Hendo Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 As I understand it, it’s not a lack of servers, more that they have dodgy code that is forcing it to do a denial of service on itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Wholly expected, not surprised at all. It’s a good job it’s happening now rather than Day 1 at launch, they have a little time to sort out the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeFour Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Brilliant ? This industry just keeps on giving. Good job I didn't plan on trying it tonight. I may over the weekend if they sort their shit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I managed to play one mission. I was into it. The movement/mechs feel very weighty and has some skill to it. It's very pretty too. The movement in the hub area felt a tad slow tho. I'm going to try and play more tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I'm digging it. Combat loop seems fun and the flying mechanic works well. Looks like there's a lot of scope for tweaking your load out as well. Actually found the dialogue at the end of the first mission pretty amusing as well.

Sly Reflex Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Well this is broken as fuck. I've finished 3 missions but only got the loot for 1 since the game locked me into a infinity loading screen. Each time the game breaks it's on a loading screen. That is potty. I can't actually play the game without rejoining a session I've dropped out of. Because that makes perfect sense. From the little I've played it seems good though. The only really bad thing from the game itself is the walking speed in the hub area. Glaciers have a high top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 As hendo said, this isn't a resourcing or provisioning issue, they will have auto load balancing and auto scaling servers but if you've got dodgy code, sounds like they've not handled concurrency or maybe transience errors, and you are creating hundreds of ddos attacks then there are limits to how much and how quickly you can scale up or out. No matter how you set up, infinite loops like this will eventually grind everything to a halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeFour Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 It's bad enough when you can't get on a game you're excited to play, let alone when it's one you're having nothing to do with also borking your game ? Sorry ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I had the same situation with Max Payne 3. I was trying to play that and there was some sort of GTA release or server test and no one could log in to their bullshit drm client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 This is surprisingly good. I think it might surprise a few people when it hits. I do think they screwed up by not letting you try all the mechs. Locking you into the one is a bad idea, I was pretty happy with the beefy bastard I picked but I could see some being a bit frustrated that the one they decided to try out not being their cuppa.
