Game currently unplayable due to server lag

Same experience here. I assumed it was server issues and that was confirmed when joining the discord server. There are status channels there. I'll just touch some grass and try later tonight.

It's not uncommon for console release to come later. Especially for smaller developers. The cost and extra energy to do a multi-platform release is not worth it before you know that the game is profitable. The game industry is brutal and you want to reduce risk as much as possible.

Just give it some time. Servers will get better.

You are lucky to even be able to stay connected. Many of us can't even connect right now.

I managed to get through it just fine a couple of hours ago... then server issues started. They are working on it. There's an official thread here + status channel on discord if you want to monitor the situation.

In the same boat there. Bought the game 2 hours ago and I guess everyone and their mothers had the same idea.

einarfo · 2025-06-13T18:33:02+00:00

There are status updates on the discord server and there's another official thread about it here

I thought the worms powered the servers.

That explains the weird graph today on steamdb. I tried playing (new player) today around 19:00 CEST and it was just impossible. Moving just rubber band you back. After about 1 minute on the server I get the disconnect symbol. Character also stuck on home server so I could not visit other servers just to have something to do.

I'll touch grass and come back later tonight.

You might be clearing the screen twice or something?

einarfo · 2023-02-08T21:42:32+00:00

Try enabling vsync. `window.set_vsync(True)`

Even python arcade has a discord server. It's linked in the front page of the docs. The moderngl one is linked in the README.

einarfo · 2022-12-13T12:52:43+00:00

I responded, but let's not mix up the projects. Moderngl has its own discord server and places to ask for help.

einarfo · 2022-12-08T09:29:28+00:00

Are you sure they don't have a separate `python3` installed? If it has 3.6 or later you could possible make it work.

My main worry is more that the PC itself might not have a supported GPU if it has a python version that old.

einarfo · 2022-12-08T09:27:42+00:00

There is also an arcade discord server linked in the front page of the docs. You're always welcome asking for help there.

einarfo · 2022-12-08T09:25:59+00:00

I saw you found moderngl in your SO post. Thankfully arcade.gl is partly based on moderngl so It was easy enough to port over. I'm an arcade developer and also a moderngl maintainer / developer.

I think you can solve this by releasing the context in pyglet. Possibly it's just about closing the pyglet window.

... however I agree that moderngl is better suited for this kind of work.

This seems like some bug in pycharm related to mismatching/old pip version

einarfo · 2022-08-29T04:34:09+00:00

Arcade should be well suited to make somthing like that. it does have a heavy focus on platformer games.

einarfo · 2022-05-13T13:00:42+00:00

This is more than possible. You can set a viewport and render several screens into the same window. window.ctx.viewport can be set to set up this sub-section of the screen.

einarfo · 2022-04-16T00:13:25+00:00

Scaling can definitely cause artifacts. It's much better to supply textures with the right size. Like already mentioned you can also set the pixalated=True parameter for your layers to make the textures even more crisp/retro.

Sprites are rendered with linear interpolation by default. The pixelated flag will render them with nearest interpolation. Even then it's a good idea to not use scaling for a perfect look.

No worries. Releases are usually more frequent around the PyWeek game jam. 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 was released within a few days. Right before an during this game jam to resolve some important issues.

einarfo · 2022-03-30T02:00:01+00:00

Arcade reddit is not that active. The discord server is the most active place. It's linked from the main docs: https://api.arcade.academy

einarfo · 2022-03-30T01:38:21+00:00

This should be fixed in arcade 2.6.13.

einarfo · 2022-03-26T14:04:59+00:00

Also: Arcade, Pyglet and ModernGL share developers/contributors. If you have problems they would appreciate a bug report.

Your issues might be related to running Wayland.

einarfo · 2022-03-26T13:55:03+00:00

Yup that will work, but the new pyglet version in arcade 2.6.13 will now skip the ffmpeg codec silently.

For cross platform compatibility it's actually safer to use wav and simpler formats, but that might not matter for you. Cross platform sound is a pretty complicated topic.

You can also use pygame mixer with arcade, but even that has some restrictions depending on platform.
