Unplayable

[mannyfresh 1]

I understand this is an alpha and there are going to be problems. With that being said there are some major issues going on.

Mainly the fact that it takes 20+ minutes to get a response from the server, and when I finally get a response I'm in debug forest unable to move.

Is this a universal problem? Is there anything I can do to correct the issue? What's the cause of this?

I really enjoyed playing the game and would like to be able to at least log in. Any tips appreciated.

Thanks

If you don't go through to "requesting data from server" within 5 minutes, try another server. Central system has more or less recovered now, but individual servers themselves are effectively getting DDoS'd from people trying to connect. So many people were trying to connect to the NY 1-4 servers before that I got constant packet drops when i tried to debug why RDP stopped working.

Thanks. I have been trying to connect to server's with small openings (48/50 people, etc) which is most likely my problem.

Appreciate the response and the time spent creating the mod.

As a general rule, US servers that aren't full or very close to full are broken. Your best bet is to spam enter/space on a full server to get in, which essentially creates the problem rocket is referring to. :/

Every server I join I'm in debug forest with no items. People said you can run out of it. People say if I wait long enough I'll spawn where I originally logged off. I haven't been able to find much information about it. I hear people say you can run out but not if you get all your items back when you make it out.

what is needed in general is a simple queue system so that the spam of requests are removed and people can actually get on the servers they play on regularly.

And dont make it auto-join but make it a proper queue where you get in line and wait for your turn to join instead.
