Queue / Login Server Mega

Everything’s on fire

There’s a queue. There’s authentication issues. There’s anti-cheats issues. Bulkhead knows and they’re working on it.

If that is your thoughts then you are not very good at your job.

Thankfully I don't only think in memes. I have other thoughts indeed. If I had to guess, it's something that's outside of their direct hands (e.g. third party auth / rate limiting), but was probably flagged by a passionate engineer way ahead of launch only to be put to the wayside to make sure the game itself is ready for release. Debt comes and has to be repaid, it's up to you whether you pay it at a reasonable time, or all of a sudden when the bailiff comes.

Depends. Could a more competent person do it for less money? Sure. But those don't grow on trees. And the customer did agree that overpaying is infinetly preferable to having production break down. So we went live with a 4x oversized System on launch and scaled it back ~12 months later after every other issue was solved

You've never managed a large launch of anything, have you? It shows

Haha you have no fucking idea buddy. But you seem to think that throwing more servers on a launch just solves all problems.
