Fractured Online Team Teases New Mounts After Server Downtime for Dupe Exploit and Failing Hard Drive

The updates were shared on the game’s Discord by Dynamite’s CEO Jacopo, who maintains that work continues on the big patch, including the move to open a test server to all. Yet, these obstacles needed to be addressed right away.
In a message shared on Saturday, he says that they “got an emergency call from our game masters about a possible ongoing hacking. As it turns out, the call was correct — we are dealing with a dupe exploit.”

As that work continued along with the investigation on the dupe exploit, they also noted that the hard drive for the server that was hosting the continent of Terra in the game was failing. Server downtime continued, as the message was shared at about 1:00 a.m. in Italy, as the team continued to work on a fix, as well as stabilizing the servers with plans to continue work throughout the weekend.
