Once Human is getting some changes to improve performance issues, particularly to ease Lunar Oracle demand causing issues.
The targeted fix was announced after the team analyzed performance since 1.5.1. Scenarios with the Lunar Oracle tag were not just affected by issues when there was high player density and lots of Deviant spawns, it was enough to start to destabilize other scenario servers.
The change is intended to adjust Deviant invasions in those Lunar Oracle scenarios, if more than 30 players are within a 120m radius. When that happens, the invasions will temporarily pause until the situation changes. This should reduce server load and the impact on other scenarios. In the announcement, they did say it would temporarily pause but did not give details on when the invasions would resume and whether that was contingent upon reduced player numbers in the same area or other criteria.
When the change is in place, the team requests feedback on the impact on the servers, what you notice, as well as stability and player experience impressions. This is a fix that is intended to buy the team time to continue monitoring the situation and optimize server architecture to increase capacity and improve performance more permanently.
