I am fully relaxed...the only thing pissing me off this morning is people telling me to relax just for conveying facts to them...because text can't show tone, everyone thinks I'm upset...

I'm going to stop bothering, people can find Twitter and read updates just fine on their own.

Anyone who expects any crazy awesome gains from shooting matches full of disconnected players is fooling themselves.


Meh.

I need to play..NOW!!!

But seriously, I hope they find and fix it. Getting all those points is going to be hard work and I need all the time I can get.

You should fix crashing cose Nvidia drivers incompatible with this game

That would be a nightmare for the poor DB guy... imagine someone spent the XP finish basic skills, then kept playing during the weekend and unlocked elite skills etc. How will you remove that cleanly for xyz players?

I think the easiest way would be to check the probably rather few cases of high level titles/achievments (ie death star/ace most likely) that happened in this 1-2h and revert them. I wouldnt waste working time on removing that GXP from the achievments, cos they might be spent already and negative values in a DB can do BAD things sometimes... If someone earned it fair, this 1-2 cases can be delt with on individual support base (who wouldnt take a screenshot in such a case) and so can be teamkill exploiders...

IMHO thats a fair enough ballance between fairness and practicality

So basically...ALL previous matches that you or others have played where another player gets DC'ed mid-match, you kill them, that shouldn't count? I think at least the majority of us have all been DC'ed at some point or another to find ourselves dead or just about dead.

To get to the point, all those DC kills/EXP shouldn't count from all the previous games and should be reverted as well right???

I was worried the Raven Challenge wouldn't be extended. But possibly getting an entire day extension for a short (hopefully) downtime, is pretty generous.

Thanks PGI for jumping into this issue quickly.

Actually it's not that bad. I had a rather interesting trance party match where the Viridian Bog trees were flashing purple and red.
Actually rather enjoyable before I rebooted... no wait, the rebooting was enjoyable. That's right. Now I remember.

DEAR PGI:

Maybe you should spray some compressed air on the flux capacitor inside your servers... just don't do it too hard or the magic smoke will escape from your integrated circuits.

Will this solve the issue I've been having where my mech starts twitching uncontrollably even if I'm not moving my mouse at all?

I was having an issue like this. Turned out my gamepad was on my desk at a weird angle causing one of the analog sticks to be slightly off-center, thus moving my mech. Disable gamepad ftw.

Holy cow this waiting is killing me!! I appreciate the fixes, but the timing with the challenge couldn't be worse! Wife's gonna be home within the hour, then it's off to mariage counseling, then who knows what my fate will be!!!

The amount of concern some people are expressing about other people's achievements seems excessive.
Video. Game.

So .. any ETA at all?

I was seriously looking forward to some gaming tonight and I had from 18:30 to 21:30 (swedish time - so thats 9:30 to 12:30 PST) to do it (yeah it's sort of a wife coming home situation here as well). And now more than 2 of my 3 hours have passed already, and everything is still offline. What are you doing (except ruining my night)?

One and a half hours (and counting) to update the servers? Really?

Another thing I can't understand is why the public test servers must be down at the exact same time ...

UPDATE: The hot-fix is out, and includes a server fix for the connection issues that were occurring this morning.

The server fix requires that we temporarily disable VoIP functionality while we diagnose an issue with the TeamSpeak 3 SDK. We will provide more information on when VoIP functionality will be restored as soon as possible.

Services have been restored. Upon launching the client you will be required to install a small patch.

[Staffan]

And just like that - you're back online. Perhaps I can squeeze in a match or too if I'm lucky ...

[Strykewolf]

VOIP cuased it? LOL...was expecting another 'Urbie's fault!'

Crud - I didn't get in any matches with the VOIP enabled - so much for testing it over the weekend.

[color=#EEEEEE]Use the new in-match VoIP system to your advantage; it could make all the difference.[/color]

Just seeing as how the voip has been re-disabled I'm hoping you do more than 1 days worth of extension on the event. Matchmaking is terrible enough for solo pugs, but losing in-game comms essentially makes this a pre-made biased event again and everyone else is going to get rolled.

Advice: I just installed the patch. But before that the launcher disappeard twice after clicking "patch". Starting the launcher as admin fixed it. (Just in case that happens 2 somebody else)

I'm currently in the mechlab, seems fine for me.
