Server instability megathread
Comments
Not a complete solution, but if world select is broken, click "quit game" and it'l take you back to region select and if you go back to world select from there, it sometimes fixes that problem. (Less time than having to close and reopen the client.)
While I can't say I know how complicated/intricate the whole MS program/code is, as CS major, I'd assume there's some parts you just don't touch when your updating/doing maintenance. Like here's an example, if you're changing ig ui's why does it affect something in world + character select? Those should in different classes/function and have little to impact on each other.
The other reason most people are angry/upset over the last few strings of unscheduled maintenance, the description each time more or less says "making back end changes to help with stability + connectivity" (like we've had 3/4 I think?) and yet the servers are in hardly any better shape and the only thing we see is just more downtime with either no improvement or even worse conditions, almost like they are just randomly changing stuff and "hoping" it helps the problem instead of actually sitting down and thinking a bit about what to change before changing it. In my case, between the Sep.8th night (pst) maintenence and the one before it, I was able to log on, AH/CS/ML, and cc moderately okay, but after that maintenance, I almost always blackscreen going in and going out of AH/CS/ML and sometimes take more than 3 attempts before client just stalls in character select.
My guess would be they were trying to isolate the issue. Which I assume they havent figured out exactly what is causing them. At this point we can rule out the DDoS theory.
Thanks, but I launch the game from steam instead of using that abomination they call the 'Nexon Launcher' and that doesn't take me to the region select page. I'll just stay off the game for now.
Should try searching forum/google to see if someone had similar error instead of creating a duplicate thread.
Sad thing is after the maint~ yesterday at GRAZED we're still crashing.
What the title reminded me of
I'd say that's pretty spot on. As you said, ems merged players aren't suffering the same issues (which counts out patch related issues). I also feel that once I login and stay in a map, I don't have any issues as long as there is nothing happening which requires a refresh or a network ping. I was able to fully solo Damien without any major latency related issues, farm nodes for quite some time. The issues happen whenever I goto CS/AH/change channel/private channel(frito/pollo/inf wolf) and on occasion try to goto a different map via tele/portal.
