Pre-alpha test week-end meetup

Battlescape
1

Flavien mentioned on Discord that he hopes that this weekend will be a good stress test of the current alpha build of Battlescape. Well, here is what he actually said…

To increase our chances of making his wish come true I suggest that as many of us as possible agree to meet up in the prototype at the same time. Here’s the time I am proposing:

Saturday 28th January

US West (PST) 11am
US East (EST) 2pm
UK (GMT) 7pm
EU West (CET) 8pm
EU East (EET) 9pm

Of course there will probably be a fair few players on all weekend, but if we can maximise the players at this particular time I think it would be a lot of fun for all of us. Until the server crashes but hey :wink:

We’ll be using the Battlescape Discord server for communication during this event:

Hope to see you there!

I’m down to crash a server at 11am with some coffee.

wish i could make those times…but most likely my game time will be Eastern times in the evenings only. Look forward to playing! =)

I go to my fiancee’s house every weekend which is great but means I won’t be around.
I’ll hope to come back on Sunday night rather than Monday, so I’ll be on around 10pm GMT on Sunday.

I’ll definitely be online :smiley:

Hope you all have fun! Don’t crash things too much :stuck_out_tongue: I’ll be away so I won’t get to see all the Alphas slamming into planets at warp, but I look forward to hearing how it all goes. :smiley:

The alpha-backer week-end test now has started. All alpha backers should now have access. If you’re still having issues, let us know on the forums or on Discord ( see FAQ topic at the top of the forums ). Enjoy !

A live stream recorded yesterday:

The server crashed once yesterday after an hour or so; I quickly uploaded a small fix, and it hasn’t crashed again since then. Peak concurrent players was at 36.

Yes, I wonder too. Nobody shared a live today ?

@Gorignack had a twitch stream:

I recorded some earlier stuff as well, will put together a short edit tomorrow.

Love the camera shots. Did you really record it in 4K ? Unfortunately framerate seemed quite choppy. Ideally we’d be able to record the same video at a constant 60 fps. Otherwise great work, mind if I reshare it on our social media ?

Thanks Flav,

sure, no problem… it’s fan fade, so should be fine.

On Discourse last night Flavien said the current peak concurrent users is about 40.

I thought it would be more as over 800 people have alpha access or greater.
