Gamepires has rolled out a new hotfix for SCUM, addressing several connection issues that players have been experiencing. The update focuses on fixing server browser problems and connection difficulties after server restarts.
What's Included in Hotfix 0.9.693.94583
The development team behind the hardcore survival game SCUM has released a targeted hotfix aimed at resolving several connection-related issues that have been plaguing players. This update specifically addresses problems with server visibility and post-restart connectivity.
The hotfix tackles three main issues that have been frustrating survivors on the prison island:
- Fixed servers not appearing in the server browser
- Corrected a problem where official servers weren't properly labeled as official
- Implemented a potential solution for connection problems occurring after server restarts
Enhanced Monitoring and Protection
Beyond just fixing the immediate issues, Gamepires has also added extra logging functionality to help their development team better understand and diagnose connection problems. This additional data collection should provide valuable insights that will allow for more comprehensive fixes in future updates.
The hotfix also includes improved server protection services, which should help maintain a more stable gaming environment for all SCUM players moving forward.
What Does This Mean for Players?
For the average inmate trying to survive on SCUM's unforgiving prison island, this update should make finding and connecting to servers much more reliable. The fixes address some of the most commonly reported connectivity issues, particularly the frustrating experience of servers disappearing from the browser or being unable to reconnect after a server restart.
While the fix for post-restart connection issues is described as "potential," the additional logging should help developers pinpoint the exact cause of these problems, potentially leading to a more permanent solution in an upcoming update.
Players experiencing server connection issues should update their game client to receive these fixes. As always with technical updates of this nature, the true test will be how well these changes perform in the wild across SCUM's diverse player base.
