Server Failure During Group Gameplay Session

image

When multiple players simultaneously play Dysruption, it is possible for the backend database of the game to be overwhelmed and restart, causing players to lose access to the game for a few minutes and see the “Waiting For Response From Server” message depicted above.

This is a known issue with builds of Dysruption from version 1.0.0 up to and including at least 1.6.1, and has been encountered with as little as 15 players during a session.

The remedy to this issue requires someone with access to the AWS account the build of the game is deployed on.

Steps to fix server error

  1. Sign into AWS

  2. Select DynamoDB from AWS services

  3. Select Tables

  4. Choose the Table for the build of the game players are on. This will be the name of the deployment followed by “-Prod-Database”.

  5. Choose Additional Settings

  6. Choose Edit image

  7. Change Edit Capacity from Provisioned to On-Demand image

Note that doing this will likely result in a higher AWS bill. It is best practice to return the capacity to Provisioned with 5 Read units and 10 Write units after the session is complete.
