ACE Is Back and Running on Dedicated Servers!
Hello Spearhead honorary members,
As you know, we've been really focused on improving our online tech and actually making Arena: Cyber Evolution work on dedicated servers in the last few weeks.
The feature is not fully ready yet, but it’s good enough to be tested and debugged!
This dedicated server architecture is meant to fix/improve the following issues:
Lag: Your experience will no longer be affected by the host players.
Stability: Will fix abrupt match ending issues happening when the host player quits the match or lobby.
Competition fairness: No player is the host anymore - which was an unfair advantage.
This technology will overall help us to provide ACE players with a much more solid and clean gameplay experience.
While the feature is still in development, we have pushed an early version of it out and we are ready to receive feedback & data that will help us to debug it, which we will do intensively for the next 3 weeks.
You can help us by taking a look at the pre-release version of ACE and let us know of any bug/problem you encounter on our Steam forum.
As of now, the target date for the official launch of the dedicated server build is planned for late November.
It’s been a hardcore topic but we're getting there!
Current list of known major issues:
Arena: Cyber Evolution will be down until November 6th
In preparation for the Pre-Release ACE Dedicated Server Fall Update, we have to temporarily "break" the game while we transfer to the new Store setup. The update you will get is a pre-loaded version of the Pre-Release Fall Update but you will not be able to play the game until November 6th.
Apologies for the inconvience and thanks for your patience. Hope to see you in-game to help us test and make sure we have a solid Fall Update.
In the meantime, here's a preview of what's coming on November 6th:
This version is intended for testing only and is NOT FINAL.
Full release of the Fall Update is scheduled for late November.
Included in this release:
- DEDICATED SERVERS!
- Complete UI overhaul!
- New sounds!
- Gameplay ergonomy changes!
- New Runner!
- New Chest system!
ACE Update v0.6 Notes and Announcement
After one month of receiving valuable feedback from the community, we have identified many, many improvements that need to be done to bring ACE to next level. Some of these changes are massive and require many weeks of work.
We have been releasing updates on a weekly basis, but this is quite time-consuming and affects the quality of the work being done on the aforementioned massive changes. The next Steam push is planned for end of October and we are more than determined to make it count. Hence we have decided to interrupt weekly updates so we can fully concentrate on these core improvements and really make a meaningful push!
See you soon... on dedicated servers!
P.S. If you are interested in seeing and testing the daily updates to ACE, follow the instructions here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/285580/discussions/0/558749824989666675/.
