Server Restart Changelog

  • per request I enhanced the HWS Logistics Feature to support another naming syntax.

Before it was:
Prefix + Key + Index (Example: Iron Ingot HWSBOX1 / Iron Ingot HWSLCD1)

Now you can also do:
Key + Index + Suffix (Example: HWSBOX1 Iron Ingot / HWSLCD1 Iron Ingot)

:warning: Limitations:

  • you can NOT color code the key in this new variation. For example [ff0000]HWSBOX1 Iron Ingot does NOT work. HWSBOX1 [ff0000]Iron Ingot do though.
  • there needs to be a space between key+index and suffix

HWS Connect Changelog (for all servers)

  • fixed a critical DB index issue for our whole epm api infrastructure. It consumed 60-100% CPU since weeks. With the fix we are down under 10%.
    Sometimes stuff like that is discovered only after many years, randomly :see_no_evil_monkey:
    TL;DR: HWS Connect should be in certain request cases butter smooth now (check if you are online, Marketplace, Stimpack, etc.)

HWS Connect Changelog (for all servers)

  • finally fixed the PTD (Personal Teleport Device) in HWS Connect > Universe. The Playfield Data of RE is end of a season too big (hundreds of MB big file, where the browser says: nope, 500 err). You can use it again to teleport for a certain fee to ECC EGS HQ directly.

HWS Connect Changelog (for all servers)

  • a new feature got added! “Favorite Playfields”:
    Requested here: Discord but on my TODO list for some time more or less.
    The idea and how it works:
    The ingame registry can get crowded after some time, there is no search, no notes.
    In HWS Connect you have all of that now, but since we have currently 403.000+ playfields created on RE EU and RE NA, we can’t crawl all playfield data since it crashes the web browser. We also can’t use your ingame registry, since the global.db is over 5GB big.
    Which means I had to implement it in a “lite” version.

How it works

  1. Visit any playfield you want
  2. Then go to HWS Connect and click on HWS Universe and open the Favorite Playfields. The playfield you are currently in, will be listed in the table.
  3. You can then click on the :star: icon to permanently save it on your own HWS Connect database and set personal notes to it.

That’s it. Over time you have then a way to manage your visited playfields. It’s just important that you remember to visit HWS Connect any time you visited a favorite playfield.

Let me know your feedback :victory_hand:

HWS Connect Changelog (for all servers)

I’m proud to announce that we had an unexpected Audit of our web services the last days. Very well spent couple of hundreds Euros.
HWS Connect Version 2 is running since 6 years, 24/7 and the responsibility is very high that the API and everything related to that is secure and you can trust it.
There were 1 big issue and 2 small ones found and fixed within 12 hours by Hayawen. Another one regarding the game API itself, something Eleon unfortunately added a regression in.
One issue of the audit was a XSS one that nobody abused until then but must / have been fixed nevertheless of course.
Overall a very solid result and a relieve going into the future with a secure foundation - as secure as it can be, for now at least.

HWS Community Photo Shooting Rewards Info

  • All players got their rewards.
    NOTE: each player only got the reward once - of course. IF some players play on multiple servers at the same time and I gave the reward on the “wrong” one, please make a ticket and I shift it over. Do not touch your rewards in this case please.

  • Added the Community Photo in the SharedData folder. This means another loading queue.
