SURVIVAL: kisses breaking everything

Red Cutout Small Heart
Sweety Dead Bhakoru Plushie
Tacoboutus
I know, I know. It’s not a Subeta holiday unless something breaks or the site lags. It wasn’t our intention to have literally everything die on us at once, but hey. It happens?

A little background information for those just tuning in for Survival. There was an issue where if you kissed someone, your strain (vial or whatever you chose from VIP) disappeared! :( Bug got a fix for it done so fast, you wouldn’t believe, but the site just wouldn’t take it. No matter how many times we redeployed, the site just refused. I’ve worked with Keith and Bug and finally, four hours later, the site itself should be running smoothly now. It’s only taken our blood, sweat, and tears, but it’s worth it for y’all to bite and kiss each other to become zombies and eat candy.

If you purchased a strain earlier and had it removed due to a kiss, file a ticket! UA’s will reimburse you. <3

We're still looking/working into everything else going on, but wanted to update you a bit!

@gh0stb0ts Glad it's back for you. If it disappears, try clearing cache first (worked for some but others like myself it's more complicated). If it doesn't work then file a ticket.

If you don't want your skin to show the morphing phases you can use a background that covers the entire HA... It's what I'm doing but I also did complex layering so it seems like the base is on top when it isn't ;) You can also use a background with a cutout of the HA, put the base under the bg so it shows less.

@KatyEightyTwo @gh0stb0ts @Linoko Did you file a ticket about the wardrobe?

It appears that for some (not all) when the new day settings occur (midnight) the wardrobe becomes dysfunctional. Staff are working on the issue.

FYI: Wardrobe won't show the infection but if you go to the healer or hover over your name to see your HA you can see the progress as long as your base is showing.

The bite buttons are back on the forum (yay) but the wardrobe isn't loading. Can't get the HA, wear/save to load or skins... so we can't change skins to bite people. Well, it's progress, keep at it *shakes pompoms*

I signed up for Green yesterday shortly after Survival started, and just now got the infection notification, so it took roughly 26 hours. For anyone thinking about resetting I guess just hang tight? -shrugs- Seems like a long time to wait to even get infected, but I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to get multiple strains.

I just I think I accepted it might be too late for me to salvage my strain plans this year and may have to just shuffle them to next year. I'm worried on giving up on Lotus now as it is a short strain and my only other option is to get one of the brand new viruses as biting is disabled. I was going to try for one of the new ones at the end for survival though when things are more on a time crunch so if I have no choice then I will take it. However unless I am told I HAVE to get rid of it, I'll just continue waiting and accept the consequences of missing out on Survival if I made the wrong choice.

I have tried logging in on firefox, edge, and chrome and still not able to change my HA even when saving with no changes on every browser. kisses all disappear and it seems my progress has been halted. fun times.

@Mayano :/ nope no change, even cleared cache for the third time before getting on edge.

I just want someone to tell if I'm progressing at this rate, I'd be fine not seeing it progress myself just knowing that I WILL see my skin unlocked at the time it should.

I'm regretting starting my vial at 4 last night now though in the meen time. --;

Rivalous

x_x I do thank staff for doing as good job so far dispite the chaos, sorry also on frusterated posts.

My gut is telling me to hold on and not give up on the vial yet but my brain is telling me I'm wasteing time not dumping it for a strain that isn't currently effected by the glitches. I don't have a tie breaker between them so mostly waiting until I hear "yes they are progressing" or "no they aren't progressing currently", either way I feel I might be kicking myself this year on choices I make or don't make in this so it's added to my likely unnessary panic >_<

If anyone has been infected and not seen the strain progress and you think enough time has passed for it to progress try going to wardrobe and resaving the ha, that should work.

The wardrobe seems to be mostly behaving, I was able to change my HA just fine. It let me wear a couple of new items from the Amour Parlor that I hadn't bought yet though, which was kinda weird.

@Muerte I had no issue with the stinging vial last year but I kinda wish I knew this though.

-right now is trying to stay in lurk mode as I've reached my frustration limit and might just give up if I have to start over as I won't get any of my goals done now-

I already bought a spare lotus vial to be safe so I may not bother asking to have it back, as I bought this one back in december. Staff is overloaded as is anyways so anything I can solve on my own lessens their workload

kaleidoscope

Alright, I joined two hours roughly before midnight and nothing... I redid the strain I wanted and waited a couple more hours after midnight and nothing. Went to bed thinking by the time I got back on I would have progress. Guess I'll file a ticket because I'm not about to redo this again.
1

Muerte

@Celtangel
It's because the vials are still causing troubles, they were being a pain last year too. Sadly all that can be done right now is see if you can get your vial back (or the sP for it), pick another strain, and hope staff are able to figure out whatever is causing the vials to be so finicky.

