Paradox Mods down already?

[.NoWay.]

So I wanted to check the new Paradox Mods but keep getting error messages:
- The mod cannot be found
- Paradox Mod server isn't available
- Internal error
- Couldn't fetch mod details
- ...

I hope the stability will improve...

EDIT: it is also VERY slow. Just loading a mod takes a minute or more. And when opening Paradox Mods it checks mod updates, but even without any mods it takes over a minute. How long will it take when you have 100+ mods (or 1000+ assets)?

Getting the same here - I'm guessing there's more load on their servers than expected...

It's a little bit frustrating though. Hope they can sort it out swiftly.

Right now it's everybody trying to enter. Let's give some time, because I guess it's one of the firsts things everyone is doing.

They must have seen SimCity's failed launch and were like: nah we're not that popular, that won't happen to us.

Update - I exited and restarted, and it's behaving better now.

That's not an excuse. They postponed the release already to get it 'working'. Well, it ain't working right now either...

your Paradox servers are not reachable

Now I'm downloading the update. It's 4,1 gb
I'm sure the servers are full of requests.

they dont even get this mods right, not working at all, what a joke

 

[RealAtomicA]

Wow. down already. They already struggle to get the servers running... and the playerbase is still way lower than cs1..
imagen if the playerbases rise. I think they have a big server issue.

Because as more mods and assets (in future) will be added, more people will use it and more bandwith etc is needed. and if they struggle already, i foresee they need to upgrade alot of hardware..... wich might increase future DLC prices?

The steam workshop already has bad experiences (unstable download and sync) in my area, I expected the ParadoxMod platform would bring some new experience, but it turns out it has no more but only less function and can't even be accessed. CO&Paradox, did you even do the stress test?! And here I'm keep reconnecting at 2:13 AM!

 

[speedbrake]

The worst was i could finally download 3 mods but when I restarted the game it said that there was a mismatch between my local and my cloud profile so it removed everything again. What a mess

If it's caused by high traffic, that's strictly speaking not the developers' fault. Also it'll be temporary.

Server load has nothing to do with working vs. not working. Servers have finite capacity, when they're at capacity they can't handle more requests, simple as that. I suppose maybe the devs could've arranged for more server capacity somehow, but that sounds like overkill for a temporary problem.

Of course it's their fault. You launch a feature that the majority of players have been waiting for since launch. Of course everyone will try it out.

They could have anticipated this and they could have stress tested the system. (and if they did stress test they have underestimated greatly).

There is a thing in the world called 'Stress Test'

 

[speedbrake]

Looks like though they have scaled up. It's loading much quicker now and no weird errors so far...

 

[Ger Leahy]

It's crashing on launch now

Anyone know if BePinEx or Thunderstore work after teh update?

When I did get in they crashed

There is also such a thing as waiting for the massive initial traffic to abate.
It's like judging the capacity of a stetch of road by some massive traffic even that happens incredibly rarely, or maybe even only once. That's not what you scale for, it's the regular day-to-day traffic. Temporarily increased server capacity for one or a few days of extra traffic would be nice, sure, but not neccessary in my eyes.

you don't get it I think. If it's properly set up they can just scale up and scale down according to demand. No need to keep a massive server farm running for the 10 people that will still play this game next week. But for the massive influx now it makes sense to scale up. because this is just bad advertising and doesn't sell the product. Which is a shame because I really want this game to succeed.

Do you even have a game running? After the update, I can't run anything, neither the version with mods nor without mods. I'm not using thunderstore right now, all mods are disabled in it, and the app itself is not running. I checked the integrity of the files - it didn't help. I stupidly downloaded the game again - the result is the same. Nothing starts, neither the mod version, nor vanilla.
