Hey everyone! So, as some of you might have heard in the chat, the team found one of the bugs we believe is responsible for the freeze and lag errors that people have been getting. The game was doing database backups and saving enormous amounts of data from every turn played by every player in the game. When we totaled it out it was something to the tune of 7.1GB and it was doing this four times a day.
That data was being saved, backed up, and the server was compressing it all at the same time. Every time! With that kind of process going on it’s no wonder there were some freezes and some lag. The good news is that we found it and we’ve fixed it. It’s already been folded into the live version and you should be able to see those effects at work!
Today is the last day that the Alliance Crest cardback, in the store on the third tab, is available. Each of these limited edition cards will be available for a week and then gone. Poof! Like magic. A new one will be taking its place. Which? Empire! Look for that tomorrow if you’re an Empire fan! I know I will be.
Also, tomorrow we’re hoping to update the game with some of the other fixes that we’ve been working on. Some balance changes have gone into it along with fixes to kamikaze, some tweaks to shelter, and a few other things.
That’s all I have for you at the moment! See you on the battlefield!