It seems like it doesn't work on my end.
I signed up for White 5 minutes after the news post. Around 6pm, I still did not receive my notification nor was my strain removed. I canceled but ended up canceling 4 more times because it simply wouldn't work (page refreshes, goes blank, etc.) It shows up at the Healer, but not on my avatar, nor in my wardrobe. Last night, my icon was waiting for 'Bite' and 'No biting' on the forums. Which made no sense ...

It seems like several area are glitched. I have seen users with a missing avatar too.

I’m so saddened...

3

Celtangel

@Muerte I'm sad to say that the preview in either the healer or the wardrobe doesn't work so far. I've had my vialstrain for more that 8 hours now and nothing shows. Therefore, unless I'm mistaken and hopefully I am, there is a problem with the preview of the strains. I really hope that it doesn't mean that the site sees us as infected where in reality we are not. It is pretty worrying since the vials costs money that we can't get back.

At admins: I know you guys are really working hard to fix this and I applaud you for that. On the downside, I still wonder how this could have happened if you have tested it before pushing the update. This is major. I really hope that you will extend drastically this event to make up for the time we are losing. A lot of us are part of a group that offers bites and the backlog of demands is tremendous. And, we will get through it, but this weekend was the best time as lots of us work in the week and cannot be here all day to make up for lost time.

Anyway, continue your great work and I really really hope this get fixed today.
2

Luck

The bite button has been missing for around 11 hours. Seriously what gives? Unable to help others, unable to be helped. I gave up yesterday and pretended that survival just didn't start yet and hoped it would be fixed by today... It's not. This is much worse than just losing sP in the vip.

Woke up and vial strain still isn't showing on my avatar or the healer. I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake as I have have no way to tell if I'm progressing or not. I'd hate to cancel it now as I've already used up afew hours as is.

I was worried when my HA wasn't showing the first stage of infection (that I picked up right when Survival started) even though both the VIP and the Healer said I was infected. I thought something might have glitched so I started over and only afterwards saw that first stages weren't showing for other people and I was probably fine. I'm not sure why I try to get infected early on. I always end up delayed somehow.
0

Sneaky

My stage 1 isn't showing up despite the site saying I'm infected and me clearing the cache, will it show up eventually or will I have to cancel it?

Also, if you're not going to give us extra time, can we at least have a way to shorten the waiting times for new stages, please? Like maybe paying even more SP for it, or CSC, or another currency?

I went and undid the old strain I bought and picked a new one just now and I already have a lump on my head... idk what that means haah but I cant wait to find out. Any idea why my avatars outfit wont change or why I cant add a human avatar section to my profile? thanks for all the help!

@KatyEightyTwo
If you picked a new strain, you can watch your avatar or stalk the board I linked you to. Progressions take a while to happen, though, so I don't anticipate anything cropping up soon (I am so sorry, but I don't remember how long they take right now and I don't want to give you incorrect information).
At the bottom of the Healer's page you can see your naked HA to better see the infection, though other things like kisses and snowballs will show up. But you can keep that page open or just open the avatar shown there in its own tab and refresh it whenever.

Just wondering if we'll be given extra time for our stations to develop so we can, hopefully, get all four? Because quite a lot of us aren't showing any signs yet which means we've basically lost a day with stages. I just want to know if I should reject this strain, and go for a vial or am instant new strain, or keep incubating what I've got.
0

KatyEightyTwo

@Muerte Ok thank you I am trying to get the hang of it. Is there a way to track which strain I purchased?
0

Muerte

@KatyEightyTwo
The infections aren't items ! They 'infect your avatar' and change it over a few days into a zombie (or rather, a Subeta-style zombie). Once it's done "progressing" it will unlock the skin in the wardrobe (click the Skins tab in the wardrobe to peruse them). And once it's unlocked you can take it off and put it on whenever you want, so no worries about it staying. You will also be able to get another strain once it's unlocked.
This thread will be updated as this years progressions pop up, and has some useful information, such as past infections, what they look like, the names (and choice words), and the year they were introduced.

