Server maintenance has been completed. We've incorporated a few back-end changes that should prevent location-related bugs from happening like we previously saw in Serrocco, as well as made some minor improvements to how they're stored. Thanks for your patience, and please feel free to reach out if you experience any issues.

We will be taking the game down around Y26 D194 01:00 CGT for approximately 2 hours in order to run the server maintenance associated with the previous issues. This should take place middle of the night for USA and late morning/early afternoon for Europe.

Hey folks, we've got a bit of an update for you:

We've fixed the below issue which basically duplicated an entity's location causing database issues, as well as another issue that popped up after fixing that one, where the database was over-earnestly deleting locations.

From all of this, we've identified some changes that need to be made on the back end in order to improve how locations/parties work, but it will require some game downtime. We're working to figure out exactly how long that's going to take, but it will very likely be multiple hours of downtime. As we get closer to the downtime window, we'll give you an exact timeframe we expect to be down for, and this Sim News will be updated accordingly. 

Thanks again for your patience!

EDIT: For those concerned: you'll get plenty of advance notice. We will not be just issuing a "game will be down in an hour" notice. I'm going to try to fit this downtime around my schedule, so I can be present for it, and ideally, we'll give ~24hrs of notice.

We've identified an issue with combat/travel bugging in Serroco. There have been 2 instances within the past 4 hours, and both instances of things breaking in Serroco have been a result of using the Promote to Leader button on the Squadron screen. Typically this has occurred at the same time that combat/travel(mainly combat) takes place, and it's causing issues. Our recommendation in the meantime is refrain from using the Promote to Leader button. Please see the masterfully crafted image below, and please continue to be patient as we work towards a more permanent fix.

This Sim news will be updated as we have more information.
