kimbuck 746 Posted December 13, 2019 I am tired of restarting from nothing every 2nd day. especially after putting alot of hard work into trying to play the game I have been looking for pvte locked servers and after some tiresome hunting on resource depleted spawn, i sometimes make it to an nearby island to be able to craft basics to survive... then sail on a raft to a place to establish.workstations and craft safely Other friendly players work with me ...we co operate... then we start collecting the hard to find resources and slowly make our houses etc griefer resistant and craft suitable weapons to explore etc And then what happens? The BI owned servers that are being rented shut down with no explanation... (once it was for maintenance and a hotfix and we were warned) other times we find out when the hamster wheel of failure appears on the screen But.. when we log back in .. the game has reset ..and we are all back on spawn ..with just a barrier and none of the stuff we had crafted. We cannot check to see if our bases are still there as spawn now has nothing to craft a raft etc from... and even so , we have no keys to access our base , if its still there This has happened to me 4 times now since the marvellous "out of ea" update. Whats the use of trying to play a game where you cannot progress? .. its not the players fault ...we don't shut down the server and reset it. Do you want us to stay with Ylands and play the game ? or are we being pushed out so they can concentrate of the playlands stuff? Multiplayer explore is not worth it now. Some have told me directly they will not get the DLC explore as they heart too many negative reports. Players get annoyed with a game which suffers rubber banding, intermittent freezing and crashes and constant being forced to restart, . I have spent a lot of time reporting and sending in crash logs ... i do every time i play! .... and the result? little has changed. This game should not have come out of early access until they can at least get it working... not just the playlands stuff but ALL the aspects of the game. After today's server shut down and stuff up if am on the verge of flushing ylands down the toilet. It is NOT an enjoyable game anymore. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted December 14, 2019 Ok a beggar for punishment! Locate a server that's locked to keep out griefers...... the person in charge is known and trusted ... he lets me in Spawn has been depleted and also partly denuded ... so i set up a base and with the person in charge's permission and help, we fix it up and make the game more playable ( ie chests with resources for beginners) All is working smooth and sweet, flora and fauna thriving ... players arrive and start to re build. However we encounter several freezing episodes where the game either locks up ...or screen goes pale blue and we get dumped out Going back through MP lobby we find the game and resume ..and all seems ok Regulars arrive back and continue trying to progress, some annoyed at the constant resets, but persisting then the inevitable happens ... yes .. the blue screen and hamster wheel of death this is in less than half a day of operation, and with only 6 max players on line so we try to get back ...we see the server name in MP lobby and click to join.... where do we end up? on a public access server that's all mixed up and obviously glitching ..and we all have nothing in inventory but the pb ...and we appear to be falling in space.. so we log out and try again ...same thing ... the original server name we were on is till there but we get tossed back to this glitched public server. so now you got more players rather mad at what you are offering as a MP explore game that honesty is now a disaster...its not working ! Its broken! Its like monty python's dead parrot! And it not just me saying it. Its happened now 4 times with me and the other 7 players from each crashed game are just as frustrated as i am and some of their comments are not nice. ---- Justifiably so too considering whats happening thats at least 32 dedicated players who are angry. Please listen to RedEagle ..and also your customer base ... the latter is shrinking The game is not ready for release from EA if you don't like these comments ------ these are honest comments, made in an attempt to see something done that will resurrect a once good game which initially had promise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Snellgrove 1451 Posted December 16, 2019 So when this happens, we'd really need the output_logs or even better name of server when it goes bad, because otherwise we have no way of finding out, what's going wrong. It could be a hundred different things. The logs will tell us precisely, what happened and we can start fixing it. Thank you for the report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