I got myself infected with blistered hearts and it says I'm infected but when I go to the healer I don't see any signs of the first stage (there should be tiny hearts on my forehead and one on the shoulder, but there's nothing).. is it because I'm wearing a zapper skin?

Before the site went down I was trying to add that just before the event started I found myself having the exact same "not showing up" problem that's been happening with the strains.... but with my hair layer. It was I think the day before this started my avatar, and in fact all of the previously saved avatars I've made with non-wig hair, went bald all of a sudden. My avatar was bald around the forums too until I saved again.

0

Keith

@Rivalous If you save your avatar in the wardrobe, you should be able to see your infection after that!

TLDR: There is a bunch of clever code on "sapi.subeta.net" that handles caching and will clear it when you save your avatar or make changes to it -- all of the new hex code goes through that so it automatically clears. The vials are super old code that we forgot to update, so we're going to jump into that now but a workaround is to just save your avatar :)

@Amber @Bug @Keith i have a very precise question
i was probably one of the first people to choose a 2019 strain (yellow) BEFORE lag and issues started. my question is:
IF IT HAS BEEN SAYING THIS:
"You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!" from the very beginning for me, does it mean i was not affected by the issue and therefore i do not need a redo?
i just don't want to fix something if i ain't broken hahaha
thank you!

That's what I am wondering myself. I still see:
Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!

You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!

VIP page indicates I'm not signed up, refuses to let me sign up because it thinks I'm wearing a zombie skin but my HA proves I'm not. There's a disconnect between no skin being worn and VIP understanding no skin is on.

No option to "cancel"

@Merida With the site glitches, it might not show but make sure you are infected and not ready to be bitten or no bite, which are issues at the moment.

Do we have to remove our strain? I think I am ok, not glitched?

Finally infected!

As frustrating as it is to deal with, its very comforting knowing the staff of this website actively communicates with their user base and the tech people are hot on the case of all the things going wrong. Thanks for the hard work, guys.

It's showing 'bite' on the survival forum, but I have selected a 2019 strain? This is a bit confusing.
Had to cancel 3 times now due to glitches haha.

SITE. PLS BEHAVE ;w;

Hi just double checking an alert pops up that removing my virus will cost one million sP even though the button says free, is it free or not?

Merida

@teacup132 I’m infected but I haven’t gotten a notification. Went for one of the new ones

Can't remove my 'maybe not here' strain because the page will simply not load or move at all.
Things are broken too. I just give up.

Ferinsy

Oh, I see, it's broken, just commented because I saw the alert in the top of the page saying to remove it
0

jhyllah

In the boat of saying I'm infected in the forums but not in VIP but not being able to remove it. It was telling me my strain was fully progressed before but now nothing.

Thank you for working so diligently, though, staff! It is much appreciated, and I can't wait for Survival to be fully operational. Even with glitches it's already a blast <3

amandajean

I tried removing mine but nothing happens, no page refresh or anything. Seems like the button is broken? I go to the page and it says I'm infected and to wait until I get a notification about my virus. I tried clearing cache and trying again, same issue.

Ferinsy

Tried to reset my strain to see if it works, but the "I've changed my mind" button doesn't work

Sadly it won't let me opt out and try again the button doesn't do anything and the page won't refresh.

It says that I'm infected on the forums but when I go to the VIP I get the message "Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program! You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!"

I went and cleared my HA to make sure I wasn't wearing a skin.

@Amber I know it sounds silly but I got so nostalgic for early days and the first Survival and all the times the site has gone down and I just appreciate the work all of the staff put into this site and all of the love! <3 Thank you @Bug @Keith and everyone involved in keeping Subeta one of the most fun, engaging and exciting games I've played.

@Merida Are you infected or can be bitten? An infection will only start showing once "infected". Being bitten will reduce time considerably

The wardrobe IS saving... points to my naked human HA (eek!) but there's a disconnect between no skin being worn and VIP understanding no skin is on. I can't cancel VIP, it refuses to let me sign up saying I already am a zombie and streaking naked confirming I am not... someone grab a towel :o

I just cancelled my virus and reapplied for an new strain, and it worked this time. I'm infected and a bee is stinging my heart

I've paid for the new 2019 strain and it has been a few hours already without any notification.
Decided to cancel and try again ...
Hopefully it works. Sucks to be behind tho.

