Attention Foundation Personnel

It has been a significant amount of time since our last correspondence and since then we have had our share of ups and downs. Our silence has been unacceptable and we hope to shed some light on the current situation within Northwood Studios.



For those who are unaware, we have had many ongoing issues with our networking service and Unity itself. These issues include: The game failing to load, connection issues, game crashes, and Linux builds failing to work.

When it comes to Unity Builds and the bugs encountered from them, we have tried our best to deploy workarounds to these issues. We also made sure to report our problems to the Unity team directly in hopes of later builds resolving the problem. The issues given to the Unity team were confirmed by their QA staff and were forwarded to the Dev Team.

For the networking side we decided it was best to move onto another networking solution. Initial tests on the Windows version of the game showed everything to be functioning correctly. After some time though, we noticed that on a Linux server it would stop receiving data after a few minutes and cease to function. Working closely with the networking library creator, they were able to determine the problem and noted it was only in Unity version 2018.3. Unity version 2019.1 is free of this issue however another problem was found, the project would crash on startup with Linux builds due to an engine bug.

This new issue is not only affecting our game but others as well and we have reached out on the Unity forums to hopefully find more insight to the issue.



With everything said, we are still actively working on the game by improving gameplay mechanics and fixing some security issues. We also have that juicy MP2 update ready to go as soon as the networking issues are fixed.

From everyone at Northwood Studios we would like to thank;

Vis2k for helping immensely with trying to fix the networking issues.

The people on the Unity forums for helping wherever they could.

Our wonderful Patreon supporters for sticking with us during these trying times.

And finally everyone who has continued to play the game and make the community a wonderful place, we can never thank you enough.



It's been a while since we had one of these, after searching the artwork tab for a while, I believe I found our winner!
