probably various loads, but ideally 100% capacity load to make sure it performs as expected. then again it may actually have nothing to do with that and possibly something like a tripped wire, and getting a new one takes hours of red tape and an engineer from the local reputable service to replace for all i know.
Yeah, that and granted, I would imagine that Holodeck's coding is probably vastly different from Tribble's coding. Meaning that no matter what there's going to be some issues. I'm mostly just trying to understand a little more about the process going on behind the 'graphics' while getting an open area answer of some kind so that everyone can see it.
The server has been down nearly all day... Hopefully they'll toss on a patch in the meantime. No sense in coming back online really until they do so since the 8.5 bugs were so bad.
Always have to laugh when I see people complain about a game server being down. I just got back from a long work day and was looking forward to playing, it is irritating, but it's part of the game. I have played many games online since the early days of EQ. I have yet to play a game that doesn't experience downtime, especially around patches and big events.
STO's server issues aren't unique. Besides, seeing how your friends and fleetmates handle downtime on the forums gives you a better understanding of who they are... or at the least, give you some entertainment.
so on the load screen it says season8.5 is live correct me if im wrong but with the servers down season 8.5 is not live..............used to be pay to play now its.............. PRAY TO PLAY
Captain's Log, Stardate 91686.46. We just got a report from the senior engineer and he promises the system will be operational in another fifteen minutes.
I hope he's right...the natives are getting restless. And they've got phasers.

Well Tribble constantly gets wiped. Holodeck after 4 years with updates piled on top of updates ends up looking like spaghetti coding.

Hey look a comedian.
An actually good comedian...

Actually no it hasn't. He posted at 3:24pm PST that it'd be 60 minutes. So they still have around 20 minutes
And once again, it doesn't matter how much testing is done. Nothing can predict server loads when thousands hit at the same time.
I disagree there is server software benchmarks that can load test the performance based off of the baselines of 1 user = x cputime - x bandwith x memory x ports etc etc etc its just simple math after that. Problem is if you didnt run it you dont know what it can handle - hence it will crash and you have to use a crystal ball to guess what the magic load is.

That's a great idea! Praying is cheaper than Paying...
Look, I've seen STO patches... Every. Week. And those are just minor bugfixes. And I bet you guys have been playing a LOT longer than I have. So you should be used to the patches. Oh, It takes a lot longer for a content revamp. Well, duh. But STOP COMPLAINING.
*frantically waves arms to draw attention away from the post that... is quoted in this... nevermind, anyway* NO! Under no circumstances do this! It's a tribble idea that can only possibly result in the meltdown of the space time continuum! O.O

I'm not THAT difficult to please, I just have a very low tolerance threshold for stupid BS! - George Carlin.
so the final checks are in progress now. question is what made it crash to begin with. has that been adressed and corrected? and will the server handle the load now? soo many variables. only time will tell.
give us some good news bran. were all awaiting with baited breath. and maybe a side of halitosis.

Sure there are benchmark programs, however they dont test systems INSIDE the game. And that can be problematic at best.

ok @PWE_Branflakes, a day or two extension on the season 4 events would be great please, here in the UK it launched in the evening and its now 00:13 and we still can not log in so we've lost our first day, im off to bed, please fix by tomorrow night .

yeah? then whats this?
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

Well, if it's longer than 15 minutes, we're making progress

But anyone who can predict the weather in Death Valley can predict STO's status immediately after a heavily-advertised major update!

If it'll be enough to use all my keys, I'll call it a day
RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.
This isn't some kind of backward Scotty repair estimate thing, is it?
He multiplied by a factor of four. You're not dividing, are you?
I hope he's right...the natives are getting restless. And they've got phasers.

I thought Scotty always doubled his time estimates, not quadrupled them... then again I might be remembering 'The Engineer's Rule' wrong...

Must be using a Gallifreyan method of telling time cause it's been more then the 60 minutes previously stated.
And who said there was no cross over from Doctor Who into Star Trek
