After a brief hiatus to recharge our batteries, we dusted off the game and found a lot that could be much, much better. So for the past four months we've been quietly working on an update.
Server Stability Boost
One of our top priorities was addressing the random hiccups in the servers that were causing disruptions to the read/write process. This was leading to issues like connectivity problems, missing save game data, and a slew of other errors. The solution? We've migrated to new servers in October 2023, and they've been running smoothly ever since.
Multiplayer Fine-Tuning
Putting the spotlight on multiplayer, we've tackled any syncing peculiarities that might have been throwing a wrench into your adventures. Countless tweaks to RPCs and streaming data have been made to ensure a much improved multiplayer experience.
Gameplay Adjustments
Taking a step back, we immersed ourselves in the gameplay experience, something that can be a challenge during the whirlwind of early access. Detailed lists were compiled, addressing every aspect that needed attention. Drones received a comprehensive pass, the Map system underwent a significant overhaul, and creatures are now in their fifth iteration. From sound effects to animations, and interface feel to visual effects, we've meticulously fine-tuned it all.
Spaceship Travel in Multiplayer
For those exploring the cosmos in multiplayer, we've invested time in refining spaceship travel. While a brief load screen is inevitable for multiplayer networking reasons, we've rigorously tested transitions between worlds in both single and multiplayer modes.
We're in the final stages of wrapping up this update, which should be released shortly. We appreciate your continued support and patience as we work towards enhancing Osiris: New Dawn. Our goal is to provide a more polished and enjoyable experience for all players.
As always, thank you for being part of our community.
Warm regards,
The Fenix Fire Team
