[Archived] Server Fix: How to Log In the Game

Hi friends and animals,

You may experience a hard time logging into the game because all the servers are overloaded now.
We have opened up three new game channels to have more gamers in.

When you launch the game, you will be sent to a default server. If you are having trouble logging in, please try manually switch to another game channel by following the steps below:

  1. Right click "Party Animals Demo" in Steam library, then "Properties", then "Betas".
  2. Select "region-us" if you are in North America, or select "region-asia" / "region-asia2" if you are in Asia. Servers for other area is on the way.
  3. Then go to “Local Files” and click the “Verify integrity of game files” button.
  4. Close the tab and launch the game. You will be directed to the new server you selected.


If you didn't see any other channel in the drop-down list, then please relaunch Steam client.
Please notice that if you want to play with friends, then make sure all of you are using the same channel. Otherwise you won't be able to see each other or join friends' rooms.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Cheers,

Confession About Server Issue Happened During Festival

Hi friends and animals,

We’d like to be open and honest with our players and let everyone to know what actually happened with the server for the last 19 hours.

First of all, as a small developer, we didn’t expect such enthusiasm from our players all over the world. If we could ever imagine this, we would have warned our service provider for the upcoming traffic. We are very sorry for what happened today.

The unexpected (but very appreciated) player base of our game has brought our service provider great burden for managing their servers and also causes trouble for other companies they are working with. Hence they put limits on the number of concurrent players on 10pm GMT June 18th.

We were sleeping at that time and were unable to contact them regarding the limitation. And for the following 13 hours we’ve been trying all ways to contact them and they finally replied us on 11am GMT June 19th.

After communicating with them, they agreed to temporarily raise the limitation. But it may still be insufficient given the global player base we currently have. Local game and AIs on the other hand is available for playing anytime.

We will enhance the server capability after the festival and would like to provide everyone with a free, much more steady demo with more contents sometimes in the near future. We hope you will come back and enjoy the game then :)

Again we are truly sorry for what happens today and for bringing your guys a bad gaming experience.

Thank you for your understanding and support :)

Best,
Dev Team @ Recreate Games

Server Provider Limits the Concurrent Players Now And We're Contacting' Them

Hi Friends and Animals,

Right now you may experience a hard time connecting to the game / creating room / starting the game. That is because our server provider puts a limit on the maximum number of concurrent players about an hour ago.

We are contacting them for a quick fix NOW. Please be patient with us and we'll fix it soon (hopefully).

Meanwhile please practice with hard AIs. They are very FATAL if you are new to the game.

On the other hand, all friend-related features, such as send/receive friend requests or refresh friend list, are also being temporarily disabled in case too many requests crashing the server.

We will release a new version today to fix the friend-related features.

Thank you for your understanding and support :-)

Cheers,
Dev Team @ Recreate Games
