One Universe Update-Is it ready to go live?

[torac]

Like a number of veteran players,I have spent the weekend on the experimental build that is due to go live on Monday. Yesterday we had roll backs and crashes. Today the homeworlds have been down, moons have crashed and many guys have been left in the infamous black room-lol.
Now its almost impossible to log in.
So- this is a question addressed to the Community. Given the problems, would you like the devs to delay to give time for this to be fixed?
I know the devs will do what they feel best, but I wanted to see for myself what the Community felt.

The build doesn't seem stable enough to me. Not sure if the increase in players caused problems (which would be bad news when it goes live), or if there are some other unresolved problems. Either way, the connection problems would, in my opinion, push many players away from the game. A week ago I didn't expect One World to be done for several more weeks, so I wouldn't be too heartbroken if it took a little longer.

If this gets released in it current form it will be a disaster to happen since people will no longer by able to play,
i've been on the test servers this week-end as well and this rc canidate is far from a product that is payable by more then ten people, i very much doubt its wise to implement it in its current form

It runs better than it used to, but I can't even get on the experimental server.

Now 2 and a half hours trying to get back into game...no one can say I give up easily! Experimental build seems to have totally crashed.

I cant get into experimental anymore either, I get thrown into a weird room with a 'no home planet' error

[Mr Queenie]

So we will have the big patch tomorrow?

I grabbed this game at a pretty early stage and forgot about it for a long time,
today I noticed it again,
from this topic I can assume a big patch is coming and I should wait a day or more before I try it again?

Yep- there is a total wipe coming, The devs plan was to release it tomorrow- but stay tuned-lol.

[Mertaan Dinosaur]

Thanks! I'll stay put for now. :)
I'm curious to see how the game is now, compared to last time i played on.. March 2015.
Woops! Haha!

Well this does not sound good. I've been waiting to play singleplayer for about a month now. All because of a wipe that is coming mostly for multiplayer which i don't care about. But if the new update breaks the game for singleplayer that kinda sucks. They need to wait if it's not ready for prime time. I don't see why they can't just leave singleplayer alone as far as saves go. Ah well.

Ok- now experimental server seems to have crashed again...black room is back- wont load.
edit- ok , back up

the issue is: if you don't allow people to destroy buildings in pve then someone will just troll and build everywhere and then you can't build anything

I have code that will punish if you destroy NON decaying buildings you will get punished

punished: like the newbie killer


We are really trying not to shake the jello by adding changes that are not directly related to the showstoppers at hand.

All of those crashes have been addressed.

There is still an OOM. But it is a strange one. High water mark will go up and then a bit later it will drop back down.
