The controversial Survival hit Last Oasis seems to be having troubles not only with griefers. Due to significant technical issues, the game has been taken completely offline for now.
That’s why Last Oasis is currently offline: The hardcore survival game Last Oasis is facing severe technical problems. Since the Early Access launch on March 26, there have been issues with the master servers. These have prevented many players from even entering the game.
Those who managed to get in often got kicked out again after a short time and had to hope that they could get back in eventually. Frequently, after sometimes hours of waiting, the message was simply: “Sorry, we are experiencing connection issues”.
The developers are working tirelessly on a solution, but the problem seems to be particularly stubborn. A few hotfixes are likely not enough, so the project lead of Last Oasis recently reached out to the players and announced that the game would be taken completely offline for the time being.
Developer offers refunds for Last Oasis on Steam
How long will the game be offline? They have just taken the game completely offline to properly analyze the current issues. The main problem appears to be some sort of “bottleneck situation” with the master servers. To get this fixed quickly, Last Oasis is expected to remain offline for about 7 days. This is to ensure that the programmers can work calmly on a solution.
What’s the deal with the refunds? The project lead also emphasized that they would unconditionally refund all dissatisfied customers on Steam if desired. Refunds are to be processed within the next 3 days. Nevertheless, they hope that players will continue to remain loyal to Last Oasis.
How fans are reacting: In a post on Reddit, fans are positively pleased. They see the game as a great hit that is simply suffering from growing pains. They have great confidence in the developers and hope for a swift resolution to the problem.
However, the technical problems are not the only annoyance that Last Oasis is currently facing. As the game relies on hardcore PvP and does not protect newcomers, griefers are having a field day and many players are not having much fun constantly being wiped out by high-level players.
But what is Last Oasis?
Last Oasis is a hardcore survival game from the indie studio Donkey Crew that aims to do things differently from other genre representatives. A major focus is on PvP, and the mechanics of wandering bases are unique.
In Last Oasis, the Earth’s rotation has come to a standstill, resulting in one half being covered in ice and the other half in fire. Only in the middle is a small strip that is habitable: the oases. The special thing here is that the Earth continues to rotate around the sun, and the habitable area is constantly moving.
With the help of massive constructs, you, as a nomad, are moving from oasis to oasis, always fleeing from the sun and searching for rare resources like water.
So many players want to play Last Oasis: This concept excites the community and attracted many players despite considerable server problems at the Early Access launch. Over 25,000 people tried to get into the game. Not bad for a niche indie title, Last Oasis shows hit potential and immediately landed at the top of the bestsellers on Steam.
