Gamers have been affected by widespread login points on high of usually not receiving rewards when finishing missions.
That is as a result of capability of the servers not being adequate to deal with the excessive site visitors that hit the sport attributable to its sudden recognition.
Arrowhead Recreation Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt took to his personal X (previously Twitter) account to clarify the state of affairs and apologize for the disruptions+.

Hey Everybody,
Thanks in your persistence in the course of the server upkeep. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes”
aimed toward bettering the state of affairs with rewards usually not being handed out correctly, login-issues, and
server capability.To talk in technical phrases, our companies in addition to our associate companies have a price limiter that denies
connections past a quantity per minute to stop your complete system from failing. We managed to
enhance the speed restrict from 10,000/min to twenty,000/min and the overall capability of concurrent gamers was
elevated from 250,000 complete to 360,000 complete. This was nevertheless nonetheless not sufficient because the participant depend
jumped to 360k after 5 and half minutes.As such, the difficulty with login stays. If for any cause you get the “Failed to connect with server”challenge it
implies that the utmost variety of login requests for that exact minute is exceeded and/or that
the servers are full and would require somebody to log off earlier than permitting new gamers in. As talked about
above, the elevated capability ought to require much less retries to get in.As for the reward challenge, the repair was mitigated however not resolved. And with out extra server
upkeep it will nonetheless not work as supposed. If you happen to get the difficulty you possibly can strive rebooting the sport to
enhance the probabilities of it being reset. That is as a result of excessive site visitors on the servers resulting in rewards not
being tracked appropriately by our servers.I do know the development challenge is irritating, particularly for newer divers that wish to unlock candy gear.
For now, please as soon as once more settle for our honest apologies for the problems you are dealing with and relaxation assured,
we’re doing our utmost to make it proper. So as to take action, proper now it’s essential that our crew will get some
sleep and we shall be again at this once more in a number of hours.Regards,
Johan
