It will be interesting to see if the server meshing tests make the 4.0 testing a bit easier, I remember the never ending 3.18 ptu when they introduced PES, that was still rough when they launched it :eek:

It was rough because not many played the ptu.

I'm hoping more will jump into the ptu to help stress test it
 
# [Server Meshing Test "E" After Action Report](<https://robertsspaceindustries.com/...er-meshing-test-e-after-action-report/7270510>)

**Meshing Test "E" was conducted on SC Birthday on Oct 10th.**

**This test included 2 major hybrid crash fixes that were encountered at high concurrency in the last test which prevented us from pushing forward. Other optimizations are still under way but did not make their way into the build.
Our objective in this test was to measure the behaviour of the Hybrid at a 1000 player concurrency.**

**New observations in Test "E":**
- When at 1000+ player concurrency, long loading screens were observed across many players loading late into the game, caused by waiting for a free Hab to spawn in. (Would be nice to see this on screen!). Looking to see if a queueing mechanism to ease the spawning process can help. (Also looking at other spawning options...more on this later!)
- Observed several issues occurring with ASOP during the high player count test where the terminals would appear "stuck" waiting for ships/hangars to be unstowed. After investigation, no backend issue was detected. Further investigation is under way.
- Some players were seen quantum jumping through a server boundary but never actually pivot to the new authority, causing them to be effectively lost. Appeared as if no controls worked (stuck in seat, etc). Investigation under way. Possibly related to some game servers being overwhelmed and not processing the authority transfer in time.
- A game server with 400 players (!!!) went through a successful server crash recovery...the team cheered.
- Large area network binds need optimizations, as seen in multiple captures in all tests so far

**Test "E" is the last test on the 3.24x Tech Preview stream as we now have to merge back to the main 4.0.x development stream and continue.**

When it stops being a walking/waiting for a lift only to blow up with your ship in your hanger simulator then I'll join in !

Lol it will be like that in live because many won't help strress test it.

You are better off to join in the ptu and make up the numbers.

If 2/3 of the current live players jump on one of the ptu, cig could get the data off if a similar live environment and fix the issues at hand.

CIG have said this before that they don't get enough data from the small group of users in ptu and so they just launch it and fix the issues later as that's the only time they can see many issues pop up.

I've blown up in my hangar I think about 4 times since I properly started playing in around summer 2020 but had an account far longer, Not fun but not like it happens a lot.

As for waiting for lifts, Well they actually have to traverse a distance just like in real life so there's that, Instant lifts would basically be Star Treks beaming tech.
 
I don't think I've ever had a ship blow up in my hangar tbh. Had humgub fly us through planets plenty of times though.

I do genuinely think Humbugs dial up broadband speeds are part of the issue though
