Wakapedia-CIG: :space_invader: The 3.24 cargo/personal hangar build for Evocati today ran into some unrecoverable server deadlocks that would have made the build about as bad as yesterday’s tech-preview build. We are holding off on a publish until the issue is resolved which will most likely be by Monday

24

(Monday) We have found the causes of the server deadlocks in the 3.24 stream and have started cooking a build to test this internally with the fixes. This will not make it into Evocati’s hands today but will discuss tomorrow if this fixes take.

25

Wakapedia-CIG: The deadlock was caused randomly after a player leaves the shard so it would have been only lasted a few minutes on PTU. Hopefully this build holds through the Live QA team testing tonight so we can get something viable for tomorrow!

26

Wakapedia-CIG: That would be an expensive few minutes of a test lol. Hopefully these fixes are good and we’ll know tonight

27

Spectrum MOTD:

(Tuesday) We are currently building a new 3.24 build for a potential Evocati publish later today

28

Wakapedia-CIG: Things are looking good so far but we’ll see after the Live qa assessment here in a bit

29

Wakapedia-CIG: We aren’t intending on making this a timed test tonight so should continue to stay up unless something breaks the build enough that it invalidates the PTU testing

30

31

Wakapedia-CIG: We are going to get a build out tonight but unfortunately we are going to have to put a 10pm (CST?) cutoff tonight on this one with the caveat we might take it down sooner. It might be a rough one.
