What causes crashing on Klei Endless/Normal servers? (And some suggestions)


Recommended Posts

Klei servers have been suddenly crashing a lot lately, and it's usually around day 130, (sometimes later on.) It's to the point I rarely see Klei servers go past Day 300 anymore. The most common servers to crash based on my observation would be in the US, but it's possible I didnt see them crash elsewhere, but let me know. Might just have to do with the server quality, but reasons could also be in game. Without proper moderation I would think a kind of public log for the servers would be useful so players don't have to blindly guess what is making them crash or if it's even their fault. If a server does crash, rolling back a couple days instead of regenerating the servers completely would also be nice and then regenerating if it crashes again soon after. The current fail-safe feels kind of drastic; The server already resets after each update (and that's plenty). If there's someone in charge of the servers who has a general idea of what's going on I would please like to have a response for everyone on the matter. Thank you.

Some may wonder why I care this much about public servers this much, well here's why: Many players enjoy meeting completely new people and there's currently not a lot of servers (especially Endless) that can do that to the extend of Klei servers. Some don't have the RAM/internet to host their own servers and this is their only way of really playing with other people. The ability to do endgame content on a Klei server is near impossible now as the server is like a ticking timebomb. Some genuinely care about the sovereign environment as well as the votes of who to kick/world settings is more based on democracy. Even if it's abusable, it's still balanced nicely for what it does. I do understand maintaining servers can be expensive though, especially to the amount Klei has. I heard it's also why there's not any events since Forge season two. For those reasons, I thank Klei for doing the service of still hosting while making the game still so free to enjoy. Take care everyone.
