Corepunk Servers Face Extended Downtime (72+ hours) Due to Infrastructure Issues

Comments

The buy to play action MMORPG Corepunk has been offline for over three days following a server optimization update that caused widespread technical failures. Developer Artificial Core continues to address the issue, which involves an unidentified infrastructure component disrupting server stability.

Timeline of Events

  • Monday: Artificial Core released a server optimization update. Shortly after, servers went offline as too many players attempted to connect.
  • Tuesday Morning: Efforts to restore functionality saw some success, but servers continued to crash intermittently.
  • Wednesday Morning: The studio identified an infrastructure component as a probable cause and is reconfiguring server interactions to resolve the problem.

Current Status

As of 1:00 a.m. PST today (Thursday), Corepunk remains offline. Artificial Core reports progress in narrowing down the problem areas but warns that full stability is not guaranteed. The game's servers have been down for over 72 hours now and players on the official Discord and Subreddit have been voicing their displeasure.

While Core Punk is in early access, 72+ hours of downtime is highly unusual.
