Servers are off.. while we push the big update!
« on: September 10, 2014, 10:06:45 am »
Hello everyone!

We have shut down all servers and started the process of updating the game.

Can't tell you yet exact downtime, but expect it to be up within 10 hours (if we don't hit any major stopper).

Thanks for patience and for staying with us!

UPDATE:
At the last moment (right before the process of updating the live game servers) we found some critical bug on the game client, which we can't fix fast enough.
Instead of pushing new version to the public with non-working game client, we decided to locate and properly fix the issue.
So, the update will be delayed for at least two days (we will need to run some intensive tests to be sure the bug is fixed and gone forever).

The servers are back online now, no modifications has been made, so you can continue your journey in AfterWorld.

Thanks Dr.Butler, its better to have found a critical issue while you had a chance to delay the roll-out rather than having to turn off the new game while this was fixed!

Agreed, it's a bit disappointing to have the update delayed but it's encouraging that your team is focused on finding and thoroughly squashing a potentially-game-breaking bug!

Is there anything that we can do to help with verifying that it is indeed fixed?

Since a client bug can just as easily come from a server bug... its really the best of all moves.   Now who is going to tell Tuman to add 2 days to the count?

Most of the bugs were fixed, currently mr. Butler is working on the swamp's fog. Tomorrow we are going to prepare new installer and at 17-th september we are planning to perform the update.[/color]Sorry for the delay, guys - we found those bugs in process of update and it weren't possible to continue update until they are fixed.
