1 00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:09,321 Hello, tankers! 2 00:00:09,321 --> 00:00:13,603 There is one more holiday weekend left to celebrate the birthday of our game. 3 00:00:13,603 --> 00:00:17,888 Check the calendar — go ahead and complete the remaining tasks to get your prizes! 4 00:00:17,888 --> 00:00:22,426 And now we would like to share some useful news with you, so here’s what we’ve prepared… 5 00:00:22,426 --> 00:00:27,505 DDoS 6 00:00:27,505 --> 00:00:32,134 Since the start of the Tanki Birthday celebrations, this problem has become particularly acute. 7 00:00:32,134 --> 00:00:36,263 For weeks we had problems with server connection and it was hard to play. 8 00:00:36,263 --> 00:00:39,378 But starting from this Wednesday, this problem will no longer exist. 9 00:00:39,378 --> 00:00:44,656 This happened right after we announced that the mobile version of the game won’t be available for some time. 10 00:00:44,656 --> 00:00:48,523 We have had these problems with attacks on the game servers for a year already. 11 00:00:48,523 --> 00:00:51,767 Many of you ask what’s going on with the protection of the servers. 12 00:00:51,767 --> 00:00:54,947 Tanki Online has permanent protection from attacks. 13 00:00:54,947 --> 00:01:02,139 However, it is much harder to protect our game than in other projects due to the network protocol we use to connect players to our servers. 14 00:01:02,139 --> 00:01:06,150 The protection solution we had has served us well over the past 5 years. 15 00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:10,838 But, it no longer covers our needs and doesn’t help with the current level of the attacks. 16 00:01:10,838 --> 00:01:16,266 Over the past year, the power of the attacks has dramatically increased throughout the video game industry. 17 00:01:16,266 --> 00:01:21,080 Once it happened, we immediately started working on strengthening our protection from attacks. 18 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,756 But unlike last year, this time, the attacker started reacting to our changes and new solutions. 19 00:01:26,756 --> 00:01:31,756 We have fixed some vulnerabilities during the year and significantly improved our protection. 20 00:01:31,756 --> 00:01:36,335 Moreover, we also found and tested a solution that is guaranteed to protect us. 21 00:01:36,335 --> 00:01:41,511 However, this solution has one disadvantage — it doesn’t work with the Android version of the game. 22 00:01:41,511 --> 00:01:47,789 Tanki Online is a cross-platform game and we are focused on giving you an opportunity to play it on any device. 23 00:01:47,789 --> 00:01:52,076 Thus, we do not find disabling the mobile version permanently as an option. 24 00:01:52,076 --> 00:01:57,026 We focused on other protection solutions and they worked fine till the start of Tanki's Birthday. 25 00:01:57,026 --> 00:02:01,311 Unfortunately, those other solutions do not let us protect the servers anymore. 26 00:02:01,311 --> 00:02:07,040 The attacker has found a way to bypass it and thus it is hard to play the game since the beginning of June. 27 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,381 We thank you all for your patience and your nerves of steel. 28 00:02:10,381 --> 00:02:17,052 Despite the very serious level of attacks, you have shown us that you are ready to stay with us and give us enough time to solve the problems. 29 00:02:17,052 --> 00:02:22,491 So, what are we going to do? Don’t we have any other option but to disable the mobile version of the game now? 30 00:02:22,491 --> 00:02:27,606 Global update of Android to HTML5 31 00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:32,593 The plan to work on strengthening the protection was not the only way to solve our difficulties. 32 00:02:32,593 --> 00:02:36,543 If the protection is only compatible with the HTML5 version of the game, 33 00:02:36,543 --> 00:02:40,589 then we need to convert the mobile version of the game to the HTML engine! 34 00:02:40,589 --> 00:02:43,867 We have been working on a new mobile version during this year. 35 00:02:43,867 --> 00:02:49,963 In addition to being fully compatible with the browser version, it also has a number of significant improvements. 36 00:02:49,963 --> 00:02:54,877 The new mobile version of the game has the same interface as the PC version of the game. 37 00:02:54,877 --> 00:02:58,328 The new client can scale to any screen size and resolution. 38 00:02:58,328 --> 00:03:00,624 A new method of controls has been developed 39 00:03:00,624 --> 00:03:05,470 that lets the players rearrange the controls by placing the buttons anywhere they like on the screen. 40 00:03:05,470 --> 00:03:07,480 And, of course, PRO Battles! 41 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,253 You will find PRO Battles support on the new version, providing the same exact features as the PC version! 42 00:03:13,253 --> 00:03:17,036 We have been working on this update for a very long time 43 00:03:17,036 --> 00:03:18,755 and wanted to announce the good news to you 44 00:03:18,755 --> 00:03:22,585 after testing is over and we are ready to update the old version of the game. 45 00:03:22,585 --> 00:03:27,448 We have focused our resources on updating the mobile version of the game as much as possible. 46 00:03:27,448 --> 00:03:30,040 And now we just ask you to wait a little longer. 47 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,542 For us, as developers, it will be easier to maintain and update the application. 48 00:03:34,542 --> 00:03:40,017 There will no longer be a situation where we work on one game client while ignoring the other. 49 00:03:40,017 --> 00:03:44,192 And, of course, the level of protection against DDoS attacks will significantly increase. 50 00:03:44,192 --> 00:03:49,911 The only thing left to do on your part is check for the minimum system requirements of the game. 51 00:03:49,911 --> 00:03:51,730 They will increase by a bit. 52 00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:57,998 We will announce specific data about hardware requirements once the testing is completed and the game is optimized. 53 00:03:57,998 --> 00:04:02,850 50 levels of Tanki Fund 54 00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:04,273 We’re not letting you relax!
