Vostok Games launched North American servers for its post-apocalyptic multiplayer shooter Survarium last month, at the same time as the game launched on Steam. It then decided to merge them with the European servers, ultimately leaving NA players unhappy with high pings.
So now they’ve changed their minds again. In a Twitlonger post, Vostok explained that the next update would be un-merging the game’s servers once again.
“For the remainder of Version 28 the servers will remain as they are,” the developer writes. “Come update V0.29 there will be an in-game server browser where you, the player, will be able to asses various available servers in real-time and select the one you wish to play on.
“This will include NA, EU and CIS along with any other regions that may launch with 29. We are hoping to release the next version sometime in June. So, you won’t have to wait too much longer.”
Vostok says it’s “sincerely and deeply sorry” for the server issues. Survarium is out now on Steam, though currently you can only play the game’s PvP multiplayer modes, and not the more interesting Freeplay mode, which sets players loose in the irradiated wilderness and then watches while they hunt each other down like dogs.
