Hi all,

 

Just wanted to let you all know that we'll be doing further work on improving the server performance next week. We don't currently expect any downtime while we work on the improvements, but we'll let you know in advance if there is going to be any!

Good to hear, thank you Hoofmaster for your continued work in this area.

Thank you...hunted 2 nights ago with only 339 players on line and the lag was brutal.  Had I not  been using an Epic pot and a Flask of Death , among other pots and buffs, I would have shut my hunt down.  As it was, what normally would take about a 2 hour hunt went well over 3 hours....it was a beatdown.

2-3 hours for a hunt ?? omg ...i would have quit years ago if it was like that for me... i can do a hunt in about 30 mins

Very nice to hear. Thanks HCS.

[mary4ever]

thanks hoof, hope this gets fixed soon

 

I have been having 3-5 seconds page loads for the last few months BUT since today (noon) it unfortunately got worse

 

I am now having 20+ seconds page loads and moving on the world map (new map) is hardly possible for me anymore  (sometimes the action list icon keeps loading for minutes, I tried clearing cache, a system restart, different browsers at home and work on 4 different computers and still the same )

I am hesitatingly excited about getting the game's infrastructure back in order. It is of the utmost importance. Thanks Hoof, and good luck.

[bigchaos]

I agree with all the posts on taking time to get the game infrastructure back on track.  I will also agree that leveling hunts have been brutal. I went  on my first hunt since double xp event and it had taken me several hours to do.   I was using epic potions too. I will say thank  you for any improvements hcs in getting everything moving smoother and faster in server performance

Server Improvements   yes please!!!

Lag has always been a part of FS no matter what your connection speed is. If lag can be eliminated than thats a +1 from me and I am sure everyone else who plays FS.

[winemaker]

did this ever happen?   nothing like busting out some spendy potions to get timed out and not able to play..guess thats one way to make some $$$...

We're still testing and analyzing tweaks to improvement performance

[DeadParrot]

I am not able to hunt anywhere but on my very expensive computer at home.  Kind of defeats the whole browser-based-thingy.  I'm confused as to why server improvements take such a stretch of time.  Are resources being shared or borrowed to drive the other games, including iOS?  I've given up hunting for the foreseeable future, and have abandoned the Ladder as all medals and progress are likely to become obsolete when the new system comes online.  Arena? GvG? Caves? Yeah right. 

 

A bit frustrated.

So, if it keeps improving like that, only 4 or 5 more edits before you can stop editing to report the lag

It seems like game speed isn't coming back to normal speed. It's getting worse day by day, I was wasting potions when the creature stops walking on the map. This is getting frustrating now, as so many days has passed since this issue came and still it isn't fixed. I always see developers saying they are doing some server performance works, but could you developers please explain what is happening to the server and what is being done to fix it.

The tweaks are not working very well, need to run some more tests I guess.

I have spent more time this weekend getting Server Timed Out pages then actually being able to play the game and when i finally do get connected ( for a few minutes ) the lag is so bad that i cannot post in chat or check AH can honestly barely get my profile page to load... Very disappointing weekend :/ hopefully HCS starts fixing issues soon.
