Hey guys,

I am trying to load up my Transcendance earlier, and it couldn't redownload the mods I have purchased/opted in for (Eternity Port, Corporate Command, Alpha build Vault of the Galaxy.) It keeps saying Error from multiverse: no response from RPC message.

Not sure what any of this means, but currently I can't see any of my collection being downloaded onto my fresh install of alpha 1.8.3 (I had deleted my files earlier because it kept freezing at loading screen trying to log in).

Looking for any assistance, thanks!

Just tried myself. It took a long time to sign in and when it finally did got the error message "Error from Multiverse: Unable to send command to server." Debug log showed "All resources downloaded" as well. Collections folder still empty.

Server having a bad day. Try again later.
Stupid code. Do what I want, not what I typed in!

yes, I just purchased the Eternity Port ( finally ) and when I went to download it by running the game I got this :

My first thought - 'RPC what??'

The freezing of the game during sign in phase is both extreme and disturbing.

I am also having this error. Delay when logging in and I can't access any expansions. Same RPC error as above.

EDIT: Tried 18.3 too, same thing. Tried clearing Cache, checking firewall too.

Anyone global moderators or forum administration know if George has heard of this issue yet? I know he has a full time job outside of this game, but it has been 12 hours since the issues began so I am hoping someone has some information on when this issue will be resolved?

Or if there is any way for us to download copies of the expansions without the automatic updater (I know George moved everything to server-side a while back, but just in case there are back-up alternatives available I am not aware of).

Thanks in advance!

 I just sent an e-mail to [email protected] and pointed him at this thread, so he should know soon if he doesn’t already. If worse comes to worst, I’ll poke him about it tomorrow during his weekly stream. Don’t panic, I’ll make sure he gets the word.

Thanks! I emailed earlier too with the debug log entry showing the remote call failing.

Sorry about the problems. The server should be back up now.

This appears to be a bug in the Hexarc server: https://ministry.kronosaur.com/record.hexm?id=75237

I'm not yet sure about the root cause, but I'll look into it.

Meanwhile, all services including the Multiverse, Ministry, and Anacreon are currently working.

Thank you for addressing the issue George! Unfortunately, as you mentioned, the root cause is yet to be found. The server was worker fine earlier in the evening, but went down again a couple hours later. I have backed up my expansion file downloads so I can still access my saves that had the expansion modules open.

But the same RPC error is back when I try to load hi-scores or view my mod collection in the game menu, which will most likely affect users who have yet to install or update expansion modules on their pcs.

Best of luck in resolving this issue!

Why was it named "RPC Error"? RPC isn't THAT bad ... LOL

I've added more debug code to get to the root problem. I hope to know more the next time the problem happens.

Thank you, George.
I am really excited about trying out Eternity Port, now that I finally got around to getting it.

RPC = Remote Procedure Call. Not the user.
