Kyp [LDEV] Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yeah Yeah, I know, we've been out of beta for a long time. Well, if you're here you either came in from our facebook/twitter posts, and you're interested in trying it out or you're not. We need testers, it will be best if you experience(d) frequent crashing during/when you played regularly. We're going to ask you to essentially stress test our public test realm which has been brought back up for this scenario. Please note that your characters all start fully leveled and with a basic set of level 8/9 gear as appropriate to get you through. What we're looking to see is for you to stress it. If you're interested, please sign up below. The more the merrier folks, we need to try to load this thing to the gills if possible so we can capture some performance and behavior logging. At any rate, we look forward to testing with you if you're willing. Thanks to everyone that can/will make themselves available. -E&B Emulator Development Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orionpax Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I will test tonight and tomorrow with multiple accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, the way that we collect data from PTR testing only works with one account logged in at a time. I'm going to send you a private message with instructions to get into the PTR. Thank you for stepping forward to help us out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarg Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Time permitting I'd be happy to help test. I have noticed an idle disconnection issue that is much more prevalent on my windows7 machines than on windows 10, can check that out. Also is this more than just turning off prototype reorder in the net-7 loader, which is a sure-fire way to cause regular gate/login crashes? I already have a host of well geared level 150 characters on my 9 game accounts, and can do multibox stress testing too. I'm hoping they can jsut be cloned over rather than having to spend time setting up whatever gear you supply test server characters with. BTW I've noticed galaxy tours are pain to do with gate crashes, something else to test alongside just trade runs. -Z Edited April 4, 2019 by Zarg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PTR server and Sunrise server are completely isolated from each other and your account/characters cannot be copied across the servers. When you create a character on the PTR server, though, you are given max level, max hull, all skills (without having to do missions), and a set of Level 8/9 gear to get you up and running; there's really not much that you have to do to get characters set up. As my previous post stated, the way that we collect data from the PTR isn't really friendly for multi-boxing and would likely require somewhat significant changes to your multibox scripts to still allow us to collect data from problems that occur. If this is still something that you would be interested in helping us with, though, then please send me a private message on the forums and I'll set you up. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarg Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm cool with that. I dont really use scripts for multiboxing -- just really good at doing it by hand. -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanne Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm up for a round of testing. Have been getting locked up on gates and stations left and right this week. I can do one account or multibox without scripts, either works. Hook me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Thanks, everyone. Remember the more the merrier, all hours. The characters on the new server as Cipher pointed out won't be keepable, but we could put an end to this CTD once and for all if we get what we need. That said either Cipher or myself (or both) will send you a PM with details (if you haven't received already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempestNWK Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 don't spose we could run both live and PTR at the same time, or will that interfere with testing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarg Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I was actually running both live and PTR for a while last night, can confirm it works well. It takes a little time to get set up once you get in, as you have to explore sectors to travel around, as well as fix settings like action key buttons, key bindings, and of course stocking up on ammo (for the ammo users).

Evermore [LDEV] Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I for one played with 3 other players each running 1 toon. Aside from 4 people not being able to do a raid, we had no crash/lag/disconnect issues in a combat moment of 3 waves of fish from cooper (all at once) it was actually fun. I have high hopes this will propel this project to the next level of development, as we will not be riddled with the latency complaints that have plagued us thus far. Ever More In Search Of.....

Cipher [DEV] Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 We've made a lot of progress on patching bugs out but we still need more people actively flying around to be sure we've tackled all of them. If helping us test is something you're interested in then please don't hesitate to reply to this thread or send me a message on the Forums and I'll get you on the PTR server ASAP. Thanks!

Teuk Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I frequently get crashes when gating and docking or even just sitting for too long. I am willing to help test but I am not to savy but willing, weeknights this coming week and next weekend if need be. Thanks for all you folks do for the game.

Cipher [DEV] Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 The PTR is now open for anyone to register and test out. If you're interested in trying out characters at max level with all skills and some decent gear while helping us test then come register and hang out on the PTR server for a bit!
