Who is holding out until the servers shut down?

[bummer]

Ive moved on a bit already as the player base was rather small in my region. Only came back after I upgraded my GPU for the better graphics lol. Im planning to play this game until the servers shut down. Cause after the servers are down, cant do ♥♥♥♥.

[=.KoG.= Kosmos]

Well, i've been playing this game mostly, if not only, on community servers that I operate,
and many out there also keep on running servers too. Such as [57th]Squadron, =TAC=, =EBS= , <<AD>>, and many more.

So unless they decide to prevent us from running servers, the game won't die any time soon.

I mean, even Insurgency 2014 is still alive in the first place.

So there's no real reason to worry 'bout servers.

Servers afaik are not shutting down, only the devs were fired. The devs themselves stated that they have not worked on the game since the Survival update.

All in all things are not going to change much.

i doubt the community servers will be shut down but u can bet the standard servers are going down (this is me going off of IS 1 and the Mod; both of which have some sort of community servers to fill in for NWI servers lots of russians n high ping tho)

they are still working on year 3 update and updates..and next gen update, they confirmed it on twitter today, that will take at least a year, then when its done, they not gonna just shut the servers after its finished.
I swear ppl just read the headline and make assumptions lol

Not me, every time i try to play this game, i get anticheat problems. im sick of repairing the game.

[Razer, Dat Bragon]

Well I want to but every time I select Australian servers only, I get put into a server with 200+ ping all the ****ing time, that's the same ping I get in the Asian servers.

I have swapped from a Ethernet to my 4G hotspot, if my FTTN (Ethernet) went to poo (5% to 40% packetloss) I would swap to 4G & get 60 ping with 0% packet loss, now it's just 200+ ping for both of them.

Idk if this has been happening to other Australian players but I did see two in the server I was in, one from Perth & the other from QLD with 60 ping while I 200+ & I'm from Perth.

Insurgency 2014 is using Steam networking, that's why it is alive.
Sandstorm doesn't. So if main servers will be turned off, you wouldn't be able to run the game anymore.

No problemo, officials will run at least as long as the updates (so another 18 month), after that it's only community servers if they kill official servers at all) and at some point the game will be so old, it's getting even stale for nerds like me xD

Spearin and Co. should make a small kickstarter with some pledgegoals in the direction of IS2 on UE5 or Source. Modern era, typical hotspots around the globe, same mechanics, bit more realistic.

My guess is, it might work. Difficult to trust anyone in the industry anymore, but the original devs and some of the new who were still very dedicated and interested, could just dump cosmetic and hillbilly system and make a gritty core Insurgency 4.

Think I'm not way off that at least 20k players would throw in $30 for a techdemo.
With 600k, you can run a studio on mid-energy for a nice juicy EA and start to haul in additional funds from the crowd only.

Still very convinced it would work.

I would even Volunteer as a designer for them if that would be an option.
UE5 is awesome for next gen hardware.

B-17 FF's manual was basically the plane's manual from what I remember. So many pages and very overwhelming to a youngster who thought being good at Comanche was hardcore.

Maybe not IS2, but I bet it'll be a bit more realistic.

I don't think it will be a big problem for people who playing community servers for the whole time, which I do so. For sure, the official server will be down but the gaming experience is ♥♥♥♥ there anyway so should be fine.
But if the server is not up anymore, I think everyone who play community server might need to enter server manually using IP, and there will be no level system, maybe anti-cheat also will be gone.
Personally I disable the anti-cheat as I usually play PVE. Level system shouldn't be a problem because it is nearly useless beside it can indicated that player know how to play the game or not in some degree.
