6 hours Downtime for invisible horse fix

beer781993

Am I the only one wondering why this could not be done during the 8 hour maintenance on tuesday?


Were their no other more important things to be fixed than this?

Do you know how big Nirn is to find an invisible horse?

Somehow it feels like they were really looking for one 🤦 it feels unreal, hope they did at least sth else as well.

Here's me hoping that they'll fix fat bottomed Khajiit girls (Rimmen Fountainside Loungewear) while they're at it.

Kinda takes the *** a bit ngl, so many things wrong with guilds and their history. Guild masters and admins shouldn’t have to restart their game just to update deposits in trading guilds.

I’m still running on top of my horse, people are still inside building with horses, pvp is just a mess I’m told and don’t get me started at events

Fat bottomed you say… rimmen…

I also hope the new bug on Ps5 when you barswap the game freezes for 0,5 seconds will soon be fixed. It only disappears when you reload the ui but happens again randomly...

Not to criticise but at that pace we won't have proper fixes in 10 years.

Where does it say they're fixing the invisible horse glitch? I see no info on the forums about what's included in the maintenance?

Nevermind I see it now. Oh well, was a fun glitch.

You're beefing about 6 hours downtime, then wondering why it didn't take 8 hours?

Would you rather have had 8 hours downtime?

It only took 5 minutes to fix the invisible horse. The rest of the time was to break other things.

Aw. In this case the invisible bug was so much better than the intended graphics of the mount.

Tandor

There was routine maintenance as well as the patch, all unrelated to the preparatory work carried out yesterday for the forthcoming server replacements which covered a different batch of servers to those covered by today's downtime.

I know it's dumb but I loved the invisible mount. I'll buy one if you make one @zos.

"The size of this patch is approximately 1.05GB for PS4 and 493MB for PS5."
Sure must of been a fat horse.

So six hours downtime to fix a bug that should have been promoted to feature.

Gargath

Only 125mb for PC, took 30s. to install, downtime when I was at work. Matters not for me. Most important is they fixed it. Even that I do not own this mount, I'm grateful.

Four_Fingers

I hope that file size was a typo. lol

For me it took 10s for install and about 2-3mins of repair whole game. I love every single patch because everytime I getting "Error 1002 - OSError_AccessInvalid"

Huh no, you misunderstood. I meant why couldn't they just upload the patch during the 8 hour maintenance? Instead they chose to take the servers off for another day. It seems like a small fix, so I was wondering why they needed an extra 5 hours for that.

They didn't. Read my earlier comment.

Yea good explanation but still it feels off that there is so much work behind such a small fix when there are so many other things that need fixing. Don't know I feel fooled by their priority.

Holycannoli

They took down the servers for maintenance and during it they added a small patch to fix the glitch.

There would have been maintenance downtime even without a patch.

beer781993

They did maintenance on Tuesday for 8 hours without including the patch..
Then they took the servers down a second time at Thursday for the fix......

The Tuesday work was prep work for the upcoming hardware upgrade, it wasn't normal maintenance; a completely different type of work and probably incompatible with adding patch files for the game. Otherwise, I'm sure they would have done the patching at the same time.

Dr_Con

server maintenance is more about fixing invisible horses.

How do you know how much work was behind that fix? The scheduled six hours is normal time when it's just maintenance, adding in the fix didn't extend the downtime at all. I think the servers actually came back up a bit early.

I can guarantee you that every patch they are changing something else behind the scenes that we aren't being told about.

Maintenance was at Tuesday.... For 8 hours...
That 5:30 on Thursday were for the patch only or did they do a second maintenance?

So I thought it's a lot of work when they "only" uploaded that "tiny" fix.

There were 2 downtimes in one week. One 8 hours, one 5:30 hours..

The whole point of that thread was why it was not possible to do a patch and maintenance in 8 hours and instead having to take the servers down a second time in one week for a small fix.



Mods just delete the thread already it's pointless. People don't understand what I meant or not reading.

That explanation made the most sense to me. Ty

Tandor

The downtimes were for different tasks and related to a different combination of servers. The first was all EU servers, both PC and console, for preparatory work prior to the server replacements, the second was for the PC NA and EU servers and covered normal maintenance to which was added a small patch. That's already been explained and you said it was a good explanation but then rejected it. ZOS couldn't apply a PC NA and EU only patch to a special downtime for unrelated PC and console special maintenance on EU servers only, they applied it to the routine maintenance for the two servers it related to.
