HansimUnglueck Posted October 13, 2024 Share Posted October 13, 2024 Short post to state the matter: Don't bother playing on EU servers if you ever wanna reach late game. The servers will just crash after a certain time, this happened from time to time especially after the Webber update and the incredible bad handling of spiders. But this has come to ends where it's impossible to enjoy. The server I just played on lagged and crashed after we killed Crabking. Yesterday, another public EU server crashed as well, right after farming several shadow atriums. PLEASE, FIX YOUR GOD DAMN (EU) SERVERS. OR JUST GET RID OF THEM ANYWAYS.

DegenerateFurry Posted October 13, 2024 Share Posted October 13, 2024 Klei servers are really not suitable for playing anything other than early-to-mid-game. Since they reset when the game updates, when they've been empty for too long, or two minutes after everyone dies, you have to do everything in one go and that's assuming they don't crash like yours did. Consider yourself to even have Klei servers you can play on, though. Right now, the US ones aren't even showing up for me. US West ones have been down for weeks and now it looks like the US East ones are down too.

And Klei doesn't even bother. This is not my first post regarding this matter. I never got an answer and I will probably be ignored again. The way they handle these things really shows how little **** they give about their public playerbase. Server could be handled very differently: With save files in case of crash, so stuff isn't lost permanently when anything goes off, either via update or crash. If Klei servers are meant to end after first Autumn, then they should just add a feature where server automatically resets. If it's not possible to thrive for any late game content on public servers, then I really don't get what their purpose is right now considering they don't add anything breathtakingly new to early or mid game anyways.

nimzowitsch10 Posted October 13, 2024 Share Posted October 13, 2024 it is impossible to go late game on klei servers because of how bad they crash/lag. it's been this way for years now. I've asked them for a save feature in case the server crash but for over 3 years they haven't done anything. Simply put, klei will never do anything about their public servers unfortunately.

Maybe its a money reason? They cant afford to fix the severs or they're just too busy with other stuff to fix them.

Yeah, honestly, I am starting to wonder about Klei's unresponsiveness lately. Between their very poor handling of the servers and their total silence on the issue of not being able to play worlds you made online offline/the other way around, something's up and it's not good. 2 minutes ago, Wormboi said: Maybe its a money reason?

DST has a thriving community market they get a cut of every sale from as well as a skins store, and it's a pretty popular game globally, and it's not even their only game. Hosting a handful of servers per region is not that expensive.

What I don't get is why they continue to run terrible servers. If they're unwilling or unable to fix them, then they might as well shut them down and everyone will continue to use player servers. At this point, it makes sense to have official servers for beta content, and that's about it.

I wouldn't doubt It's a money issue public servers are free and they techincally have no incentive to take dev time away from content and the like to work on servers. 2 minutes ago, Bumber64 said: I'm pretty sure those were reasons given for Forge/Gorge, at least.

Because most people who use those servers would be very upset as most of them don't care about them lasting long term anyway.

Its not that they don't care but that they are paying for cheap servers that can reset at any time, it would be a decent expense If klei had to pay for that many servers on a good hosting service. I don't understand why you don't play on a community server, you can request for help regarding griefers and get save files. 8 hours ago, DegenerateFurry said: I really, really highly doubt that it's a money issue.

Hosting a handful of servers per region is not that expensive. They have been saying that it is a money issue multiple times in the past. It's not cheap to host as many servers as they do when they are always full so that means it would actually need enough resources to not lag. I don't want to look for the thread but it was explained that they use a very cheap hosting service where the host may shut down the server at any time and players lose progress, servers don't have dedicated resources to them but shared. It really isn't profitable for them to host public servers so in my opinion they should shut down official servers If they aren't going to pay for a good host or have their own machines for servers. They "advertise" their servers so others are losing out on players and their servers are full of griefers and it only brings negative threads like these as no one will ever be satisfied by these servers.
