Wakapedia-CIG:
There is still 3.24.2 hotfixes being worked on and applied to servers in the background to help mitigate issues. Client portion of fixes is still being discussed
Wakapedia-CIG:
HOTFIX channel will be opening up shortly for a 3.24.2 client hotfix for LIVE.
These updates require the updated client in the build. These will be up on the HOTFIX channel overnight and if all is well pushed to the LIVE channel tomorrow
Spectrum MOTD:
**
(Friday) Today’s Goals:
- We are working on further Hybrid crash fixes that we intend to directly hotfix on LIVE later today as well as push the client side hotfix onto the LIVE Channel.
- We are currently building a new 4.0 build for a 4-5 hour Evocati playtest later today.**
Wakapedia-CIG:
We have 1 random Hybrid hotfixed on LIVE to test if the fix is working. So far it hasn’t crashed after 50 minutes
Still needs much more soak time to be sure the fix is safe but will let you all know the second we start spreading to further hybrids on live!
sc-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: 10/25/2024 Updates
client hotfix is now on the LIVE channel on the launcher. The 4 fixes below are resolved by the client portion of the hotfix while we continue to roll out hybrid crash fixes tonight to help stability
Fixed - PU - Vehicles - mining - Scanner / Ping does not give AR marker returns for surface mineables
Fixed - PU - Stanton - Orison - Locations - Atmosphere is lacking in several areas around Orison
Fixed - AC - The Good Doctor - Room System / Actor - The temperature outside is -28c for the Room System, even though it is a savanna type environment outside
Fixed Multiple Client Crashes
ETF-testing-chat | Ahmed-CIG: I’ve been rolling out a new hotfix to the frequent 30K (hybrid crashes) in the US and I’m currently in the process of rolling it out to all regions. Hopefully this hotfix will address most of the major reasons behind the current instability. New shards will have the string “9393125” in their ID
Spectrum MOTD:
(Friday) Today’s Goals:
