God Dag Vikings!

Finally we are able to provide you some News about the upcoming update and the already half-announced Server wipe.

We had some issues with a 3rd-party Plugin which we are using for the housing in-game. Within this Plugin there was a bug which caused some major issues and finally we got an update for it.

Unfortunately the new version is not compatible at all to the existing one, so we have to wipe all the servers.

The good part is, that we could solve the issues with the housing and with the wipe, we are able to restructure the servers!

New server structures

• 5x EU PVP Server (DE)
• 5x EU PVE Server (DE)
• 5x EU PVP Server (EN)
• 5x EU PVE Server (EN)
• 2x EU PVP Server (FR)
• 1x EU PVP Server (PL)
• 1x EU PVP Server (IT)
• 1x EU PVP Server (ES)
• 4x NA PVP Server (EN)
• 4x NA PVE Server (EN)
• 2x NA PVP Server (ES)
• 2x NA PVE Server (ES)

The Russian, Latin American and Asian server will stay the same.

At the moment we don't have any further information about OCE Servers, it's still in consideration.

When will it happen?

The update will be published at midnight (CET)/4 pm (PST).

As soon as Steam recognized it, the servers will start to pull the update and install it automatically.

So it might take some time until all the servers are updated and wiped.

We are really sorry that we have to wipe the servers.

We tried a lot of scenarios, but there is nothing we can change on it, since the systems are just not compatible.

What's next?

We are still having some issues regarding desyncs in combats.

But we already found the reason for and will push a fix with the next patch.

Your,

Valnir Rok Team

God Dag Vikings!

Unfortunately we still have no fix for the issue, but we changed our backup routine and now every hour a backup will be created.
If the server is experiencing again some issues with the externally developed Module, we can restore a shorter time frame.

Stay tuned!

Your Valnir Rok Team

God Dag!

We are experiencing some issues with an external developed Model for the structures.

Our developers are working together with our external Partner to solve the issue as fast as possible.

As soon as we have more information about it, we will keep you updated.

Your Valnir Rok Team

Hey n0xx  
we are in discussion about getting servers on the east coast as well.
If there will be servers in central of the USA is not decided yet.

Please let me know if the game gets unplayable cause of high ping or bad connection, so we can have a look at it.

Depends on how much Australians will play the game and how good/bad the ping is.

But we will monitor it and act according to the needs

Hi Ethan

At the moment we will not open australian servers, but for the beginning you can play on US Servers.

The ping shouldn't be too bad.

• Fix: Harvesting tree and rocks should no longer randomly cancel anymore
• Fix: Weird behavior of melee attack when spamming melee attacks should be gone
• Fix: Player no longer continues jumping if UI is focused directly after a jump
• Updated Recipes
