    Hello, all.

    Has your world wiped?
    Is your roleplay interrupted?
    Are you tired of having to constantly ask for rollbacks?

    Well then, stop on by and report these wipes with excruciating detail! Every little bit helps.
    If your planet gets wiped, I need to know:
    • The coords of the planet + sector
    • What you were doing 30 minutes before it wiped
    • What was going on 30 minutes before it wiped
    • What you or anything was/were doing 10 minutes before it wiped
    • Even 5 minutes before it wiped
    • What you did WHEN it wiped
    • The exact date and time it wiped, or as close as you can get
    • What your character name was when you found it wiped
    • What mods you were using, if any
    Please post as much information as you can in this thread when and if this happens, so we can get it resolved sooner.
    (You can also just shoot me a message if you're not comfortable making your colony coords public.)

    question: does evacuating worlds before resets help prevent wipes? some people have been practicing this.

    Good question, I don't know. We don't know what exactly causes wipes, that's what we're trying to figure out.

    I THINK beaming to/from planets during restarts may be worse.

    Well, I just got on to discover that Velocity had been wiped.

    Coords: Alpha Orabelli 18 I c, X: 20 Y: -23

    As I had said before, since I had just joined I don't have the full details. All I know is it had to have been wiped before I checked, which was about 1 minute ago.

    From what I've observed, more traffic=higher likelihood of wipe. Just look at Aiko's bar, it probably gets the highest player traffic in town and it's self-wiped how many times. It's like the game wants us to be isolationists!

    Biggest thing I noticed that seemed odd, was most of the time, the wipe was right after a crash while stuck beaming, (like when you're waiting through lag, for the beam to finish and load the new area, and then bam crash)

    I've seen a few wipes ( not from my colony ) and they all happened during a crash/massive lag spike.

    I suspect the crash is the cause of the wipe, or in other words, the crashing is the wiping process happening.

    As Tacc as said, the wipes seem to be a cause of places with a high amount of traffic at a certain time. Wipes typically happening when a large amount of people and text are present on the planet such as Velocity, Aiko's bar, and Tetanus fields. There could be many other variables such as mods or things not correctly coded for the game yet. A good deal of people seem to have strange weapons not typically found in game. Another thing could possibly be music being played by too many people. Another thing that another server had constant problems with were items with a script in the game files that were not added in the game yet such as the Jukebox.

    John has been testing this theory when the wipes were nonstop before that little update. we've remained fine at Taranis for some time now. it couldnt hurt to try evacuating before every reset to see if it helps

    I actually think beam traffic hurts more than simply staying.

    do you have evidence to support said theory? from what i've seen, tet seemed to be wiped less when people evac'd, but it might be just me.

    Beam traffic should not be an.issue, in my eyes. Generally speaking world corruption and failed loading of aworld happen when the world is, well, loaded. This may also happen when it is unloading. If I beam up and down on a world for an hour, the world will remain open, there is something like a thirty second grace periods before a world unloads itself from inactivity.
