quite a really short shy list.
hopefully with big improvements .
but still , Marshalls travelling? was that a priority?
Nothing to improve the game then, except the broken bits should load faster, chat will still be broken, mail will still be broken, star menu and sending specialists will still be broken. Seems easier to fix the bits that hardly anyone uses.
Right now if you open a building window, then open another one, and another one and so on all the windows will stack... will this update fix this? so when u open new window the old one closes.
Also, make it possible that when u press escape the building window will close, this doesn't work on all the buildings so pls make it available for all
Guys - do not expect miracles nor put the yardstick so high you will always be disappointed. A short list can be good or bad- if performance makes the game realistically playable for people then that alone would warrant maintenance.
They will put in what is ready and tested (well we hope) and they usually also put stuff in thats not on the list so it is a question of wait and see. shooting em down before the maintenance is kinda pointless
Indeed I expected a longer list with fixed bugs. But let's check the improvements tomorrow.
ready and tested? since when do they do that?Quote:

Thank God you've fixed that Marshalls tooltip - that was a real gamebreaker!
Good start, but it took its good time to come. Short list, where are the rest? When ?
tyvm for this update. Hope next will follow in about 3 weeks.
Thank you for the update, I know there are complaints about the update list being short, but I am excited by an update. I know the dev team has been working very hard to restore the game, one step at time.
Ooooh i laugh everytime i read the feedback thread... why do everybody always think BB can fix everything during 1 maintenance..... Expect nothing and be surprised, expect everything and be disappointed....
i agree, they dont always choose the correct order....
But why not just be happy about they actually got something fixed....
i have none what so ever knowledge about IT....
but I do know i laugh quite loud when reading feedback threads :D:D:D

Can you log into the game to check for me if the tooltip of Marshalls while traveling is a current problem for how many people? I can't login.
Thank you.
If you're a coder, scrolling though code, and spot an obvious typo bug, that takes 2 seconds to fix, should you just leave it for another day whilst you look for an elusive Star window closing bug, or correct the type? Yes it probably affects 3 people across all the servers, but every bug fixed now is one less to fix later.Quote:

In my world, 4th August is Wednesday, not Tuesday.
I'm guessing/hoping that "Performance of the UI" means "stop the game from trying to murder cpus".
If so, I'd have been happy with just that on the list.
Fingers, toes, arms, legs, and eyes all crossed...
Some items are simple fixes that get done in between stuff. I know if i have like 30 mins spare i will usually get something simple off my to-do list - something i know i can finish in that time instead of starting up something new and then spending almost as much time the next day picking up where i left it.
I presume BB programmers will do the same to some extent so beside the important stuff, some other stuff gets fixed and pushed to live as well
Other than that, not all the team can work on the same problems, so some will do other stuff including stuff that is trivial compared to the game breaking stuff.
Just take it in your stride and hope they use their time most effectively. Remember that it is not in their interest not to focus on fixing the problems and the team will know that as well. It is frustrating and we can curse bad choices but we are where we are and have to hope their sense of urgency and prioritization are close to ours.
We will see in a few hours what they managed in the last few weeks nad hope they will have a weekly cycle of updates to get us where we need to be
I guess they had the update planned for yesterday and decided to push it back a day to finsih off some stuff and didnt amend the message fully. The important thing is, they are updating :PQuote:

I guess (since I finally got into the game) that maintenance is done.
No difference compared to pre-maintenance: still extremely slow loading.
::-oldlongbow::
i like the way they disabled chat so we cant complain :)
Thanks for trying to fix things, but you wont see me back in game till I read here that the game is finally playable again.
as soon as first screen appears after loading i get
[IMG]https://tso.safeunderdark.com/upload...8.34092069.png[/IMG]
I then have to reload.
and again it triggers , something is broken for me.
same for me
Today's update was a small improvement for me, but too many things are still broken for me to come back.
https://prnt.sc/1iymmyg
My specialists have disappeared - as you can see by the scroll bar, all my generals and explorers are missing. https://prnt.sc/1iymmyg
I found that a refresh worked and i was able to send all my explorers out.
Woo Hoo [not]!
I could NOT get to the test system as it kept giving me a "connection to server has been lost" error while initialising the game... Then the graphic of the settler would swing his hammer at the PC until I got another message to click ok to reset.
This has just been implemented into production, and now I get the same joyous connection lost sequence and no game! Same as Harlequin_1963 above
<sigh>!!!! Gotta love "progress".
'Not loading my profile, then Man With Hammer
as soon as first screen appears after loading i get
[IMG][/IMG]
I then have to reload.
and again it triggers , something is broken for me.
'
I cant Log into the game and have Rebooted Computer, cleaned memory, logged out, Logged in many times. Man with hammer and message to click ok to reset.
UPDATE:
Eventually , having tried Opera GX ( cos it was best before update ) , Edge , and then back to Chrome , I got in on third attempt ....... I don't know if this is therefore
1. Browser problem
2. Just a server side problem
or
3. murphys law at work.
UI improvement was the biggest issue, and has been improved greatly : Good Job BB !!!!
lol. My island is underwater now. Was this the Global Warming Update?
Interesting point!Quote:

We do not know how modular they have coded, or how rigorously they tested each module, or if they have done it all in spaghetti-style with long, rambling code and half-baked error routines.
Based on the lack of information we get, how vague "plans" are when they are published, and how little forward advice we get of implementations (if any), it would seem that the coding might well be spaghetti-styled and "fixes here" are "implementing problems there"......
I have the "Connection Issue" dialog box, followed by "Connection to server lost" pop up box .. regardless of browser used.
Exactly the same as others have noted in this thread.
the game still looks like *hit, you still need a telescope to see the graphics, it's still slow, and i mean molasses slow…
i can't believe that with 8 extra months on top of the 4 years bb had to port the game to unity, this is the end product, Christ…
ubisoft really needs to clean house, these dumb incompetent devs should not be allowed near a computer.
i'll be back in 10 years time, maybe by then the game will at least load at a regular speed like it used to.
and please people, stop thanking bb for useless updates, this game is broken, and all due to incompetence, so don't thank other people for mediocrity, lest you be rewarded with garbage like this unity port
Game is more playable now, big improvement!
First 20-30 minutes was fairly ok then the zone refresh kicked in and was triggered every 30-60 secs and game was more or less unplayable again since the game hangs when zone is refreshed. But I guess a relog will solve it until it happens again.
All in all a successful update in my opinion.
Next update maybe things will be even better :)
hi BB dont know if this work but now i can no login to game i have cleared cache and tried diffrent browsers but all the same it like my account has been erased . enjoy your life prnt.sc/1iz9gkb
Level 1? connection lost? no avatar name .. OMG seriously? thats the maintenance?.
My questbook keep disappearing, I need to reload game every time that happens and it happens every time..
Very annoying if you do a (guild)quest and your quest is complete 'quest complete' click it but nothing happens í ½í¸ª
