Hi Royalers, An issue I have with the relatively new addition of the uptime server updates to files that require you to re-client all your clients to open new ones. I'm a mercher, opening between 4-15 shops at a time, and every time there is an update without a server check, which sometimes happens multiple times a day, I have to re-client every client to play the game. It is really hard to play this game when I am required to re-client all the time, it makes me disconnect on all my clients that were up before the files updated. I do get the need for updates while the server is up, but I want to suggest to either make those changes if it's 100% necessary. A reference of what I have to open each time it happens.
Yeah, I don't mind it being once in a while if it's needed. My problem is that it can happen multiple times a day, for no known reason and usually not important. For example - I opened 5 shops yesterday -> dced in this morning because of a change Did open them again in the morning -> could not open new clients in mid-day Opened them at night and it happened again...
The days after a new patch can be a bit clunky at times because new issues arise when many players try the new files. We try to test it beforehand but ultimately we can’t test everything in and out on different systems, OS and hardware. This leads to the necessity of some client sided fixes. Before those required you to download new files. I am much happier we can do those edits while the server is up now and rather make you reclient than redownload. Of course we try to keep the live edits minimal. Sorry for the inconvenience cause but we hope you understand it’s for the greater good of a stable game for everyone.
I'm not sure why it is tagged "QOL" Getting DC either mid-boss or mid-afking because of a minor file change is definitely not a QOL but a serious bug...
The client update shouldn’t dc online players. Do you think it does? I didn’t set the tag myself and changed it to „gerneral“ now.
In my personal experience, leaving few clients up for the night, came back to some/all clients either vanishing completely or going back into the main menu. many times it was after those types of updates, but I can't be sure. It's not my internet connection - I have a monitor telling me when my internet is down.
