Hi guys,

Just a warning that there has been A LOT of server related crashes since the last few patches, when there never use to be.

Really kills the mood when the game's been going for 20 minutes and then 'connection problems' happen and the server has an error dialog pop-up.

I'm not sure this is even on the radar at the moment as a problem, according to the progress page?

Thanks

    Just experienced it as well, it just committed suicide. No turret or hydra spam either


    On a more positive note, I can now play on medium WITH shadows on. I was so used to not having them, I almost got scared to death by a drifter shadow around a corner XD

    What prevented you from playing on High before, Kouji? Just curious because changing the detail doesn't seem to affect my game in any way - quiet areas are smooth, battles are stuttery, regardless of detail.

    Been getting a lot of server/game crashes since 160 patch. It's pretty frustrating after playing marines for 30 minutes slowly defending and expanding, then eventually beginning to take over the map only to have it crash once we start advancing. Seems to happen every time.

    Just like to add some experience.

    I have not noticed these problems with build 160, my server can stay up for many hours without crashing. That's not to say it doesn't crash, but its likely that it wont. When it crashes, how much memory has the server.exe process used?

    159 is similar as well, stability of 159 and 160 seems the same.
    But, 158, that felt rock solid to me. Although how many people were actually playing 158 regularly? While it could stay up for about 4 days+, it probably only go about 20 hours combined playtime, while currently in 159/160 its full (14people) for about 2-4 hours a day.
