@Specter If you guys can make it like next weekend, that would be cool, busy weekend after most likely

@Kiemas

The point is to test how the server copes with loads of people logging on at once, so far not awesome, but they are sorting this problem out.

They need this test to improve for later tests and will probably keep improving their servers and systems until it's ready for the full release, this is the basis of any development path, find issues, fix them, add new stuff, repeat.

There will always be problems later on, but finding as much early on i.e. now, means there will be less issues later down the road.

I can pretty much guarantee that when they release this game in 2021, I believe was the year suggested so far for release to open beta/full release, the first 1-7 days will have queues, crashes, problems logging in and bugs here and there.

But do you know what, EVERY game in the history of the world, has had these same problems on release, because there are always more people than you think who will log on all at once and usually crash the server.

Nothing you can do, but prepare the best you can, which is the whole point of this and every test on the game.

@Yogdrael
Always good to try, I find the more I re write a post, the less angry I am at someone and eventually, sometimes I forget why I'm writing a post and I just turn my router off, but that was rather rude I think, so I had to post something lol

Anyways lets leave it at that, cause I feel we might be over posting off topic a bit here now.

@Prometheus So , after hotfix patch game started to crash on Log screen on weak PCs. I thought it was problem with NvidiaShadow Play , but it was not, i turned it off. Probably this might be fixed by letting people change "basic" settings before we enter the game. Can add Dxdiag if you will need it.

This is a good idea, at least for testing purposes in the future.

@Avaera said in Cant log in:

@Drustin Yep, I think it's just a matter of waiting to see if this particular load issue can be fixed.

No big deal, this is what stress testing is for. As far as first impressions go, I enjoyed the idea of 'backgrounds' at the character selection - and am looking forward to checking things out if the servers are rebooted.

Thanks to the team for making this a public test!

I'm sure it'll get resolved and to agree with you on the last point, thanks to the team for the opportunity to try this out, I missed out on the pre purchase stuff as I bought into another game, which kept being delayed and I am a poor bloke so I'm currently knitting some winter hats to sell and then I will buy this damn great game !
So yes thank you to @Prometheus and whoever else is part of your team, I don't know people that well yet !

@Yogdrael I do try to be nice, if you were hinting at me
It can be incredibly difficult, hence the rewriting of my post 5 times !

@Shivashanti My God, what a noob reply... Trying to teach a software developer what is stress test??? stop commenting on someones feedback when you dont know what you are talking.... If you cant get in the game how can you do stress test...

Are you serious right now ?

You can stress test many things in this world, but I shall keep it to game development only.

1. Login servers
2. Authentication servers.
3. Registration servers.
4. Forums.
5. Websites.
6. Launcher / Client.
7. Character creation.
8. Loading screens and loading in general.
9. Downloading the game or any related patches.
10. The game itself.

There are more, but I will limit it to just 10 things you can stress test during a stress test, because it all needs to be stress tested, because without stress testing all of the above and everything I left out, you will find that the stress test didn't acquire all the knowledge needed from a general stress test, because this is a bog standard stress test, which every game developer does.

Bugs and disconnections and connection issues will always occur and if they happen during a testing phase, that is great, because it gives developers a chance to sit back and say " Hey maybe we should alter / change / upgrade this thing ".

I really fear for your career as a software developer if you do not understand that a stress test is not just about testing the gameplay inside, but rather testing every last thing you possibly can within the time frame about your game.

Don't mean to sound patronising or mean or anything, probably did come out that way, but I re wrote this 5 times and it's the least mean thing I could come up with after you called @Shivashanti 's reply a noob reply and suggesting he's ignorant to the idea of what a stress test is, have some respect for people please.

KIND REGARDS

Yes it seems to be another case of the login server going down due to a large amount logging on.

Probably going to just try again tomorrow, my advice to the developers would be, ditch the excess weight ( Players ) -> Email me a private login -> Give me a day to play alone -> then let everyone else back on to the queues

Or just increase the amount that can log on, perhaps your server just can't handle that many at once though.

Same, relog to see if it helps.
It's probably due to all those people who couldn't get on earlier, doing so now, causing a queue.
Patience is a virtue

I am thinking that I made a wise choice not to buy this game. Online for last one hour and the time to start game increases 30 mins... this is 3rd time now. Just letting you know that because of this wrong communication i am dropping the idea of buying this game... Sorry Developers you wont get my money

What do you expect, this is Alpha testing, it's not a full release, they are doing a stress test to see what happens if many more on top of those who pre purchased log on at the same time, now they know, they fixed it and are moving on.

Bugs happen, they are dealt with and to be honest, they dealt with this one fast, most developers tend to spend a few days or even longer, look at some of the AAA companies, they have been around for years and still have half the bugs they started with and constant downtime and queues due to people logging on at the same time, it's a normal thing.

Oh I did not see that, thank you
I really need to get some glasses !

Does it also include the full game once it's out of beta or will that be another purchase ?
As in are all the packs, even the $20 pack ( lowest priced one ) just for joining alphas/betas or full release too ?

Legends of Aria was a great concept, but they developed it badly and released it too soon, Fractured seems like it will outshine LoA.

That's cool, I really hope so, want to move away from Windows.

Hi all, anyone know if there will be support for Linux by full release or perhaps later on down the line ?
