REPOST: additional info about FE from discord (FE UPDATE 2025-08-03)

[CrimsonMask 20]

The game is up, but not for everyone. We sneaked into LO testing it, so for some it doesnt work (afaik - some steam users can log in via steam. but it doesnt work for all. G1 launcher seems to work for most).

 

FE UPDATE, YAY:

Hey @Fallen Earth guys, clearly you have stumbled onto our little secret. During maintenance we put all the servers back online. However, we haven't had a chance to do any QA or testing yet. The servers are NOT open to the public yet. Everyone has been so patient with us over the last couple months. We need a little bit longer to get you guys back to the Wasteland. [1]

This was a big lift during maintenance to get everything organized. Took quite a bit more than we anticipated [2]

MattPScott — 2025-07-24 03:51

We just need another day or two in order to run through everything and make sure all the systems are working [3]

It's been a very long day for me. I need to run. Happy to finally be getting the game back online. [4]

MattPScott — 2025-07-24 03:52

We will look at that issue [steam needing longer to update] as well. Honestly, it shouldnt take any longer than G1 [5]

The team has also been working on restoring the FE marketplace on G1. We got lots of feedback from players that they would like access to some of the items we had available there before. [6]

MattPScott — 2025-07-24 03:56

We will be making public announcements here, on the forums, on Steam and on socials once the game is tested and back online for everyone [7]

MattPScott — 2025-07-24 05:15

FE players are very smart. They realized servers were put back online during maintenance as well. They are still closed to the public while we do a round of testing. We need to make sure all the systems work. But we are close now [8]

MattPScott — 08:10

We will post there [forums] once the servers are actually open. You can post what you like, but they won't be able to login [9]

LO is the best thing that ever happened to FE.

I'm interested in the marketplace. I'm using a steam account to play the game, how do I know if my G1 account is linked to my steam account?

There should be an option in the G1 launcher to "use steam authentication", was at least earlier. That should work if accounts are linked. I think. I dont use steam, but still trying to help.

 

Which ever way you try - the update takes LONG for some, so tab out and let it do its thing for a while.

The G1 launcher might exit after logging in or after completing the update - should work normaly after you relaunch it.

 

If nothing at all works, then i guess thats just how many people are allowed to log in into this.

Hi @Fallen Earth!
I know that some of you have noticed the Fallen Earth server and game are currently online. However, please note that we are still actively testing, and there’s still a lot that needs fixing before we’re ready for a full return. The game is not officially live yet. Once we’re ready to launch officially, we’ll make a clear announcement here and across all our channels. Thank you for your continued patience and support while we work behind the scenes!

Everyone that ninja logged in will be kicked out and no longer be able to login during testing.

We are testing internally, servers are locked

Problem is with them they will lock the server and not be on there testing why not unlock it when the devs have all quit so people can least go on there

Cause:

* we might break something (by accident).

* some that got cancer for brains might take the chance to break something intentionally.

* we might see a broken feature that didnt survive all the host / hardware changes, decide that "omg they changed it to crap, noooooo" and cause a stupid riot over something that isnt even going to happen.

* the game may not be in a playable state when devs quit for the day, easier and faster to just lock us out for a while.

* probably something else too, but cant think of anything more at the moment.

 

FE is gonna be fine, looks like you really might find it up and running after the holiday.

 

Edit: steam charts say that its up, try your luck.

Well, lets try to be a bit more optimistic, i think xD

The game ran insanely well yesterday, probably the best ive seen during my playtime (since 2014). LO is trying, despite all the crap they got this year, yesterday made it seem like theyre on the good track.

Lets just have a bit of faith and support them, cause they really need it lol.

Heck, they deserve it.

I personally would of left the servers on to the public for the weekend as people have waited 6 months of downtime it would have shown a bit of good faith to the community then closed it down for dev work on a monday but i guess LO devs dont think like normal people..

[xavier21282 4]

I am just jazzed I got in like a Ninja hehe, but yes I too noticed the game was playing better than I ever remember it playing by far!

Or theyre gonna dev it during the weekend too x_x

[cowhorseman 451]

Out of boredom i checked. it's downlaod looping so theres atleast something going on. They should have let some of us more trustable players in to help test the server. I.E player strain sector checking making sure nothing wasn't broken or out of place. maybe they will fix the chupa minors i remember the skirt ones spawning bugged out.

 

Maybe we get a special event or some shit for 6 months of this BS, but i doubt it. but letting the end game event before first shut down run for a month would be cool.

Any of the ninjas that got logged on: did it run on Windows 11 with no problems?

Yes it ran great on Windows 11!

[DwightPfeiffer 7]

I gave up on Fallen Earth ever being reborn but I thought I would check anyways because it had been so long and you just never know.

 

OK, so I am going risk further disappointment and plan on my favorite game of all time being resurrected. I will check back at least once a month and hope for the best.

There really isnt any higher power thats forcing anyone to keep playing a dead bad windows 95 game. Treat yourselves to something you find fun and enjoy life. Why torture yourself.

Have some faith, been deader more unplayable games succeed before which people have had to pay to play.
Little orbit are not the Gamersfirst crew that Fallen earth was formerly run by, it will take them time and resources to learn how everything works, iron out the creases and to move on to a more reliable system.
