, fixed now);

* Theyre still working on the remake. Yay;

* Matt is sorry that we are going bonkers with FE withdrawal here for so long;

 

(I wasnt able to watch the AMA stream - ty to johnnynge for clipping and relaying the parts about FE, Hondy and sal_the_Value_Pig for providing and clarifying quotes)

They are a relatively small company dealing with a big pile of dumpster fires (FE, APB had its own moments too, also Unsung Story and STFU) and this year sure wasnt gentle on them xD
Its probably safe to assume that theyre diverting what manpower they have to more essential tasks, at least until they arent swamped so bad. And writing a quick notice on Discord is faster than a more formal post here (for comparison - APB gets more minor updates / news via discord too, mostly the big ones actually reach the forums).
Im also doing this at the expense of my free time. If LO staff spent the past few months working 16hour long days (based on what Matt said at the end of AMA - im assuming most of them are, or FE / APB related staff are at least) - there really isnt that much spare time left for copying text from one site to another.

(dont get me wrong, id prefer that updates be timely and everywhere theyre due, but its likely just not possible given the situation)

[Cheree 5]

hopefully the ama makes it to youtube, where the playback is better. thanks for the update!

[CrimsonMask 15]

APB anticheat patch (along with a content update) has been delayed. No word yet on how it will affect work with FE, but a delay on any kind of progress with FE is likely.

Looks like "days, hopefully not weeks" just turned back into "weeks, hopefully not months".

 

Initial post about the patch
