Wolcen Continues To Push Back Online Play As The Devs Work To Fix Server Issues
Launch days rarely go as smoothly as planned. Some games have it way better than others, while some, like Wolcen Studios’ recently-released optional co-op ARPG like Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, are bogged down with one problem after another.
Since the game released last week, the game has been plagued by severe server issues rendering the game’s online mode unplayable. The devs released a hotfix last Friday which only made matters worse.
“After applying a hotfix last Friday, users reported that their characters were missing, their stashes emptied, and their endgame progression wiped.
Immediately, we took the decision to shut down servers to prevent this from happening to a large amount of players while we find a way to fix it.
This issue was caused by a too large amount of requests leading the database to drop. We contacted our partners and looked for a solution with them, but that implied rolling back to a previous save of the database shortly before the hotfix.”
Fixing the database, however, led to more issues that forced the developers to push back the ETA for the game’s online mode. “We want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” said the devs. “[We] assure you that we're working around the clock to fix everything and ensure that you will have a pleasant experience when the Online mode comes back.”
That being said, the game seems to be doing quite well. Well, at least the offline part is.
