The launch of the multiplayer shooter Second Wave in early access was not without problems. Despite the fact that there were hardly more than 300 people online in the game, many encountered an error related to matchmaking. Players simply could not start a match to compete in multiplayer modes.
Maintenance started at 12:00 Moscow time and was scheduled to end an hour later. However, the developers then extended the work until 14:30, then until 16:30, then until 18:00, and finally until 20:00 (although in the end the servers were turned on earlier). As compensation, all players were sent by mail 5,000 gold and 1,000 green crystals, obtained through gaming.
“We are pleased to announce that we have resolved an issue that has been plaguing the game for the past 11 hours. We apologize for the downtime and appreciate those who chose to stay with us. Second Wave is still in Early Access and some bugs and issues are to be expected, but this is not one of them. We will continue to work hard to ensure this never happens again. As promised, we will be sending 5,000 gold and an additional 1,000 crystals to all players to express our apologies. Thank you for giving us a second chance,” said the developers.
The Second Wave shooter was released in early access on May 31, 2024 on PC. In the future, a release is expected on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch consoles, as well as on mobile devices running iOS and Android.
