SI are beavering away on updates and optimisations, trying to make sure that the game is running well and that the servers are stable and lag free. Earlier in the week, I mentioned these stress tests that they run sporically - well, I got lucky and caught most of one short one last night - and it was in my humble opinion a remarkable success.
350+ people online, and the lag was fine. I was playing a match, browsing through player searches and profiles, and chatting away - and everything was pretty smooth.
There are still not enough people turning up, or sticking around, for the stress tests - and a small minority of those who do are not really contributing, choosing instead to spam moronically in the chatrooms (damn the lack of my mod powers during stress tests!); the sooner these guys get joined in as well, the sooner stress tests will be consigned to history. Because have no doubt - SI are winning the war, and FML must then surely be coming sooner rather than later.

Today's stress test is/was smooth save for the awful lag searching the database. It may prove a huge stumbling block, because for me it is still the same level of lag as the early stress tests.
I didn't struggle too much with that myself - strange! But that is the very area that SI are working on at the moment, and they are confident that they can make yet more optimisations. We'll be seeing a lot more stress tests over the coming week or so, so everyone should make sure they get involved as it really, really helps SI...
