What's going on?
This test will not have a lot of new features this time around- our developers are working on infrastructure optimizations to ensure smooth operations. We expect some more surprises for you in the tests beyond this, naturally.
Rolling restarts
Remember the rolling restarts from last test? (In a nutshell, it’s where we hand player sessions over between game servers.) We’ll be testing that more this time. You may see reconnection notices when it happens as you get handed off to another game server, we expect this to be smooth, but let us know if you see any problems. (Worst case, you would be logged out if there was a problem, but we don’t anticipate that.)
Projects clarification
Have you been wondering about the rewards for projects building Savannah type streets? The different projects have different rewards and have no standard template- we are mixing it up. If you were expecting energy or street creator trophy pieces, those haven’t been in the rewards, which is why you haven’t seen them.
Subway!
Remember the subways with stuck window animations? Well, we’re pretty sure we fixed that one, but if it doesn’t animate, give us a shout.
Update- subway windows are still a problem!
Lag Issues
While we fixed the lag issue loading West and East Spice for last test, there were some other reports loading again. If there are problems loading (like, you get to a certain percentage before it stops), we may attempt open a session with a different version of the game client.
Known Issues
We are compiling main known issues over in this sticky Bug Forum post.
