Constant Connection time outs on Ropagitta

[james]

I’ve checked the server metrics and everything is running fine. The Exoworlds are not under any significant load.

The servers are running fine and I can connect to them ok.

(You’re not going to like this, but) this would suggest that the congestion or issue is somewhere between your PC / PS4 and the servers.

Are there some worlds you can play on ok? If so, where do you get good performance, and where do you get bad performance?

Require authentication on a range of universe APIs.

It’s possible we will have more in the next update.

This is only one issue, hopefully a minor one. But the more dev time they spend, and the more steps the software has to go through to do basic things, the less performance and improvements we can see at the front end.

This has nothing to do with the performance of connections to the game servers.

~tl;dr~ the client has a high performance connection to the current game server which sends the player’s inputs. This is the only time critical data. You need the tell the server what you’re doing. The server will then respond with what everyone else is doing and validate the clients predictions. The APIs that have been protected here are completely different and are not even on the game servers. These APIs are on the Universe / Discovery server and are for a range of universe related queries.
