Dear runners,
this was not an easy decision to make, but judging from the recent stability issues we have to delay the launch of Sparta until friday 20.00 CEST / 19.00 BST. Something went wrong with R#184 and we will have to figure out what exactly. This problem sadly did not occur during the last stress test on Vedeena and seems to pop up only after a while of operation plus many users online, so it is hard to reproduce in a development environment, but we will do our best to trace it down as soon as possible. In the meantime, please bear with us we all love you Neocron!
Nevertheless we will at least get you some information on Sparta to read throughout the next days!
Double XP will be kept enabled at least until monday next week.
Sincereley,
Your Neocron Support Team
UPDATE 2013-10-02 12:05 CEST
Dear all,
the issue has been identified and a fix has been applied. There will also be a codewise hotfix just to make sure. We tweaked some parts of the database driver to make Vedeena not loose it's database connection and become unreachable. However the changes did not scale as expected on Titan. Sorry guys!
As for the missing gfx: they will also be reincluded in the hotfix.
The hotfix will be applied on thursday 3.10. in the morning between 10 and 12 CEST.
