If you’ve played an MMO, you’re probably very familiar with the feeling View of a queue, and wait for the game to tell you it’s your turn to get in on the action. Multiplayer games have server setups designed to avoid such scenarios, but high-profile MMO expansions tend to attract both returning and new fans, who tend to overload the servers on the first day of a release. This also applies to games like Final Fantasy XIV as it is for people like Destiny 2and Bungie has been preparing to launch its upcoming launch expansion, The final formfor some time now to avoid these problems on launch day.
In his most recent issue “This Week In determination
The start of Into the light shown last week Bungie However, the new server setup did not fulfill all tasks. As players rushed to log in and farm new weapons In Destiny 2‘S exciting new Horde mode, they encountered a known problem. In fact, some servers were almost at full capacity, over loading the available services and negatively impacting the game. Some players had trouble logging in or staying connected, while others received game rewards much later than they should. On the other hand, some of Bungie’s servers were at minimal capacity, meaning players who were lucky enough to be assigned to those servers had a relaxing experience in comparison. As Bungie puts it: “We discovered that the servers were not fully utilizing the available hardware resources.”
An “operating system misconfiguration and reporting issue” also caused problems with Bungie’s load balancer, which put a strain on servers that were already overloaded by the existing player distribution issue and the high number of players in a heavy traffic day. Although Into the Light had an easier launch than a full expansion, there were still some issues that Bungie is now addressing ahead of the big kahuna:The final form– arrives in June.
To that end, Bungie outlines five key issues it’s working on to ensure The Final Shape launches smoothly. They are as follows:
- Check the settings for each service that might be experiencing such an issue.
- Improved reporting to allow Bungie to monitor load balancing behavior.
- Running additional stress scenarios and adding greater test coverage to Bungie’s servers.
- Perform performance comparisons for servers running under different configurations.
- Re-evaluating Bungie’s capacity estimates to ensure the correct hardware is in place for launch.
My city Bungie has reached out for comment.
It makes sense for Bungie to be worried The final form and do everything we can to ensure that the expansion goes well. The studio has had a tough year after one lackluster expansion and a round of layoffs this destroyed the studio at a crucial time. Bungie, which was bought out by Sony but largely left to fend for itself, now faces the threat lose his independence If The final form doesn’t turn things around Destiny 2 and the studio. In the meantime, Bungie is also developing another game, a Extraction shooter revival of the Marathon seriesthat has delayed next to The final form At the end of last year. Suffice it to say, it’s crucial time for Bungie to set new standards and win back the favor of its fans.
