Stress Test FAQ

The time is finally upon us, and no, it's not April Fools! We are proud to announce our second Stress Test weekend starting April 1st 10am EST.

We want to ensure our servers can handle a large influx of players before Early Access, and that’s where you come in! While we’re tinkering around in the background, check out all of the new changes we’ve been making to Predecessor from April 1st - April 3rd. We’re excited to hear what you think, so please let us know what you loved, what could be improved, and everything in between.

Please Note - As this weekend is a Stress Test Weekend, you may experience intermittent connectivity. Rest assured we'll be working hard to address any issues that arise. Keep an eye on our socials for updates.
