And it specifically was the Server Maintenance shut down message or the time out message?

We're looking for a Wiki manager based in Prague (with other tasks) but when we find one, we will definitely need contributors, so then we'd reach out but thanks for the tip ?

Looking into it.

Here's my calm Island With small secrets aplenty What waits tomorrow? The art of Haiku is easy to learn but hard to master. That's why we’ll reward the best Haiku about Ylands with a pet of the winner’s choosing from the in-game store! Submit your Haiku with an accompanying screenshot to enter.

Oh oh ? ? Oh don't be sorry! I'm sorry that this keeps happening and thank you very much ?

So the things disappearing is a known problem and we are working on a fix for that. Should be fixed in 1.5 hopefully. The programmers in fact identified a multitude of bugs from your server, so they are going through them and fixing them as they go. Hopefully, most of it should be fixed by 1.5 ?

We continue with another themed package of assets after Atlantis, this time expanding the Egyptian theme. New enemies and mummy wraps set enable you to experience some serious tomb raiding, bronze armor and weapon set to let you arm yourself as the warrior of ancient empires and all these are also getting ready to enter the Exploration world in Update 1.5 ?

Not sure about servicable underwater stations, but we really want to have wandering pirates ? That's one reason, why we are also working on AI shooting possibilities but it will take still some time to implement proper pirates into the game.

We are actually working on this one and should be fixed by 1.5 ? I think we have more than plenty to go on now. I've been logging in every log you sent and the programmers are going to read through them and try and find out, what is going on. Thank you for your heroic effort ?

And this happened after today's update? Because that was supposed to be fixed ?

And is a shorter version possible?

Okey, so the message changed now from Server Maintenance to Connection Timed Out? Or has someone been getting the old message too?

And did the server maintenance bug happen lately @kimbuck?

I don't think it is on your end. Could you please add the scenario you are using and the server name you are on? So we can look into it properly?

This isn't server maintenance though, right? This is something else? Not being able to login at all? We always need a short summary of what happened, so we know where and at what to look for ? And thank you for the logs.

It will be re-enabled in the Editor with 1.4.1.

That's really impressive ?

That...is...AMAZING ?

Can't guess. Was it again server maintenance? Because that should be fixed ? In that case it has to be because of something else than we first thought...

Hey there Ylanders! While we are finishing up work on our small 1.4.1 update and also while working on our big 1.5 Exploration update, we thought we’d share a few good news snippets with you ? One of them being, as you might have noticed on various Social Media, that we won a couple of prizes ? At the 2019 Czech Games awards, which got postponed because of the covid situation, we managed to win not one, but two categories ? First one being the free-to-play category for the creative freedom we give every player interested in building and creating and second for best technology solutions, mainly for our Visual Scripting tools and overall powerful Editor. We are of course very proud of our hard-working team and humbled to receive such awards, but it is also because of your help and feedback, that we got to this stage, so thank you too ? But as we said in previous Dev Diaries, this in no way means, that we are done or that we are satisfied, but rather, that we want to get better and better, especially now with our big plans surrounding Exploration. Here are the awards themselves, though unfortunately, they are only in Czech and without subtitles. And second good news we have is, that while normally we keep the biomes of Ylands in china and Western Ylands separate, the Creators there are creating a huge amount of some truly spectacular games and projects, so we got together with our friends in China to port some of these games to our Workshop too, so you can try them out and enjoy some really ingenious games. There are a few on the workshop now, that you can try right away, but we’ll be getting some more in down the line. But this won’t be a one-way street, because down the line after some of our competitions, that we are very close to announcing, the best of the best from our Workshop will be invited to share their Creations with our chums in the East and maybe at some point we could do a competition between the two Workshops ? But that’s for another time. So until next time, stay classy Ylanders ? P.S. You can try out the games here: https://play.ylands.com/asset/7195 https://play.ylands.com/asset/7197 https://play.ylands.com/asset/7239 https://play.ylands.com/asset/7251 https://play.ylands.com/asset/7264

That's a really cool town ? Loving it ?

Okey, we checked it out and it really happens, so we'll try and fix it for update 1.5.

You sent me multiple different scenarios over the last year and a few months ? Which one would this be? You can tell me on Discord ?Also I presume you update your games and scenarios? So the one you sent me in the past isn't the same as the one used by @kimbuck in this situation.

So our backend guys and our programmers have probably found the culprit (of the server maintenance bug) and while a proper fix will be present in update 1.5. they figured out a workaround fix, that should now be live. So hopefully you shouldn't be getting kicked by the Server Maintenance error anymore. The logs were crucial for this and it is because of them, that they found the problem, so thank you very much @kimbuck and @bobo198312 for sending them. Regarding the white screen and long loading times, we are still investigating this.

Yep, it's a bug, we're looking into it.
