Also I'm not cool enough to read that post. Is there more to your transcript?
Yeah, looks like missions aren't enabled yet as there's a bug with missions and server meshing, but we've been given the greenlight so the tech preview should be available shortly.
AWESOME. In the Game Environment drop down, will it appear as Tech Preview or PTU?
Thanks!
will appear as "Tech-Preview" in dropdown.
For a quicker download just rename your "LIVE" folder to "TECH-PREVIEW"
Looks like they found a crash last second so they're holding off for a bit to investigate.
UPDATE: looks like they're cancelling for tonight and going to try to fix it in the morning.
Ahhhhh. Lame.
Thanks man.
Canceled for tonight due to a last-minute breaking bug. The earliest it will be is in the morning.
soulcrush for sure... time to take the day off tomorrow!
I find this to be a curious decision considering the state of servers recently. Has anything improved since the last patch to justify this?
This is for testing server meshing and the new networking system (RMQ) they're putting in place to handle transferring information across the shards.
So this sounds like they'll probably have 4+ server nodes for the shard that's dedicated to stanton.
The last time we did this test, they opened it up for 400 players, the servers fell apart around 350 or so players. If they're able to handle closer to 800 players this time then they've definitely made improvements... They could also be adding on more server nodes for this test.
Thanks for the details. Isn't RMQ already in? I remember it being mentioned in regards to personal hangars before 3.24 release (umless that's what you mean by new).
Either way, I wish them luck. We could really use some networking improvements.
Benoit did a deep dive on a bunch of stuff during this last SCL.
He talks about NMQ (Network Message Queue) and RMQ around here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0AdNFF286Y&t=777s
Sounds like half of the live servers are still using NMQ while the other half are using RMQ.
Ahh, fair enough. I didn't have time to catch up on the last week's shows yet, sounds like it might be worth it. Thanks!
Fingers crossed for tomorrow's test. I'm really excited to actually see other people going about their business in the verse more.
