Stress TESTing for Science (and to break stuff)!

Happy Friday everyone from fantastic Austin, Texas! hat tip

Just a reminder for the Reddit SC Family: Today we'll be coordinating a short, one hour concurrency test today to analyze efficiency and impact of our latest round of hotfixes.

QA, DevOps, and Game Support will be in General Chat answering questions about the hotfix, so feel free to join hop in there (and we'll also be jumping in the game to test along with you!).

If you are free, and want to contribute an hour to our testing efforts, come hop in Chat and in-game today:

• 2pm PDT (West Coast USA)
• 4pm CDT (Texas time... y'all)
• 5pm EDT (East Coast USA)
• 9pm GMT/UTC
• 10pm IST/BST (UK/Ireland time)
• 11pm CET/SAST (Germany/South Africa time)
• 6am KST (South Korea)
• 7am AEST (Eastern Australia)
• 9am NZST (New Zealand)

To recap the status of the three major items affecting multiplayer Spectrum Matches since 1.1.1 release:

• Black Screen in Lobby: Fixed.
• Infinite Load Screen: Investigated and repro'd but causes identified. We'll be providing additional updates on this next week.
• Kicked Back To Lobby: Hotfix published Wednesday and to be stress tested today.

Please know there are still assorted issues we're continuing to work on outside of these three, and we'll likely uncover new issues today... which is why we test. ;)

We'd ask that you provide results of your test later today on this post on the Forums:https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/253141/stress-test-for-kicked-back-to-lobby-at-9pm-utc-fri-apr-17/p1[1]

Thanks and happy hunting! - Will

I really, really, really hope they don't break the servers today. The Captain's Cup Grand Prix is tonight! :confused:

At this point I believe CIG is purposely doing this to frustrate you :P

So will you reschedule or just run it in solo mode and ask where everyone is?

 

[CaptainRichard]

I already rescheduled it from last week when Alpha 1.1.1 dropped right before the event was supposed to go live.

Not trying to go for a third attempt!

Ha, get out of bed at 9am on a Saturday? Not bloody likely CIG. Oh, wait its 5:45 and I'm already up. Goddamn it.
