He certainly does. You could almost describe it as ghostly. 
who knows maybe one day weâll get some attention from the devs. Until then Iâll just keep creating.

Maybe we can get the Devs of Phasmophobia to create ghosts with the names of the Boundless Devs.

someone told me that their fps dropping to unusability was b/c of lack of server maintenance; do you know any details?
There could be some issues with the server that causes FPS problems but usually it is a matter of the performance on the video card side as well as game settings and your ability to handle them.
Itâs very unlikely that server maintenance has anything to do with FPS. Rendering (and therefore the performance of rendering, i.e. FPS) is not done by the server, itâs done by the client.
Unless a developer has identified a specific issue whereby the behaviour of the server can affect client FPS, anyone else claiming there is a link is just making a correlation fallacy (there is no server maintenance and my FPS is low, therefore one must have caused the other).
Ah yes but Boundless is, ahh, special.
Youâre right of course, there is no âdirect effectâ however there is something that happens that starts to cause the weather system to be weird. This causes both visual (weather) problems and for some people rendering issues. Problems with a fog.
Itâs actually a particular problem and everyone starts to notice it, even those with enough rendering power that a bit of smoke/fog is usually fine.
@Solgato itâs pretty obvious and if itâs becoming a problem again lots of players will notice it within a couple of days. Itâs not something that (typically) affects just one player at a time, but those with low end graphics will usually notice it first.

For the past year and a half, Iâve had connection issues with Boundless. Every few minutes, the game rubber bands and I get that âunplayable connectionâ message. Iâve always been told that itâs the fault of my ISP.
I would have to disagree. Of the dozens of MMOâs Iâve played over the years, Boundless is the only one Iâve had this kind of connection issue.
Never had this problem when they were doing regularly scheduled server shutdown and maintenance.
I understand that they took a great opportunity to work on a big up and coming game, but it seems like theyâre doing it at the expense if their existing games.
People are quitting out of frustration, gleam club is not being renewed for a lot of people, and sovereigns are going dark. Boundless is bleeding money daily.
Heck, you canât even tell them, âHey, can you removed X sovereign,â because they donât even do that anymore.

Yeah, theyâll come back to ban your account for breach of CoC and all that. 
Completely depends how you do it, if you blunt attack them then sure, theyâll ban u but if you do it in such a subtle way that they donât even understand it then⊠

But if the point is for them to see and get the message, then itâd be counter-productive, wouldnât it?

For sure & for some trash pandas thatâs the only way to get through to them huh.
What have you been doing? Iâm just confused about what youâre trying to accomplish. Not even annoyed, just curious.

Youâre right, âUnplayable Connectionâ has nothing to do with individual ISPs, because many different people (in different countries) have reported it, and for many of those people it happens only in Boundless while all other games work fine.
My own ISP actually provides 24-hour customer-accessible quality monitoring of ping times and packet loss, which for me shows that there are no general problems with my connection even though I get the âUnplayable Connectionâ message a few times per hour just like everyone else.

At least in regards to unplayable connection⊠then depending on the bulk of loading stuff and your network transfer setting, I can get that warning as well at times when going from a portal to a fresh load of an area, or if you are moving through a large Plant Farm area, where the server needs to calc the progress of the crop as you make the area âwake upâ.
My main internet died last night due to Lightning, then I was playing on 4G⊠was getting the unplayable connection all the time. Also I can get the unplayable connection if the CPU is heavily loaded.

I have run cpu load monitors while playing various games. Boundless has never taxed my cpu. Iâve mainly got the unplayable connection while either mining or building. I have pretty stable connection. Same one Iâve had since I started playing boundless 3 years ago.

With GPU numbers like that, I literally canât render fast enough to stress the actual CPU.

Working fine here at 100 FPS vsync. Playing all evening already, but playing on an EU planet from an EU connection which helps ofcourse.
On what kind of hardware are you playing? Which region and internet and LAN connection?
Iâve had some issues in the past on wireless and on powerline adapters, but itâs fine for a very very long time now.
