XileRetro Server Migration
Quick infrastructure update for you all!
We're moving XileRetro from its current home in Germany to a new host in Singapore. Here's the thinking behind it:
Why Singapore?
- Better alignment with where most of our playerbase actually is
- Upgraded AMD architecture (goodbye old Intel)
- Faster storage speeds, memory and CPU across the board
- Overall improved performance and responsiveness
What This Means For You For many of you, this should translate to lower latency and a snappier experience. We're always looking for ways to make XileRetro feel smoother, and this is a big step in that direction.
When? The migration will happen either today or tomorrow. We'll post another announcement when we're about to go down.
Expected downtime: ~30 minutes while we ensure the database migration goes smoothly.
After we're back: You'll need to patch your client to connect to the new server. The patcher will handle everything automatically.
ㅤ Thanks for bearing with us - see you on the other side!
