纽约(CNN)离线数小时后,Fortnite 服务器于美国东部时间周三下午 6:50 恢复。
几个小时以来,玩家无法登录流行的大逃杀。根据 Fortnite 的官方 Twitter 帐户,该公司在周三下午“正在调查登录、配对和其他问题”。后来的一条推文说:“在我们调查稳定性问题的解决方案期间,游戏服务器目前处于离线状态。”
Fortnite 的制造商 Epic Games 在其更广泛的游戏库方面也遇到了困难。在 Epic Games Store 帐户周三发布的一条推文中,用户被告知 Epic 正在“调查在您的库中下载、安装和启动游戏的问题”。
Fortnite 通过 Twitter 提醒玩家恢复服务,并承诺玩家“下周提供更多细节,说明我们正在做什么以帮助您弥补失去的时间。”
Epic Games 首席执行官蒂姆·斯威尼 (Tim Sweeney) 在与苹果和谷歌等公司在用户进行应用内购买时收取的费用的公开斗争中成为头条新闻。 2020 年,Fortnite 从 Apple 的 App Store 中删除,因为它允许用户直接从 Epic 购买游戏内货币,规避 Apple 的费用并违反公司关于应用内购买的政策。 Epic Games 很快起诉了苹果,在一场备受瞩目的法庭案件中,两家公司就苹果削减应用内交易以及这家 iPhone 制造商是否垄断展开了争论。
主持此案的法官伊冯娜·冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯 (Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers) 在 9 月份就诉讼的大部分主张支持苹果公司,尽管她在某一点上确实同意 Epic 的观点。 Apple 不能禁止应用开发者告诉用户 App Store 之外的支付选项。 Epic 在该决定宣布后提出上诉,而 Fortnite 尚未返回 App Store。
After hours offline, Fortnite access has been restored
New York (CNN)After hours offline, Fortnite servers were restored at 6:50pm EST Wednesday.
For hours, players were unable to log into the popular battle royale. The company was "investigating log-in, matchmaking, and other issues," on Wednesday afternoon, according to Fortnite's official status Twitter account. A later tweet said that "game servers are currently offline while we investigate a solution to stability issues."
Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, also experienced difficulties with its wider gaming library. In a tweet on Wednesday posted by the Epic Games Store account, users were told that Epic was "investigating issues with downloading, installing and launching games in your Library."
Fortnite alerted players to the restored service via Twitter, promising players to provide "more details next week on what we're doing to help you make up for lost time."
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has made headlines in a public battle against fees collected by companies like Apple and Google when users make in-app purchases. In 2020, Fortnite was removed from Apple's App Store for allowing users the ability to purchase in-game currency directly from Epic, circumventing Apple's fees and violating the company's policy around in-app purchases. Epic Games soon sued Apple and, in a high-profile court case, the two companies sparred over Apple's cut of in-app transactions and whether the iPhone maker is a monopoly.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who presided over the case, in September sided with Apple on most of the lawsuit's claims, though she did agree with Epic on one point. Apple cannot prohibit app developers from telling users about payment options outside of the App Store. Epic appealed the decision after it was announced, and Fortnite has yet to return to the App Store.
