- Game requires further development - 8 June 2019
Hi everyone, Sorry about the delay. As you know, the servers had been unstable for quite a while (restart / shut down / unable to connect). While I was continuously fixing new reported bugs, there comes two major problems. Firstly, the network connection is not stable, some regions are experiencing large latency / unable to connect. The other one, there happen to be Hacks / malicious server attacks, which causes server to hang. After examination, they will take quite some time to be fixed. I have decided to remove the game from Early Access while I am doing the further development. I have contacted Steam to help me remove it, and will put it back up when everything is ready. All current player data are backed up for restoration when game is back. My sincere apology. Gui

- Server shutdown for new version updates! - 4 January 2019
Thank you for everyone's patient. The update procedure for multiple platforms at sametime is quite a challeange for me. The maintaince might take a while, and the review time for client files are hard to estimate. I have to shutdown the servers and interupt the games, sorry about that. The server will be back up within today, but older versions are not able to connect. Please be patient for the according patform to pass the new version review. Thank you for your support. Gui
- Europe Server Error (Dec. 10th) - 11 December 2018
Hi everyone, There were many strange errors occured (especially European Servre) since around 10th, such as: - Unable to create new account - Losing progress (level downgrade) ... I found out that the server was storage full and filled with 30G worth of logs. I forgot to clear the debug logs (actully I did not expect it was filled up so quickly), so that when the system attempt to write data it will malefunction. Now it's cleared and hopefully run smoothly. Now dig back into bug fixing, to try to get the patch up ASAP. Thanks. Gui
- In Game Store disabled - 26 November 2018
There are too many bugs. I am also sending a lot of resources for everyone to test. So there will be a purge when everything settle. There are a few purchases I have all recorded them and I will refund / recharge them after purge. Gui
- Server Cap Upgraded - 26 November 2018
I have just restarted the server and changed the cap setting. Everyone should not get "Server Full" any more. And there's a late weekend support package for everyone that created account. Check in-game mailbox. Gui
- Server Population Cap - 25 November 2018
Hello Everyone, I have noticed many players have experienced "Server Login Full" error. To clarify, it is a tempory setting, not intention of "Hunger Marketing". There are quite a few bugs, which I am not satisify to let everyone play the game. But on the other hand, I need some pioneer players to find more critical bugs. So I am limiting the server cap to a few hundred connections. "Thanks all the players that joined / waited in the test" What actully happened is, I have set a quite long time out for every connection. So if a player just shutdown the game without sign off - "Log out", they will hold up one space for 30 minutes - 1 hour. And these inactive accounts take up nearly half of the server cap. I am unable to re-configure everything until i get to the studio (remote mgiht cause other problems), so adjustment will be treated on Monday. Sincerly, Gui
- Known bug (Fixing) - 23 November 2018
1. Some device will freeze in game (Fixing, please Kill process and relogin) 2. Some unit will stop action in some circumstances. (AI problem needs optimization) 3.

Please help me fixing bugs by submitting reports to [email protected]. Thanks all.
