Building a Stable Playing Environment
[i]“Based on insights from previous tests, we’ve reinforced server stability and are working to deliver a more reliable experience in the next phase of service."[/i] Through three rounds of official testing, Dungeon Stalkers has identified and addressed various server stability challenges under diverse conditions. While these tests may have caused some inconvenience, they were invaluable in driving improvements. We sincerely thank all participants for their patience and support throughout the process. In the version currently undergoing internal testing, we’ve resolved many major issues, such as game delays and matchmaking instability. With these improvements, we’re confident that the next service phase will offer a more stable and enjoyable gameplay experience.Implementing Anti-Cheat Measures and Strengthening Server Validation
[i]“We plan to combat unauthorized programs with proven anti-cheat solutions and enhanced server-side validation.”[/i] Dungeon Stalkers has consistently addressed reports of unauthorized program use and hacking during testing phases. Building on these efforts, we’ve implemented a market-proven anti-cheat solution and significantly strengthened server-side validation logic to greatly reduce the likelihood of hacking attempts. Even if used out of curiosity or for fun, unauthorized programs disrupt fair gameplay and harm the experience for many players. We urge everyone to refrain from using such programs, as violations will result in penalties in accordance with our operational policies, without exception. Let’s work together to maintain a fair and enjoyable gaming environment!Introducing the Kill Cam
[i]"Quick Problem Resolution with an Easy-to-Use Reporting Interface"[/i] Despite ongoing improvements to our anti-cheat systems and server validation, misconduct can still occur in unpredictable ways. To address these challenges swiftly, we’re introducing a Kill Cam feature. This feature will allow players to review instances where they were eliminated or encountered questionable gameplay, providing a simple and intuitive interface for reporting any suspicious behavior. With Kill Cam, we aim to empower players to help maintain a fair and competitive environment while enabling us to respond to issues more effectively.
