[SA] Known Issues: Instability

Greetings, Saviors.

Over the past few months, there have been several reports of instability from players in the [SA] Silute server that we have been attempting to address through various approaches. We would like to continue asking for your cooperation in investigating these issues until a definitive solution is found.

In April, after several reports of instability in South America, we performed a maintenance extension in [SA] Silute where we moved the server to a different provider and upgraded its capacity and performance (link here).

After that, we received new reports of players in the region for whom the symptoms of instability persisted, so we decided to run a ping test for [SA] Silute players to gather more information and hopefully find the source of the issue (link here).

One phenomenon we managed to identify with this process was that network conditions are less favorable to players accessing from Chile. This, unfortunately, is not entirely related to the performance of the server, and a solution would depend also on the corresponding internet service provider.

Because of how pervasive these instability issues have proven to be in South America, we would like to ask any players in the region who may be experiencing them to submit a Support ticket containing as much detailed information as possible (your location, PC specifications, internet connection, etc.).

Since last week’s scheduled maintenance we have been closely monitoring the state of all regional servers, but we have yet to find out a reason for the lag and instability that affect [SA] Silute, as it shows no major difference in terms of performance from its North American counterpart, for example. For this reason, it is very important that we collect detailed and accurate information on your gameplay environment that could provide us with clues to the source of the issues.

As previously announced, during the scheduled maintenance of June 5 we will be expanding and rearranging zones in [SA] Silute, which we hope will alleviate some of the symptoms of instability currently felt in the server. Do let us know if you notice any differences after the maintenance.

Thank you.
