Gamers have been affected by widespread login points on high of usually not receiving rewards when finishing missions.
That is because of the capability of the servers not being enough to sort out the excessive site visitors that hit the sport as a result of its sudden reputation.
Arrowhead Sport Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt took to his personal X (previously Twitter) account to clarify the state of affairs and apologize for the disruptions+.
Pilestedt mentions that three hotfixes have already been deployed to enhance the state of affairs, however the servers’ connection charge per minute is restricted. Whereas this has been elevated from 10,000 to twenty,000, it is nonetheless not sufficient to deal with login calls for.
On high of that, the sport is peaking at 360,000 concurrent customers, which is the restrict the servers can deal with. This has additionally been elevated from 250,000.

With the apology, he mentions that the group is working arduous to make it proper. They are going to now get some sleep and proceed making an attempt within the morning.
Hey Everybody,
Thanks to your persistence in the course of the server upkeep. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes”
geared toward enhancing the state of affairs with rewards usually not being handed out correctly, login-issues, and
server capability.To talk in technical phrases, our providers in addition to our accomplice providers have a charge limiter that denies
connections past a quantity per minute to stop all the system from failing. We managed to
enhance the speed restrict from 10,000/min to twenty,000/min and the whole capability of concurrent gamers was
elevated from 250,000 complete to 360,000 complete. This was nonetheless nonetheless not sufficient because the participant depend
jumped to 360k after 5 and half minutes.As such, the problem with login stays. If for any motive you get the “Failed to hook up with server”challenge it
signifies that the utmost variety of login requests for that specific minute is exceeded and/or that
the servers are full and would require somebody to sign off earlier than permitting new gamers in. As talked about
above, the elevated capability ought to require much less retries to get in.As for the reward challenge, the repair was mitigated however not resolved. And with out further server
upkeep it will nonetheless not work as meant. In the event you get the problem you’ll be able to attempt rebooting the sport to
enhance the possibilities of it being reset. That is because of the excessive site visitors on the servers resulting in rewards not
being tracked appropriately by our servers.I do know the development challenge is irritating, particularly for newer divers that need to unlock candy gear.
For now, please as soon as once more settle for our honest apologies for the problems you are going through and relaxation assured,
we’re doing our utmost to make it proper. So as to take action, proper now it’s essential that our group will get some
sleep and we shall be again at this once more in a couple of hours.Regards,
Johan
