Bunker not working? (sticky?) | Forums

[flooodi]

I can get to the bunker and started succesfully 1 showdown last evening... (3hours). rest of the showdowns just disappear.

Hour ago, i got started 2 showdowns by tapping the "new showdown" button continously about minute...
1st one is 3hour showdown, but the other is 5hour showdown.
both have 3 tickets, with 45min regeneration.

But this is not working correctly.

I logged out of uplay (again) and left it for a few hours - logged back in and bunker is now working.

got into the new season.

started two showdowns, went to start a third but it costs 5 tix !?

and showdowns last 5 hours! far too long.

won't be playing much in this season.

oh well

With the problem that "new showdown" fails, anyone know what happens to the chips taken over from the previous showdown (either bonus chips after winning or remaining half of chips after losing)? Added later or lost forever?

Hello everyone,

I don't know, do we really need to discuss the fact that it takes time to the servers to sync the data after every single Season?
It's a fact, it won't change because of technical limitation.

Now, if we want to be productive, we could say that it would be a good idea not to start a new Season right after the last one, so that we could avoid this situation... Just throwing ideas here

Yes we do, because the game provides no information about what is wrong with the bunker when it's not working. It just says the bunker is not working, try again later. Some information about why it's not working and how long it may take would be helpful and could prevent some discussion.

And something can only be a fact if there is a way to verify it, how do you know it's a fact? Do you have proof, or can we visit RedLynx

I know you weren't here in the early days of the bunker but I don't remember this happening every season in like seasons 1-10. It's just been happening these past few seasons. So yeah, we'd like to talk about it.

They are right; its only been the last few seasons that its taken 1/2 day or more to get the awards distributed and the new season truly started. Biggest quirk... the timer on the new season has apparently already started! When its a 28 day season, thats no big deal... but should RL do another 7 day Blitz season, and people lose 1/2 day or more of those 7 days... you will see some pretty unhappy folks (but not me; I never play Blitz if humanly possible).

So yeah Charly, please find out an answer if you can. If this is the "new normal", thats okay... we just want to know.

Or if the servers can take the load, just close the bunker for the 12hours to get it back to it's feet.
But please make some announcements about it, a popup when entering the bunker that says "prepairing the next season, coundown 11hours 58minutes"
So people will know it's not working yet. And the season timer also could start after the countdown, not before.

I asked, and hope I'll get a more detailed explanation, but it's a server node problem (I'm terrible at this things, sorry about that).
They explained it to me as to a 5 years old, so let me share what I got from it ^^

There is one node handling the Season's change, so when a player connects to the servers via another one, he can't access the Bunker.
When we had less players, like a couple of month ago, it wasn't an issue, but now the traffic of players the servers have to handle is much more important.

I can't say if it's the new normal from now on, but the team is looking into it.
