Must be pretty low on the priority list if they can put 2.4 in testlive before adding a dang scrollbar to loader window! Seriously, this is just laziness or lack of caring that 75% of their own players cannot play game!!
And honestly, Iām tired of people trying to defend Funcomās absolute failure. Over 2 weeks to figure out how to add a scroll bar to a window is an utter embarrassment!
Ya, the real data doesnāt suggest that at all. And there are two EXTREMELY EASY work arounds that have been provided. I get you are frustrated, but itās really not the end of the world to create a shortcut exe, or set your windows resolution temporarily to not be above 150%. This will be my last response on the matter.
Show me the real data then! Iād love to see gportalās user data for say the past 2 months! But since you arenāt an actual developer, I doubt you can even see that data, let alone share it. Most players arenāt going to search hard enough to find your dumb workarounds, they will just move on⦠Itās not like the game was a well oiled machine anyway!
Thatās right. None of us can, so is there any reason why youāre pulling bogus statistics out of your colon and going full-Karen on people who were trying to help you?
Some will take the help they were offered by other players and play the game. Others? Well, I hope the door doesnāt smack them on their way out.
I would be happy to pile on a different thread on the subject, I would think the moderators would have popped in and said " hey this is s duplicate of blah blah " and direct people there ( I honestly looked and didnāt see it but I could have been in the wrong side of town)⦠a fix should take minutes⦠roll back to the previous version amd regroup. and then roll again another day this time with some QC
Iām using statistics from the server I play on. If you read the original post we went from an average of 20 concurrent players to an average of 3 after the loader. 75% is actually being conservative! Iām not asking for help for myself, I figured out how to play the game within a day. I want the 75% who cannot figure out how to get in the game to get help. Letās brainstorm, what would be the best way to get them in the game?? Oh ya! FIX THE LOADER!! It should take about 10 minutes, not over 2 weeks!
Maybe if there are āmany duplicate threads like this oneā Funcom should just remove the loader until they can figure out what a scrollbar is! This isnāt a major technical issue, itās just greed and lack of motivation!
I donāt know mate, I am part of a discord of 1000+ people and I havenāt heard a single one having an issue with launching the game. Maybe your people simply didnāt like the latest update or your server and decided to play something else or somewhere else. Your guess is as good as ours
All I can say is that about 12k people have managed to find a way to log and play the game and the average population in the last 30 days have increased:
P.S. Can it be better? Yes, it can and Funcom have acknowledged the issues with the scaling. Does it make the game unplayable, no, not really. It takes less than a minute to create a shortcut on your desktop while waiting for a more permanent solution.
Wow why throw the racist Karen insult into the conversation? People are just asking for the new launcher to be fixed. Not have people insult them and be called names. When people have put a lot of time and in my case money into a community only to watch some silly add-on frustrate people to the point that the players decide to move on, people can understand the frustration that we are having.
And it would take about the same amount of time for Funcom to roll back the launcher until they can figure out what a scrollbar is. Not everyone has the knowledge to find the correct .exe, especially when there are multiple files with the same name and the real one is 7 folders deep⦠I guess only IT people get to play the game while Funcom works on expanding the map of a broken ā ā ā DLC!
I apologize if it took me a minute to realize your error! But you quoted a steam number for number of players. Not sure if you understand how this works, but steam only knows how many people tried to load the game. For part of that 30 days, steam directed players to the sandbox.exe file and the other part sent ppl to the new loader. So 12,510 people tried to play the game, but Steam has no way of knowing how many successfully played the game. The only decisive data would be gportalās user stats⦠I guess my small sample set is still the most accurate data!
If you think āKarenā is racist, of all things, youāre privileged enough to have had no contact with actual racism.
Many people are asking for the new launcher to be fixed. Out of those many, only a few are hysterically berating those that tried to help them, and anyone else who dares reply anything that isnāt āFuncom sucksā.
If you take your frustration out on those who try to help, donāt expect sympathy.
It is great that they have an admin now to tell them where the .exe is located and they donāt have to ātryā for another 25 days to log in the game. You are welcome
No kidding talk about a derail of the topic at hand. No wonder nothing gets fixed. Anyhow thanks for the workaround info even though we should not need workarounds. I am just hoping that this issue gets fixed and soon.
As @Narelle pointed out above, weāre aware of this issue and weāre working on a fix.
Weāll proceed to close the thread as it steered into some less-than-constructive conversation.
Apologies for the frustration this issue may cause, and thanks for the feedback.
