Summary of bug here.
When Treasure from Sea events are scheduled to take place, they are announced twice in the chat, first with “starting in 30 seconds”, and after that duration is elapsed it is announced a second time that it has “washed up from the ocean”
There however seems to be quite a delay between the second announcement and treasure spawns actually appearing on the beach, the unit HUD will be stuck on displaying “Treasure from Sea in 00:00” for several seconds, and the grey status bar on the scoreboard will not display until treasures have actually spawned
Steps to Reproduce
Join a plaza, any plaza, wait for a treasure event to be announced, monitor its status in the chat, the scoreboard, and the unit HUD
What I expected to happen
For the treasure spawns to be redeemable from the moment it is announced in the chat that it has “washed up from the ocean”
What happened
Long delay before they’ve even spawned
Notes / Media
Other misc. notes about the bug. Picture or videos are appreciated!
Experiencing the same thing here. As an example, the “Treasure From Sea” event seems to consistently activate around 40 seconds after it normally should for me.
Seeing this a lot during the halloween event. I have a baseless suspicion that it’s due to server uptime or something, possibly related to the delay players are getting when starting minigames. I haven’t paid super close attention yet, but anecdotally, both of those delays seem like they may be happening at the same time - maybe a serverside lag spike when trying to spawn in the event items or something?
Briefly mentioned on another thread, but we believe this to be an issue with the amount of data being sent back and forth on the backend across the servers, so we are in the process of setting up an additional server instance to help balance the traffic.
Events, activities, characters and minigames are still being announced in the chat minus the appearance of the corresponding content, in version 1.1.1.1
Besides which I really do not have the time to investigate this deeper as I do have a life outside of TU, and this game tends not to respect my time any more, hence why I dumped the discord server and the patreon subscription.
I don’t have access to debugging tools and I’m sure as shit not doing the devs’ jobs for them.
Sorry in advance for coming across as blunt, I’m just being honest and getting to the point.
This issue is being actively resolved. We pushed out several different fixes that already helped two week ago, and upgraded the backend servers which reduced the delay from being 6 seconds off to just 1 or 2.
Without dredging up too much - why not just not have them desynced? Whenever there’s treasure from sea or goulish remains, people just server hop all the time to max farm them, so they actively don’t speak or do any other activity so they can speed-run gaining as many as possible within the spawn period. Is that really the intended player behaviour? I’m on the assumption that this would solve your engineering challenge.
