CCHyper Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) It's been almost 20 years since the last official server went offline... . Is back! Many thanks to Chad1233 and N3tRunn3r for the screenshots!We (OmniBlade, CCHyper, tomsons26) are currently in the process of performing a controlled alpha test with selected players (including some of the original top-ranking Sole Survivor players!). This has been quite the journey for us to get Sole Survivor back online; Including reaching out to many of the old school Sole Survivor players for feedback and balancing, uncovering an early Sole Survivor beta test build, and also getting the game work on modern systems. These alpha testing sessions will help us balance the game modes to ensure they are as close to the original servers as possible. Once we are happy with the performance and stability of the server configuration, and we are able to perform player load tests, we will start to explore permanent solutions for hosting full-time servers, allowing us to finally open up the servers to the whole community! So, make sure to follow this topic to be notified of any updates!"Welcome to Sole Survivor" Edited January 24, 2022 by CCHyper 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myg Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hyper and crew, OmniBlade, tomsons26, pulled off a miracle here. A lot of us had given up hope of ever seeing a working server again and then this happened. It still hasn't registered in my mind fully but things are moving quickly it seems as the old modes and settings come online. It even works through the classic Westwood Chat program still hosted by XWIS like it did in it's glory days. I've been testing it with them for the past couple weeks and this is the real thing through and through. It is great to have the final piece of the "puzzle", when it comes to C&C games, back and in working order. All glory and credit goes to CCHyper, OmniBlade and tomsons26 for actually pulling this off and opening a new chapter for C&C. Huzzah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCHyper Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Just a quick update for everyone! Server performance seems to have improved thoughout our testing phases, and gameplay is stable. We also have a new permanent hosting solution thanks to the great team over at W3DHub ! Keep posted for updates, we hope to be opening up to the public very soon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Factor Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Heck yeah @CCHyper! Been an OG C&C fan and part of the forum since the early 2000's. The work you, Ny3rguds and Tore among other amazing peeps in this community have done to keep C&C thriving has been nothing short of amazing! I've honestly hoped for the chance to play sole survivor since I heard about it from here. Can't wait for this! I'd love to be a play tester if you lads would like. All in all, thanks for this awesome update. Happened to come online and revisit the forum for nostalgia today and god damn, what great news this is! Good luck! Looking forward to more news.

TheodoreHarper Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I waited a long time for the server to be restored and I'm glad to enjoy a spin-off C&C game I missed out on. It's fun as I imagine it would be! The developers credited above deserve a huge thank you as well for their efforts.

TigaShark Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) I was one of those original Top players, I remember TMF123 (at least a player similar to that) and Snow (at least the original guy was Snow, IIRC he was only about 13 when this game was live), of course that was up until VTED said I shouldn't play on my Sysop account LOL, but was often rank 1,2,3 ish as TigaShark, SnoFalcon or FalconSSH . So many hours of good times playing this game and now im looking i recognize a ton of other names too Edited April 2, 2023 by TigaShark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho135 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I have background in SQL and Oracle if needed. Not sure what westwood had as the back end. I know they used to use Oracle database back end just not sure if they did for Sole survivor or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho135 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Well because once upon a time I helped them fix a few issues they ran into so I know they used Oracle overall in the company. I am just not sure if they did directly with sole survivor. I would assume they did but never worked on it directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad1233 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) That's cool to know! But unfortunately there's not much you can do for Sole Survivor. But keep in touch with any news updates and you'll know when a server is back out. You can also join the cncnet discord if you haven't, games will be arranged there in the foreseeable future.

carlic Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Man...I was just randomly googling Sole Survivor for nostalgia and came across snows YouTube video and then ended up here. So cool you guys are working on this. I played when I was in my early teens under tswiftVSF (I think or other variations of tswift) not to be confused with swifty (who I think was another older player). Look forward to your continued work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
