Server status after update – Patch brings problems
What’s going on? According to the developers on Twitter, new problems have already arisen with the release of the update. There apparently are issues with armor and player survivability.
They have started a server maintenance to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Additionally, there seem to be login issues on Xbox. The developers recommend clearing the cache memory. To do this, you need to completely power down the console and unplug it. Wait a few minutes.
Players must continue to wait for the restoration of their items
What does this mean? After the release of the first update 1.05, a serious bug occurred that could cause the inventory of numerous players to disappear.
This ruined the work of many players and left many frustrated. People Can Fly announced weeks ago a restoration of most items, but there is still no date.
In the developers’ statement, they mention that work on the restoration is unfortunately still ongoing and that they decided to release Patch 1.07 earlier.
They will update you on the progress shortly. You can read about how this will happen here: This is how Outriders intends to restore the lost items due to the inventory bug
The promised compensation is also delayed. Players who played between April 1 and April 16 are supposed to receive a legendary item as compensation for the issues. However, this will only happen once the items are restored.
