Server Migration to Singapore

We're migrating to a new Singapore host for better performance. Patch your client after maintenance to connect!

Server Migration to Singapore

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!
