Hi guys,

As of today, the 8th of January, we’ll be taking down the old server for Frozen Synapse Prime as all information (Scores, Leaderboard, etc.) have now been carried over to the new one. If you are still on the old server please change to the new server by 'Verify the integrity of the game cache', you can find this by right clicking on Frozen Synapse Prime, selecting Properties and finally selecting ‘Local Files’.

Hi All,

Sometime next week we are going to be merging the servers for Frozen Synapse Prime.

This will merge multiplayer statistics from the previous server to the current one (launched 27/11/2014). To include your records in this merge, please ensure you have logged onto the server for Frozen Synapse Prime after the 27/11/2014.

If you have not logged into multiplayer, please do so before next week as the data on the old server will be permanently lost during this merge.

The servers will be down for 5 minutes for processing.

Kind Regards

Release Notes 27/11/2014

We are pleased to announce that we have fixed the crash bug that has been affecting multiplayer for some users.

This was caused by match data becoming corrupted while being sent to the server. We have since fixed the bug causing the corruption thus preventing the crash from occurring in newly made matches. Unfortunately, we are unable to fix existing matches experiencing the crash and so attempting to open those matches will still result in a crash. Although we are able to delete the individual crash cases from the server, these matches would reappear as soon as either of the match participants came online.

We have concluded that the best method to get rid of all the crashing matches is to use a new online server which you will connect to automatically on downloading the latest patch. This means that all matches from the previous server are no longer accessible by default. You will however still be able to access the old server to finish any matches in progress. You will not be able to create new matches on the old server. Please see the forum post for more details.

To access the old server:

1. Navigate to the ‘Local Files’ for Frozen Synapse Prime.
   
   • In the Steam Library: Right Click on Frozen Synapse Prime.
     
   • Select Properties.
     
   • On the ‘Local Files’ tab: select ‘Browse Local Files’/
2. Edit the ’config.xml’ file in a text editor (Notepad)
   
3. Find the command ‘<bool UseOldServer="0" desc="Use the old server" edit="0"/>’
   
4. If the command is not present in your config.xml file simply copy it from this post and paste it at the bottom.
   
5. Change the value to ‘1’ ( <bool UseOldServer="1" desc="Use the old server" edit="0"/>)
   
6. Save the file
   
7. Launch the game and you will connect to the old server.

To change back to the new server, on step 4 change the value back to ‘0’.
You can also Verify the integrity of the game cache to return to the new server.
