    Trying to log back in now, I'll post a screenshot if I get in (I'll edit into this post as not to spam the thread)v4gx9nizhm9a.png
    as promised a screenshot in case I got in (I still got some "InvalidEntityName" bugged names there but I'm in)

    I was able to get in without any issues. My launcher updated, but no patch. But then, I didn't make umpteen attempts to get in during the outage, so I probably never downloaded the corrupted files. 🤷‍♀️

    Ok, so, it looks like we're back. Hooray!

    All Captains on PC will be able to claim a special package of one bridge officer upgrade, one captain upgrade, and one experimental ship upgrade starting on Wednesday, once per account, as a thank you for being awesome and your patience.

    Great job!
    I'm sure you logged quite a few hours of overtime sorting this out.
    Thank you all for the hard work.

    Thank you, Devs! My launcher updated. Haven't gone into game yet, will later. And I can live with the ship name bug too.

    You guys are da bomb!
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Me too. :) In fact, I was about to suggest they not try and fix that for now, lest they jinx it again.

    Merely pointed it out, as the 'fix' seemingly involved reverting to an earlier state.

    Considering how many layers of spaghetti code there is in this game...

    99 bugs in the code we have found
    99 bugs in the code
    Take one down, patch it around

    Here's a map to show how much they've screwed up the game map.

    My client just sits there "Patching..." and nothing happening. How long should I let it sit there?

    Thanks to the devs for bringing the game back and the gifted upgrades is appreciated! :)

    Have to agree with those sentiments, Thanks to all and for the eventual gifts.

    I actually ran into this when i logged back in, I went down to the esd shipyard and went to the edit section of ship name, did not change anything and simply hit ok, and it was showing my ship name again once up in the sol system.

    From what I heard that bug really only affects space to space transitions. Not space to ground.

    Did they ever say what caused the issue? I've seen the phrases "bad code" or "corrupted files" but no actual official cause.

    Dang it, I was sipping on a chocolate milkshake when I read this and almost spit it out from laughing at the last line.

    In other news, I never experienced this bug, thankfully.

    Not sure if y'all know from the Reddit, but the compensation won't be available until Wednesday.
    I can live with that, as well as the "invalidentityname" bug for now.

    Agreed on the first count, I laughed pretty hard seeing it as well. :D

    I don't know if it's related, but I'm suddenly getting "SERVER NOT RESPONDING" and getting kicked every 3 to 10 minutes (estimated).
  • cyberoiduscyberoidus Member Posts: 15 Arc User
    Thanks guys , for fixing the game.......really appreciated.

    UPDATE:
    Good news! Whatever was causing me to get kicked so often has evidently resolved itself and seems NOT to be related to the recent troubles.

    As the Wise Man said, Groovy.

    Yeh i saw what you mean, although it was fine after beaming back up from esd to sol system itself, i used the quicky transwarp in the event tab to sphere allied space ground battlezone, after beaming up to space it was still fine until i went out into sector space and it reverted back to invalididentityname..
    I did try again back at esd and seemed fine, used a transwarp to ds9 system and then goncra and it stayed as my proper ship name until i went out into sector space..
    Bummer, but its nothing drastic at the moment, so hopefully they work that one out soon..
  • wo1dashwo1dash Member Posts: 13 Arc User
    Well, Cyptic fixed it for me:-) I don't say that often! Working as intended for the moment
  • acidbuk#5004 acidbuk Member Posts: 28 Arc User
    Just want to say thank you to the devs that almost certainly pulled a lot of overtime through the last few nights fixing this by a combination of screamed profanity, caffeine, chanting to the Omnissiah and praising its machine spirit. Possibly even some percussive maintenance to a server rack. or two just to be sure. but in all seriousness May all the devs have a good nights sleep and enjoy what is left of their Easter holiday,

    any chance we can get a detailed breakdown of what exactly went wrong? for those of us who are nerdy and curious?

    Thank you all for the hard work.

    except I doubt they are hourly.. Salary is far more likely
