Getting v1.70<\/a> up and running turned out to be a bit of a struggle, but the server is back online and all\u00a0of\u00a0the major bugs have been squashed. However, there\u00a0are still several things that need to be addressed in v1.70 before I can turn my focus back over to the expansion:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Players with massive savefiles are sometimes causing short server lag spikes when they log in and out of the game. We’ve had problems with this in the past on servers that had\u00a0lots of “old” savefiles, so it’s not surprising that the issue has popped up again now that all the savefiles are on one server. The good news is that I’ve been working on a fix for awhile now, and although it didn’t make it into the initial releases of v1.70, it should be ready very soon.<\/li>\n
  2. Due to a small bug, I took the second server instance offline earlier this week. This should be fixed soon as well, which means that players will once again be able to use the Savefile Management Tool<\/a> on the Midgard (2) instance.<\/li>\n
  3. The Marketplace is currently closed; I didn’t want to push my luck and introduce all of the cross-server stuff at once. It may be another week or two before the Marketplace is opened up again.<\/li>\n
  4. The NEStalgia web client that will allow\u00a0Mac\/Linux\/mobile device users to play the game<\/a> is ready to go live.\u00a0The web client will be available as soon as I can get the second server instance back online.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Though it may not seem like it on your end, this was a major transition and it’s a huge relief to have most of it wrapped up. I’m also very excited to be out of the savefile management business, as players can now\u00a0manually perform savefile merges and key changes\u00a0using the new tool. All of this stuff is\u00a0going to free up a ton of my time in the coming months.<\/p>\n

    What’s Next?<\/h5>\n

    Once I get the remaining v1.70 issues dealt with, I’ll switch back to focusing all of my development efforts on the Key of the Exiles expansion. I’m going to continue with the weekly blog updates as well.<\/p>\n

    It’s been a long time since we did a NEStalgia podcast, so recording a new episode is on the agenda for next week’s update. If\u00a0you have any questions about the recent v1.70 update, the expansion, or anything else NEStalgia related, please post your questions in the comments and we may use\u00a0them for a Q & A session during the podcast. We’ll be recording early next week, so get your questions in by the end of the weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
