Version 13.0.0

To ensure the best possible rollout, we'll introduce:

• A brand-new PTS round running on the same hardware setup as LIVE, giving us results as close to reality as possible
• A “copy to PTS” feature, allowing you to bring your LIVE account into the test environment with ease on Wednesday (this setting has been deactivated from Alpha)
• A mostly rewritten codebase covering nearly all OGame features (with only a few exceptions like chat)
• Noticeable performance improvements, mainly due to significantly fewer backend calls
• A variety of existing issues have already been resolved as a natural result of rebuilding the system

Behind the scenes, this update represents a major leap forward:

• A new centralized data system that changes how technologies, bonuses, and player data are handled
• A shift from a historically grown, fragmented structure to a cleaner, unified architecture
• More efficient calculations, eliminating redundant processing across the game
• Faster loading times, smoother gameplay, and more consistent values across all platforms
• A strong foundation that enables faster feature development, more precise fixes, and continuous improvements
• A future-proof system that frees us from the limitations of outdated structures

• The new update will be deployed on a new Public Test Server (PTS) server, Singularity, on May 13 around 14:00 CEST.
• A dedicated section on the Origin community forum will be created for feedback and bug reporting
• Bug hunter rewards will be granted only for well-documented and confirmed reports submitted in the Origin forum section (all languages are accepted, but English is preferred

Rewards for eligible reports:

• Bug Hunter exclusive avatar
• Expedition Bundle 30d (includes Expedition Slot Items, Expedition Turbo 100%, Expedition Computer, and Expedition Resources Booster)
• Commanding Staff 30d

Note: Rewards are for you live account. I will contact you with a DM on this forum requesting the detail.
