This is for testing server meshing and the new networking system (RMQ) they're putting in place to handle transferring information across the shards.

So this sounds like they'll probably have 4+ server nodes for the shard that's dedicated to stanton.

The last time we did this test, they opened it up for 400 players, the servers fell apart around 350 or so players. If they're able to handle closer to 800 players this time then they've definitely made improvements... They could also be adding on more server nodes for this test.

Thanks for the details. Isn't RMQ already in? I remember it being mentioned in regards to personal hangars before 3.24 release (umless that's what you mean by new).

Either way, I wish them luck. We could really use some networking improvements.

Benoit did a deep dive on a bunch of stuff during this last SCL.

He talks about NMQ (Network Message Queue) and RMQ around here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0AdNFF286Y&t=777s

Sounds like half of the live servers are still using NMQ while the other half are using RMQ.

Ahh, fair enough. I didn't have time to catch up on the last week's shows yet, sounds like it might be worth it. Thanks!
