We do have a known bug in Freeports at the moment where you'll stop gaining experience points.

13 hours ago, Marian Manson said:Why I don't get experience points at the beginning SP game ?
It's actually a bug with Freeports atm, we do have a fix submitted to certification (and we'll be releasing it today for PC, as it's clientside only). Have just posted this thread in the bug section:
I know this ruins the new player experience in these game modes atm so hopefully these workarounds can help you manage until we get the fix through certification!

From another thread:
If you are a Comcast customer, their XFi Advanced Security features block the requests from coming into the Xbox for the official server. You need to allow these requests or disable the feature.
-
I've followed up with our hosts for some additional information to help us run tests to identify what's precisely happening here, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
-
We'll have it fixed in an upcoming patch

Hey guys, looking to gather more info on this framerate bug, I've made a forum to collect info here:
If we could redirect relevant discussion to that topic, would be much appreciated.

Restarted the game with no party chat, and the game no longer lagged..
whaaa? care to explain this GS?
There is a bug we're investigating atm which can cause the frames to get really bad, folks are posting various workarounds to sort it out -- may not be related to party chat but just restarting the game that had fixed it.

Ahoy Pathfinders,
We have some good news, and sorry to say some bad news. The good news is that we've been informed that the issue is resolved (context), which will allow us to now do everything that needs to be done in order to get ATLAS released and available for you. The bad news is that unfortunately, this process will still take a few hours which means we're currently looking at a new delay. We understand how frustrating this is, everyone is doing everything they can to get this out the door as soon as possible. Once we have a more precise timeline, we'll let you know with a corresponding timezone link so you can see when it should be available in your region. This means that the Official Networks also will not be opened up for a few more hours. We’ll keep you posted throughout this process.
Answers to the recent FAQ from the Community:
- EU PvP, EU PvE, and NA PvE will be launching simultaneously when the game is available on Xbox. When we have a precise timeline, we'll update this post with a link to other timezones so you can see when the launch happens for you.
- ATLAS will be available on Xbox Game Preview for $29.99 USD (£24.99/€29.99)
- The size of the game on Xbox will be 80gb
- Players will be able to host Unofficial Xbox and Crossplay servers via Nitrado. This means that players can host unofficial crossplay servers via Nitrado.
- The Xbox One X version currently does not support HDR but we will be adding it into the game with a patch later this week, with a bundle of GPU and CPU improvements for all platforms which are currently in testing.
- The game does include the standalone map, Blackwood.
- ATLAS has been enhanced for Xbox One X.

Preloading isn't available for Xbox Game Preview titles (or if it is now... it won't be for us )

Afraid not, the host controls the grid which is loaded.

10 minutes ago, boomervoncannon said:I’m still confused on a point. If you needed to do a wipe for technical reasons sure, I’m with you. But once you need to do that, in the long term will the 10 day head start pc pvp players are getting really help iterate the Xbox build that much more? I’m asking because even though I have little sympathy with their complaint or the soundness of its u derlying argument, as a layman this approach does come off as perhaps arbitrarily punitive. Are you saying definitively that the additional 10 days of testing data pc players will provide during this time is needed for long term success?
I see what you mean, I'll clarify. It's more for the immediate term than the long term, my bad. We'll be carrying out internal testing with our Xboxes over the next 10 days on this network and it'll allow us to deal with any fatal errors or issues that could crop it. Unfortunately, we can only get so much data from our current internal processes & the PTR, so experiencing the game on the console in a live environment will be highly beneficial. Anything that does come up, we'll have the time to iterate on and get any changes in as necessary for a possible Day One patch on consoles. It'll ensure that the new friends joining us have a much smoother experience. That in turn poses the team to see what we'll need to focus on next, whether it's continuing to iron out issues from the launch, or whether we can begin to work on the Roadmap (and the phases of that).
-
We understand the frustration behind the decision, it's not falling on deaf ears -- we expected this response to the decision, however, the choice was for technical reasons. The extra time allows us to continue to iterate on the game, in particular, the Xbox build. It also allows us to gather more real-world data in order to improve the experience in the
longnear term.- 2

Just now, lordkhan4444 said:are you planning on bringing back EU pvp? or are you gona merge the servers?
Nope, we're not merging any servers. As the announcement says, we're relaunching NA PVP and then the other 3 networks will be relaunched on the 8th of October when ATLAS is available on Game Preview is available. The team plans to use this extra window to continue to iterate on the game and take care of any technical issues which could arise.

That post is still accurate. We are planning to take down the servers, wipe them and relaunch NA PvP at midnight EST. Approximately 4 hours from now. If anything changes, we'll provide an update when we have one, and closer to the launch time.

Sorry, but this is a bit of a joke.

This is where we're at currently:
- Team are cracking on with the Xbox and upcoming major patch
- We're hoping to have another PTR round featuring some wild pirates maybe as soon as this weekend (more on this later!)
- Unlikely to see a live-game patch/2x this weekend because of the above focus
And beyond that, we'll begin starting work on Erik's roadmap which we discussed in our live (not recorded ) stream, if you hadn't read about it, you can here:
There isn't much else to share beyond that (for now )

Quite a lot of back and forth in this thread about 2x events and when the best time to hold them is! I've always personally been a fan of having more variety in the events and giving them more spread over days, so it's not just the weekends and it's not just the same rates (how about bonuses for killing SoTD too?); it's something we've spoken about previously but have yet to act upon and it may be a while until we cross those bridges anyway.
As for 2x this weekend with a live game patch, it's not looking likely. We're still working on putting some things together for a PTR update featuring some wild pirates which will hopefully be in your hands this weekend.

Not at this moment, the team is currently cracking on with the Xbox release and the next mega update. In the future, when the new roadmap begins, we'll definitely be looking at supporting special days/holidays with in-game events.
-
We've got our heads down at the moment working on some things, so expect it to be a bit more quiet than usual for a while.
As for 2x weekends, they aren't guaranteed to happen every weekend. In this case, we were working on a build to deploy (perhaps to the PTR again too with some pretty critical changes) but it needed more time internally, so we may end up going out with it later during the week and we'll discuss whether that includes a 2x or not.

You'll need to gather all the Power Stones on the map to be able to get through it.
-
Would you be able to show me the full callstack? You'll be able to find it in this folder:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Saved\Logs
You'll be looking for a .crashstack file, it opens in notepad. You can paste the contents at www.paste.bin.com / here directly / upload it as an attachment.

2 hours ago, Percieval said:Jat made it clear in DM Discord that SP is not cared about too much at this point.
By this, Percieval means, he asked for a feature request which I responded to him: Possible sure but not certain on whether it's something we'd likely do at this time, but will note it down as a request.
Which is par for the course with a lot of the requests we receive? Is said -suggestion- possible? Sure. Is it something we plan to do? We'll have to consider whether it fits into our plans or whether we can justify allocating the resources towards it at the present time. Are there other things we need to work on that take more priority? Most likely.
Single Player and the other game modes won't be forgotten, they'll grow as the multiplayer game does, however, our design/balance will be based on the multiplayer version of the game, and we'll be targetting fixes towards that mode (some of which will impact SP, some of which may not because those problems may not exist).

Are you playing on Blackwood? Just identified an issue with our recent update. We're uploading a fix right now but it'll require you to restart your steam clients.

Alrighty, news is out there now. Probably no surprise to most that Dollie and myself have been working on ARK for sometime now. We're glad to finally be able to introduce some of ATLAS new crew members, including their Community folk.
It was a pleasure sailing the seas with y'all and we're looking forward to the changes that are coming from the team.
