Technical Migration, Fixes and Bug Reporting Reminder

🚀 Fixes and Migration

A major technical migration has been deployed in Nova Raider.

This update includes significant internal changes, several gameplay-related adjustments, and important preparation for upcoming content.

Because this update affects high-impact systems, some unexpected issues may appear. Players are encouraged to report bugs and avoid any misuse of unintended behavior.

🛠️ Internal Changes and Migration

A database migration has taken place, and the internal server structure has changed considerably again.

This may affect several areas of the game, including:

Flash Missions and Events: new missions have been added and now use the same engine as Season and Epic missions. Their sprites will return soon, but some missions may not work correctly or may contain translation errors.

Interactions: everything that validates or blocks a shot has been reviewed, including shots blocked on buildings with buffs.

Spawn mechanics: monsters, buildings, and players may behave unexpectedly in some situations.

Death and respawn mechanics: some behavior may also need further testing.

Scheduled events: events such as Big Daddy, World Cup, and Halloween may be affected.

Monster AI: monster rewards, movement, and shooting behavior have changed. Some monsters may temporarily stop reacting.

Skin purchases and event skin bonuses may require additional testing.

HQ and Station destruction mechanics have changed: buildings no longer disappear when destroyed in Stations. They now turn gray, like in HQs. If the Hypercenter is destroyed, everything is still teleported to the inventory as before.

🐞 Bug Reporting

Please report any bugs in the dedicated bug report space.

The most useful reports will likely come from the areas listed above, as many of them were affected by the migration.

⚠️ Exploit Reminder

Any exploit or cheating considered hard-cheating will be severely punished, including with an immediate permanent ban.

Using bugs instead of reporting them is not tolerated.

📦 Next Steps

The server rework is now 99% complete.

Only the migration of logs, statistics, and rankings to their final structure remains.

This may have been the last and most delicate update of this kind.

If everything goes well, the Quality of Life update could arrive very soon.

Thank you all for your patience, cooperation, and involvement.
