i thought this needed a new topic so here goes. some moderators please sticky this.

look at server status. if uptime is less than 45 minutes you can play safely without losing your stuff. if uptime is more than 45 minutes expect a crash, thus losing your game progress. server crashes every hour.

we need devs to fix but sense there is no devs it wont be fixed.

It would be nice if thay finaly post a message at News and Annoucements saying they are still here, not abandoned whole Fonline 2238.
I know it's hard to find time to do a side project when you have life, work, school, family and duties, but for god sake is it so hard to find 15 minutes to inform your beloved community what is going on ?!
Im checking the forum from about half a year to find some news from you Devs and people who work on the project, and even when stopped playing cause of lack of people and change of game style I still await a change and wipe to start playing again...
It would be nice, to tell the people " Who doesn't work on this project " ergo - " they don't have a word to say, how will Your picture of Fonline look " Becouse you have all the moneys for server and don't give a damn about 'em, just workin' on the game in free time then You say...
It's a silly thing to do, taking away something so great and don't give a damn about players all over the world, that contribute to this game, by just playing and spreading the news, discusing many aspects of the game, looking for bugs, and updating Fonline Wiki-Boy 2000 & don't forget about the donations made by those who realy care about ongoing of this project...

No shit, Captain Obvious.

I think they are already working, but at their own pace. Imagine the speed of light, then sound, an airplain flying, a car driving, a man runing, someone walking, a turtle moving, a snail " sliming ", a tree growing and finally i can say the pace is somewhere below all this. Though you should be happy this server is still running at all, after all these years of maintenance and the work they have put in. Don't be such a brat, everything is going to get fixed, they are going to develop this project forever and ever.

in case you people haven't noticed this isn't a message to devs to fix the rollbacks (i'm sure they got a shitload of these messages anyway). it's telling people there's a way around them to make the game relatively playable, and remove complaints such as "i lost my mercs, i lost my hummer, i lost my red condom", etc.

the problem of crashes is that 2238 engine does not support x64 processors. and server machine is based on 64 bit processor.

(modified thread title so there would be less confusion.)

Server has compensated for this strategy by listing its uptime as 3 hours. I'm thinking it's a trap to get me to log in?

Nah during the time when theres only around 10-20 people on it will stay on for a longer time, possibly 3-5 hours.

DeputyDope's tip works only during peak time, when there is about 50 people on server.

minutes 1-45 - you do normal activity that you don't want rollbacked, eg hunting
minutes 45-60 - do whatever can't be destroyed by rollbacks, eg looking for new people to hunt in game or even things where rollbacks are helpful, like some testing with your ammo / weapons (you will get it back).

Remember minute 45 is the moment where you will be rollbacked. If you are in encounter with other people, wait a moment for them to login. Location will disappear if you exit it. Once you adjust to the cycle you might find the game more fun to play.

This is disgusting.

[Brujah]

This is disgusting.

No.

People complaining about a free game and hanging around the forum just to trashtalk the game is disgusting.


Game is free, no one pays for this, complaining about this game is like being invited into someone's house and then throwing coffee at the host's face because the coffee wasn't like you wanted to.


These brats whining about how the game is "dead" must be the same brats that go to McDonald's to complain that their 3 dollar meal is taking more than 60 seconds to be prepared.


Don't like it don't stay here.

I really enjoy testing my ammo!

Maybe for you it's disgusting, but for some people it may be a valuable knowledge. In my opinion with 15 minute rollbacks every hour it's the only way to play 2238 without much frustration, unless you limit yourself to chit-chat / idling or simply quit until the problem is fixed. Sorry. Developers try to fix this:

we know what is probably causing this and we are working on fixing it

but please remember it's a free game and developing it is their hobby they do in their free time.

GMs can't do anything else except informing people how to mitigate inconveniences and fixing some consequences of crashes like broken stills or people trapped in Hinkley. These tasks are not particularly fun as you can probably imagine, much less fun than playing game in 45 minute windows (I tried so I know). So stop being a butt-hurt whiners if you have nothin valuable to add.
