Will dedicated servers get more love with crashes like FG pipe hologram crash order access or violation? Uh we are looking at dedicated servers with every update. I know I know we know that the amount of fixes going into dead servers are underwhelming with every update, every almost every patch. We wish we could do more. Um, it comes back to the workload being intense and I don't- I don't want to say we're scrambling right now with, you know, 1.1 and consoles and the future, but we let's talk about something else kind of, but also related to this. Um, we mentioned last week, last year, sorry, that we were very much in the stage at the moment of exploring the future for this game. Um, we even asked for like YouTube comments about what would you like to see with paid DLC, with paid updates, with free updates., just like you're used to right now. And 1.1 like ends up being very much what you're used to if you've been around in EA with update 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, smaller like not the smallest not the biggest update but very much in the veins of those updates. It's it's going to feel very familiar to that familiar to that. Um, we have more clarity on where this game is heading in the future post 1.1, post consoles, because there is definitely a future after consoles. Um, and we have more clarity, but we're still not super like, God, game development's messiest aspect is the meetings, man. the meetings, the syncing, making sure people don't spend time on the wrong things. Making sure that the cut here or the ad here or the edit here have been properly communicated because if not, then people can end up spending days, weeks working on the wrong thing, things that are being scrapped, things that are redundant, things that somebody else is working on at the same time. So now we have two of them and what do we do with the second one? Like, yeah. Um again we have more clarity but we're still also very much in the stage of kind of molding and solidifying still very much what the very very very clear future will be and everyone even community is part of this discussion and it takes so much time from everybody and it's a need like it's a must for the game because this game needs a future and it needs to happen like the talks need to happen this intensely because this future can't be like we don't want to release 1.1 and then have you wait like over a year for if it's 1.2, if it's 2.0, if it's paid DLC, whatever it is. We we don't know. Um but like yeah, it needs to happen intensely so that you still get updates kind of frequently. And TLDDR from all of this, I think dedicated servers is what is suffering the most from this. and it is definitely a thing that we can work on being so much better about. Uh that's the very I yeah this turned out to be a tease I realize as well. Uh kind of dancing with the devil in how close I get to the like towing the line. If my boss is watching I might have a door knock soon. Who knows? Um, please spare me. But yeah, I kind of really want to just give context as to why some areas of the game, dedicated servers being one of the if not the biggest outlier here. Uh why they seem to be forgotten, they are not forgotten. It's just that again like planning, on top of idealizing, on top of ideating, on top of actually making, on top of the crucial stuff. The list is so big, man. And the team is honestly kind of small. So, yeah, we're working on it, but but dedicated servers deserve more love for
