Ant.ares: where did the network go in the game, does anyone know? for several days, the signal in the "discoveries" tab is red; probably the server is not working again
The servers that handle the discoveries are on the Hello Games side and have been overloaded and drops the connections.
This has been a problem since day one although it took almost two years to fix when Hello Games by completely redesigning the database architecture.
When launching the game a connection is made but typically the user is disconnected before the game finishes loading which is why you will see the message that a Tier was completed after the game fully loads but by then the connection has been lost.
If you want to enable a temporary connection you can wait until the game is fully launched and then briefly disconnect from the Internet with game still running and then reconnect to the Internet. The game will reconnect to the Discovery Servers but the connection will be also be very brief. If you were already in the Nexus then this would enable the Quicksilver missions and Quicksilver bot. You can also then complete the upload of discoveries.
While the game will eventually transmit the data for uploaded discoveries you can also force this during the brief period of connection to the Discovery Servers. If you have previously attempted to upload discoveries you will already have been given the in-game reward so that will not be duplicated but clicking the Upload all button will complete the process.
Hello Games does not communicate or respond to users so we are left in the dark. The exception was over two years ago when they announced that database architecture had been redesigned.
