Thx for the update Ales. Your openness and honesty is awesome and appreciated a lot!
Nevertheless I don't fully agree with the following:
First of all, I am a professional software tester, therefore I have some experience and a good gut feeling in analyzing issues in software. Additionally I am playing online games since more than 20 years and have seen a lot.
Yes, there can be thousands of reasons why a host is unreachable and most likely the majority of people seeing this error message have the issue on their side.
BUT there are also situations where I am 100% sure the issue is related to Ylands. Unfortunately I did not yet find a reproducible situation.
Hints for that:
- In some situations restarting the game fixed it.
- Sometimes restarting my PC fixed it, BUT everything else was working. All homepages reachable, every game playable, communication tools working, no hiccups, no high memory/cpu/whatever load, etc.
- I even had the situation: Connected to server, immediately disconnected, tried to connect again: host unreachable, reconnected, worked. (Yes, could have been a hiccup anywhere, but I know my PC and connection quite well. Its VERY stable.)
In the end its a question about robustness of the connection process and here you could improve I guess. Anyways, this is not critical from my point of view since most causes are in the responsibility of the user.
Keep up the good work, I love your game. Even though I have a professional allergy against bugs.
Greetz,
Ray-Sa
