[Known Issue][May 2025] Ongoing Performance Issues



HellOw everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has reported issues within the game after the maintenance yesterday.

We would like to assure you that we're working to resolve these issues as soon as possible and ask for your continued patience while we continue investigating and applying fixes to the game.

I've listed a few of the most common issues below:
- Game lag,
- Game slowness,
- Delay in receiving password reset emails,
- Delay in receiving verification emails,
- Horse competitions becoming stuck "In progress"

Please know that the above list is not exclusive and is only the most frequent issues being encountered by our players.

We thank you in advance for your continued patience regarding these issues.

I had two objectives and did one early. The second one was to retrieve a product from the workshops so had to wait for my workshop to be completed.. So on completing that objective by retrieving something I go to by objectives and find that object changed to wake 20 horses.

This is happening on other servers so it also needs to be looked into.

Objectives have been changing today. I did one this morning but my second objective keep changing.

I'm so glad I read the replies here about the objectives—I honestly thought I was going insane because I remembered very vividly having two different objectives this morning and putting them off until tonight, and when I checked this evening, they were completely different. default smiley xd

New problem. All my pastries were at 1 year along in their pregnancy yesterday and they were worked and bedded down yesterday.
Today they are still only 1 year along and they should be 1 year and 2 months. If this continues they will never give birth.

I'm having an issue with a boarding extension request (one of my boarders is asking for an extension). When I hit ''accept'', nothing happens--the request is still there and I can't accept it.

Cancel that complaint--it has now been accepted (on the 5th try).

HellOw everyone,

As you're aware, all our servers were migrated in the past weeks.

This caused some issues, such as:

Low performance (lag, slowness);
Deleted horses' histories;
Unavailable payment methods;
E-mails from Howrse are not being received;
Inability to log in;
The daily objectives were reset;
Special horses are not providing their gift;
The Pieces of Cloud Pack from the May Packs are not working;
The ranking is not updated on some versions.

While some of these issues were already fixed, others are still under investigation.

Please note that our team is focused on resolving all reported issues. While we do not have confirmation regarding potential compensation, our team will assess compensation on a global scale after the issues are resolved.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate everyone's patience!

Hello,

Today, all the servers underwent maintenance to address the performance issues.

We have already received positive feedback from multiple players. Can you please let us know if the server performance (lag, slowness) is better or resolved for you?

And now that this was addressed, the team will continue tackling the rest of the issues, for example:

Unavailable payment methods;
E-mails from Howrse are not being received;
Inability to log in;
Special horses are not providing their gift;
The Pieces of Cloud Pack from the May Packs are not working;
The ranking is not updated on some versions.
And a few others...

Please note that once the main problems are resolved and the game has stabilized, we will work on compensation for all the issues that happened in the past weeks.

Once more, we are really sorry about the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience over the past weeks!

Hello,

Regarding the global compensation, our team is still unable to share details about all the compensation planned, but one very likely option is an extension of the privileges included in the May packs for all players.

Please be patient, as it may take time to prepare the script for the compensation distribution, and the team is not working with fully operational tools right now.

About the May Packs: the date was extended and they will be available until Wednesday, June 18th, at 10 am (Paris time).

Regarding the Payment methods: We are aiming to bring Xsolla back by the end of next week at the latest. Unfortunately, we cannot say if Paysafe will be fixed before the 18th.

Other than that, the team is still busy with getting everything else up and running again (emails, preprod, many of our internal tools, etc).

We'll keep you updated when we have more news.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hello,

We have a new update on the current situation.

The payment method Xsolla should be back by the end of next week. Unfortunately, we still cannot guarantee anything for Paysafe.

Regarding the Email issue, the technical team had a breakthrough today, and hopefully, the problem will be fixed at the beginning of next week. (Maybe even today?)

We know the recent disruptions have impacted your experience, and we want to make it right with a generous compensation package.

We can already say that, in addition to the privileges from the May packs, we will also extend the VIP and Pegasus subscriptions for the concerned players.

A more global compensation will contain a bundle of items for everyone, such as some luck items and aging points. Those are only examples, and the detailed content and number of items still need to be confirmed.
We cannot share a date for when it will be distributed, as we want to fix the email issue first, and the Dev team will need some time to code the compensation script.

Additionally, the team is still busy ensuring our internal tools are properly operational again and addressing the remaining issues.

Thank you for your understanding, and have a nice weekend!default smiley (ow)
