Happy Saturday! Hope you’re all doing well. 1.28 introduced some major changes when it comes to vehicles, server performance and fortifications. It also introduced a handful of nasty issues. We’re hoping this patch squares a good deal of the server related issues away. A big thanks to everyone that has helped us out over the last week. Replicating issues is always a challenge for us being such a small team. We can’t find the issues without your help. Unknowingly or not, you are all our testers as it should be with a true indie team and a genuine early access game. [h3]Server Issues[/h3] With your help we’ve identified some really nasty server issues. Most (not all) of which were introduced with the RV improvements. Mainly the ability to set a home in the RV, this has caused unforeseen issues with the database and in some circumstances was manifesting itself as nasty server lag. This issue was what was causing some of you to not be able to join server, quite possibly causing all kinds of terrible effects on running servers and introducing crazy amount of lag. We’ve also taken the opportunity to have a look over other not so current server issues, squashing a load of old warnings and misleading errors in the logs. This will make it far easier to identify actual issues in the future. If you are still having issues or have anything further to report, please feel free to reach out to Jayty or JB on our [url=https://discord.gg/survivethenights]Discord[/url] anytime. We need logs and info to fix issues :) [url=https://imgur.com/AnpOJxt][img]http://i.imgur.com/AnpOJxt.png[/img][/url] [h3]Store Refresh and New Logo[/h3] Game development is an insane time consumer and we rarely get a chance to tidy anything up. During some downtime Andre has refreshed our store page. This is something we’ve pretty much not done since release. There are numerous features currently in the game that just weren’t even mentioned on the store page. The new page, along with the new logo should drive some more people into the community. We’ll stay on top of things as we move along while introducing new features, areas and in-game goodies.