I'm glad the forums work! Thank you staff! I can't bite but if I can maintain a list, we can still manage.

however, my VIP page still says I have to wait...

aiya

Love you guys for all your hard work. I am an older player who hates violent games. I go in for surgery on Monday (hip replacement) and once again, Subeta gives me a place to hide, forget and just have a moment of fun. Just so you know that while it is a game, for some of us it is a much needed respite from the real world. So again, really, thank you many times over for keeping this site going even with all those cute little bugs running around!

So I went from 0 infection, to being able to re-choose the random new strain and getting 2. Hmmm.

Okay, so I cancelled it. And resigned up for random. Took my money but now I'm not getting the message that I"m signed up and will notified when I'm infected. And I tried again and same thing.
Mostly don't care about the sP as it's minor but the time wasted and I still don't know when it will work or how many times I'm going to have to sign up to get it to.

Pistachio

I also don't think my events are updating properly when I hover over the "Thank you for using the Volunteer Infection Program! You have been matched with an Infection Specialist, now you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride..." event it says less than a minute ago over it but it's been a lot longer
0

Lavender

I originally signed up for the instant option and was stuck waiting forever. I decided to just cancel and resign up rather than wait for a solution or make a ticket, I didn't want to waste any more precious virus time that I had to. This time it seems to have gone through instantly, though!

Forums still won't work for me though :(

Porygon

I'm in the same boat--I already bought one of the 2019 infections but haven't gotten the event that I got the strand yet. :hushed:

Hmmm, did the hard refresh, but now the thread that worked fine before doesn't anymore. It's also almost 2am, so maybe I'll just take the hint and go to bed? xD

You just had to go and say "the site itself should be running smoothly now" didn't you, just couldn't help ya' self, haven't you heard of jinxing things *ducks shoe thrown in general direction* :D

Thanks for all the hard work guys, appreciated! By the way did you try asking the site nicely to take Bugs code or was it a 'ram it in there and see what happens', hmm that sounds worse than I intended....

If we chose one of the new strains and are just waiting on it to take hold still we're fine, right? Or should we re-select them like those who were waiting on instant selections?

right now this theme is perfect due to site lag glitch as a infection style. Most people did not noticed this right away.

@Pistachio I would say that you don't have it anymore. Many of us that also signed up for the instant option see the message:

Meh, I'll just buy mine again, you and Bug will have enough tickets flowing anyways.

teacup132

So it seems like I have to resign up (had gotten random free, bitten till infected for crackhead) but it won't let me resign up. I did file a ticket... I'm a bit disappointed I might not be able to get reinfected tonight... even if it eventually lets me sign up forums aren't working so I can't get bitten. I appreciate you all have been working hard & must be exhausted.
1

Pistachio

I did the $25,000 to get one of the new strains at random and got the message that I'd been matched with a specialist but when I go to the VIP page it doesn't say anything about me having a strain already like it has in years past. It's all the options to pick a stain still, so do I have a strain or no?

That's IT for ya.

It's often thankless but I appreciate what you have to put up with. Good job :)

I expected the lag once survival started. I just hope I don't have to wait to long for my new random strain to kick in. I picked it once Survival started and still have the prompt:

"Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!
You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!"

I'm still confused.
Gunner says I've signed (random new is what I did) up and am still waiting. Do I need to tell him I don't want it and then sign up again or will it still happen?

I got the instant 2019 strain a little after 4 PM, but I still get the Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!

You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus! message. Am I supposed to still be waiting? Thanks!

I bought the instant strain, never received notification that I got the infection. I'm a lot more concerned about being out the time than the little bit of SP. Maybe you can stretch Survival an extra day? Isn't that what happened last year?

Thanks for all your hard work on fixing things. Hopefully the forums can load soon.

I didn't do the no wait option. That was my problem ;) So in case anyone else did what I did - make sure you went with the very bottom button and spend 25k on the new virus for the no-wait option :p Glad I double checked before doing a ticket!

So if I go to Gunnar and he says

You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!

that means I'm still infected, right? And when the forums start working again I can go get bitten?

Thank you for the hard work and for the timely update :)

I believe I purchased the Song strain from 2018. I'm not sure whether or not everything bugged out, as this is my first Survival. It looks like everything is okay, but was I supposed to receive an event notifying me of a confirmation of successful infection?

Unfortunately, your strain hasn't progressed far enough for your bite to be effective, but try again later!"
i never got my "enjoy the ride" alert, but i've got the expensive emergency exit (1m to choose a new strain) instead of the free one so it looks like i'm good to go! that's fantastic, i'm glad the fix finally stuck, thank you guys so much for powering through ;w;
