January 15 PC version Path of Exile I received an extension "Echoes of Atlas", which helped the game to achieve a new bar by the number of simultaneous users.
At the peak, 265,250 people chopped into entertainment, which is 11 % more than the previous record. According to the studio Grinding Gear Games, Without server problems, this figure could be even higher.
It was the influx https://s188casino.co.uk/ of players that led to the problems that developers are now engaged in:
For the first time since 2013, our database servers were overloaded, which is manifested by a periodic refusal of various server actions (this may relate to the preservations of the actions of the players). Although in 99 % of cases, players can still play normally, 1 % of malfunctions are currently causing great inconvenience to users, and for this we apologize. Before that, we conducted tests with a huge number of bots, and this did not lead to such problems, so the situation that arose definitely requires a thorough consideration.
Recall that the addition to PlayStation and Xbox will be received on January 20.
