Dark0ne Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I last gave an update on the current situation back in September. 5 weeks on I thought I’d let you know what’s happened and where we are. On the site front we think we’ve finally resolved our database cluster and it’s now working smoothly. Any errors you might see or have seen on the site over the past few days will not be related to our database cluster any longer. As it happens it turns out troubleshooting the problems with the site is a bit like pulling up the carpet to sort out some dampness only to find the floorboards need replacing, only to find your electronics underneath the floorboards need replacing, only to find your house has termites, only to find...you get my point. The good news is that the next step of our infrastructure work is now ready to be moved in to as our Cloud system is now operational. We just need to move the sites over and tweak a few lines of code. In the not too distant future we’ll also be releasing our new Nexus Mods site that I’ve been going on for yonks now that will support mods for any and all games. It would be prudent to wait until this work is ready before transitioning everything over to the new Cloud setup. However we’re aware that things can get pretty bad at times on the sites (namely Skyrim Nexus) so we’ll be using Skyrim Nexus as our guinea pig. If the cloud setup can handle Skyrim Nexus comfortably then it’s going to be able to handle all the other games being on it as well. We’re already busy transferring the files over to the Cloud and at some point this week we’ll be doing a full switch from our current dedicated server setup to the Cloud setup. You’ll see the usual maintenance page during this work. From there we can tweak our Cloud setup and go on from there. Once ready we’ll move all the sites over. It might mean in the short-term things are a bit turbulent on Skyrim Nexus but it’ll be some short term pain for some long term gain. We’re hoping that a database cluster with 80 CPU cores and 480GB of RAM plus a 48 CPU cores, 192GB RAM cloud environment equals a fully functional and fast site 24/7. On the NMM front I know I mentioned that an alpha for 0.50, with mod profiling, was “just around the corner”. However after writing that article a few important changes needed to be made. A few people have gone a bit bat-s#*! crazy at the fact we haven’t released the alpha yet after saying it was near. To you guys I shall simply say; calm the hell down. I’m sure you’d have been raging a lot more if we’d given you an update to NMM that had broken all your mods so have a little faith that any delay has occurred in your best interests. And don’t be stupid. Please. We’ll get it out to you as soon as we’re happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruftlord Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) In response to post #9707272. Thanks for the heads up. i'll keep my fingers crossed and wish you guys all the best for the coming weeks.btw: why is bat-s#*! censored in your post below, but clearly visible in the article above (which has the same content)?

Gethesmain Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wow, did people really freak out on a free-to-join website that literally hands out candy and sunshine all day? I love the nexus, Long live the Nexus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebriones Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 In response to post #9707272. #9707400 is also a reply to the same post.As Gruftlord said, good to read about the news and goings on here; always.We have noticed that lately the Nexus has been '502'ing a bit and the maintenance page has also been used, but as I am sure everyone would agree is that there's no such thing as a free lunch and there is no gain without pain. In other words, we shall patiently await the updates to the site and hope it all goes as well as something like this can; these types of things do not happen overnight with no hiccups.We are eagerly awaiting what you guys will be able to deliver to us with the new NMM. Although I am excited about what will be in this new version, I would rather a release that will not completely destroy my load order that I have spent hours-upon-hours installing, fixing, changing, fixing, chaining again and re-fixing.

kugkings Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 In response to post #9708124. #9708309, #9708627 are all replies on the same post. Couldn't have said it better myself. It's well worth the wait for the new version of NMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praevanid Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Why would people freak out about not receiving the NMM update? If they want profiles, they can use Mod Organizer. It's nice to know how the upgrade to the site is going, though. Besides more Skyrim mods, I hope The Witcher 3 will be fairly moddable and the Nexus will be ready to host some awesome Witcher mods.

sbravo Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Great news, site has been doing pretty good for me for the last few weeks. Steady improvements though, and at some point it will be a pleasure to browse these sites. Good work on all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielCoffey Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The Skyrim Nexus has been behaving nicely in my off-peak time (EU Mornings) and only really starts throwing a wobbler in the evenings. It is nice to receive these technical news stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
