PS4 - Age of War Chapter 2 Update Discussion Megathread

Similar problems here on modded and unmodded servers, across PC and PS5 (possibly also Xbox). Bases can take >45 minutes to load which is only fixed if you log off and log back in (then it loads entirely).

This is of course made difficult by a lot of trouble connecting - with a low pop (<20) it takes an ok amount of time to connect. With >20 it can take a solid while (over 5 minutes) to reconnect. On private servers that have >40, it can take over 10 minutes or fail to connect altogether. This is a new problem, given that nobody had any specific difficulty connecting until yesterday :confused:

The rubberbanding is also really violent, with mid-level pops you can come across someone and see them run into a wall for over 3 full minutes, before the position if finally updated and they disappear.

It was fewer population than that on ps5… which I’m not surprised, considering the PlayStation version is far inferior.

Did a purge a few hours ago and still now I can’t build or repair anything…
ā€œBuildings cannot … during a purgeā€

I can even call another purge, but cannot build…

This is sad.

Same thing. I did a purge yesterday, as soon as i finished it i was not able to build anything.

I tried to do another purge, same result. I try to log off and log in, check if something of the camp was left or stucked, nothing worked.

The worst part is that this bug is lasting more than a day, and that I can not build in ALL the map.

Hope they fix this.

, your server probably already did a restart…
The restart was my last hope…

updating… I kept performing some purges and at some point it allowed me to fix and build…
But now the problem has returned and in addition the attackers cannot find a way, it is exactly the same base and the same path.

Please fix the game guys. I miss the stability the game had before this update. Id be fine if you had to revert the changes to allow us to enjoy the game.

Just got ā€œDefeat a Surge Bossā€ challenge on Exiled Lands. Why are we still getting this one on EL?

Ah… right… that may be why Surge Boss was a challenge. The events. Yeah…

Same here… tried all day yesterday. Took forever. When I finally got in, lagged like crazy. Was getting hit from enemy 5 miles away!
Today still trying to log in. It’s been about 2 hours of error and drop app. Good luck exile!

There are rough spots, but Skeleton Keys now stack!

This one is so happy about that, especially with the dungeon and chest change.

And yes, this is grasping at straws

So, I’ve gotta be honest, I’ve really been enjoying this new Chapter and the changes that have gone on with Purges :smile: With the way things were for me before, I’d always have a very small, barebones base to avoid Purges when I didn’t want them (but also had to keep all of my workbenches/storage containers spread far, far apart to avoid overburdening the memory requirement and turning my base into a guaranteed freeze zone) and now, I can actually just build a nice, big base, if I want, with a treasury before I have to worry about Purges. It’s an opt-in mechanic, seems really fun now, and has even more tangible rewards; where it was something I generally avoided and had to try and find fun with, initially, it’s now something I’m looking forward to engaging in!

There’s just been one problem :sweat_smile:

I like my Partial Nudity for immersion, and this update seems to have fudged the nudity settings on this save. They’ve reverted to None and no matter what I try, it won’t stick. I’m setting the Nudity in the Main Menu to Partial before entering my game, and the setting seems to stick, there; entering the game, it’s stuck at None, and becoming Admin doesn’t change that. When I then leave my game, the Main Menu settings also then display Nudity as None. It just really, really sucks, lol. It’s made me go from having this save and making plans with it into the future, to wanting to complete the Chapter and get all the rewards before promptly abandoning this save and making a new one simply to ensure Partial Nudity gets turned back on. Boo. :stuck_out_tongue:

Welcome back @SamsonHF! I noticed my nudity settings reverted too with this update. Just to be sure here. We must set it to full (or partial) in both places. So hit the Pause button, go to Settings the ā€˜Gameplay’ menu and activate Nudity, then go to Server Settings make yourself Admin, and in ā€˜General’ go down to Maximum Nudity and activate.

I make sure to activate it in both areas before resuming gameplay. Also, sometimes I find I need to do the process in the reverse order for it to work. ie-activate it in General then in Gameplay, before exiting the menus. Let me know if this works.

Thank you! :smiley:

Yes, exactly, that’s what I’m trying to do. Here’s what I’ve tried:

At the Main Menu, go into settings and put Nudity to Partial.
Exit/re-enter settings; settings persist!
Reboot game, entirely.
Settings have persisted!
Go into game.
Nudity settings states max nudity is None.
Change it, exit settings, re-enter settings, Nudity has reverted to None.
Become admin, change settings, exit settings, re-enter settings; Nudity reverted to None.
Exit game, check main menu settings; Maximum Nudity = None.
Change, re-enter game; Maximum Nudity still = None.

And so on and so forth. I’m not really sure what more I can do, which is what’s made me mentally give up on this save as simply a vehicle to ensure I get this Chapter’s rewards :sweat_smile:

Waaaaait. Never mind, I am the big derp

It’s been so long since I’ve had to think about this that I forgot there’s, like, three places to check; the main menu settings, the in-game settings, and the actual option underneath the admin menus :sweat_smile: :joy: I kept thinking to myself that being admin was supposed to make more of a difference with the in-game settings, themselves, and make them stick, but I forgot there’s that actual setting allowance under the admin settings. :man_facepalming:

My immersive nudity is back, I no longer feel the need to eventually abandon this save - cheers, CF! :+1:

Idk… I just started having the issue today as well. I play on official, so I have no access to the admin settings. It could be a tweak they did.

No worries SamsonHF. It has tripped many people up in the past; myself included.

Still no fix for the Thrall Pot or the pet Feeder Box I see. :roll_eyes:

HotFix 2 - Still ā€œNo accessible locationā€¦ā€ BS…
It’s just frustrating, the same base, the same location, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

i think my cat was in the purge’s way. :rofl:
