You can buy your own Supergates and if you want put your own image on it.
Other than that I did some Config fixes and keep working on finalizing the current season like activating all Events etc.
Nevertheless I also try to take a bit of a break from everything… as good as I can.
It was an insane patch with a lot of troubles. Thanks a lot for your patience and enduring this.
many got stuck in ‘Proto Station’ the last weeks due to connection issues or broken playfields. All connected to some game bugs.
For those ones we implemented two new commands:
cb:EWarp
cb:EWarpECC
These help you to get back to your last location, or at least to ECC. So no one should be stuck in ‘Proto Station’ anymore. Thats a symptom fix, but at least helps you while no Admin/Police is online to help. We still try to help the devs to find the root issue though.
Also some can not login anymore due to a game bug. For now the @HWS Police can help you in those cases, warping you to a new location and fixing your player file through it. In near future we also plan to implement a function to fix it yourselves over HWS Connect.
Lets hope those problems are history soon!
Please spread the word
After a painful week of massive Forum tickets => Player in Proto Space, because playfields were “dead” (e.g. Freelancer HQ), we finally found the reason!
There were a hardcoded limit which killed a playfield and everything within the process if it would take more than 10 seconds to load. For the full life cycle (hence sometimes it worked after a server restart and sometimes not)
Hardcoded limits are never good… we had times over 20 seconds regular…
Good News: this discovery helped Eleon to fix it. Patch incoming soon.
I’m hunting the Disconnect Popup spam bug now. After that I try to take a break…
Oops. Sorry I missed this message. This was on the NA server. But it’s a moot point… we’re in S13 now and everythings working smooth. Thankfully they bumped the player slots from 70 to 170 so no more waiting to get in either.
