Since the early access of 'Akatsuki no Finale' started, the number of players of the same work has continued to increase, and according to SteamDB , the official database that summarizes statistical data such as the number of game players of Steam, the Steam version of FF14 is simultaneous. The number of connected players has reached over 90,000 every day, a new record high.
However, since the start of Early Access for 'Akatsuki no Finale', the same work has fallen into a situation where an error occurs when logging in to the world. Naoki Yoshida, the producer and director of the same work, explains the login error that occurs in FF14 on the official website.
In FF14, each world has a login limit, and in a world that has reached the login limit, new users cannot log in until 100 people are available. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of players due to the distribution of the 'Akatsuki Finale', the number of login requests has increased rapidly and errors have occurred.
'Login congestion is the cause of login errors, so'adding a large new world to all regions' is the most effective way to solve the problem,' says Yoshida. However, due to the global shortage of semiconductors, it is difficult to add a new world in FF14. FF14 requires dozens of server machines per world, but server machines are high-performance computers and are composed of many semiconductors.
However, the current situation is that it is difficult to procure server machines due to a semiconductor shortage caused by the pandemic of the new coronavirus. Mr. Yoshida said, 'We are investing more than usual and trying to secure these (server machines), but it still takes a long time to prepare the server equipment.' It explains. In addition, the server infrastructure team of FF14 is moving ahead with the introduction of spare high-performance machines that have been secured in advance, optimizing the server source code, and raising the maximum number of logins. ..
In addition, it is said that it will take several months or more to add a new world to resolve the login error.
