All,

We're going to be testing some new backend server updates again this weekend. Last time this lead to some instability, but we've learned quite a bit from that and have taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen again, with an easy and quick revert path if necessary. There may be some small interruptions, but nothing serious,. There is also nothing you need to do on the client side, this is all on the backend.

Wish us luck, and we'll be watching the results like a hawk for any new issues.

New backend scripts are live now. We've checked the logs and the outgoing WUs and they appear to be configured correctly, avoiding the error from last time. However, please do let us know if you experience any more unusual errors, especially with malformed WUs leading to client errors! We'll be monitoring the forums, discord, and server logs closely over the next few days.

During the transition, we had one brief 10 second period of errors that lead to a small handful (about 5?) result validation failures. We caught those immediately, and shut down the server to fix, so hopefully no more made it through. We appear to be working smoothly now.

Thanks again for supporting the project!
