• Wipe with next update?
    14 replies, posted
I am hoping no wipe will be needed for this next update and they go to forced wipe every 2 weeks but im wondering if we will need to wipe with next update, I know it is a little early but.....
If they have to then they have to, it's for the sake of perfecting terrain generation/bug fixing in that area. I'd rather it be working and working well then people spawning at uneven levels/quirky weird terrain, etc.
They only wipe when it's nesaccary. Yet... I noticed on Twitter, that garry wiped the dev server due to "shitty performances". So no idea if they are going to wipe any other official server as well.
It would be nice to continue our current maps, but seeing how there are currently issues with maps, I would suspect a wipe is needed to implement fixes to the drawing system. Currently, the roads, and (especially) bridges are just pretty messed up, often leading to nowhere. Map sizes over 5000 are currently experiencing horrendous bugs with people spawning under the map or high in the air, problems placing building items, and terrible stability issues. I don't think this can be fixed without a wipe. But hopefully I'm wrong.
Think so yeah.. Also if the "shitty performance" was effecting the dev server.. It also effects the offial ones i assume? Since the same bugs and stuff are running free as well. I'd guess they'll send out a wipe as well, but on Thursday probably.
Official servers seem to be running fine (Seattle at least) - will be interested to find out if they are going to wipe again.
Official Texas is running like crap.
[QUOTE=l0cke;47298812]Texas[/QUOTE] I think I found your problem... :dance:
I'm experiencing some lagspikes as well though.. I know heavily build areas do tend to give a spike but running freely gives the same, every now and then. I guess we can expect a wipe tomorrow (or atleast i think).
Shame, I'd got a good start and grouped up with some people. Guess I'll spend today shooting my bullets.
I wish they would give us like 24hour advanced notice so I can run my wipe party, hate to run the wipe party and then not have to wipe.
Rustafied seems to think that the next update won't require a wipe, so it'll be up to your server owner.
I'm talking about official servers. As Garry wiped his dev server for some issues.. If he did that to get rid of those issues, it will require a wipe on all official servers too. To implement those fixes. [B]Yet[/B] i'm not sure about it, i'm just assuming!! [U]Edit:[/U] [url]http://www.rustafied.com/[/url] He talks about it. He considers to wipe it, yet he's not sure about it either.
If they were testing procgen7 on official servers and it didn't work, that would require constant wipes. They were hoping to roll that out this week, but looks like it's not happening. If this patch only has a temporary fix for the game breaking procgen6 issues, then they may not require a wipe as Rustafied claims.

The OP didn't specify official servers. Also from Rustafied: "So far, all signs point to no wipe being forced tomorrow" Admins can wipe whenever they want. Sometimes they are forced to, and it sounds like maybe they aren't being forced to tomorrow.
