MMORTS 2024 Collapsed Galaxy 2 Demo Now Available

Greetings, Commanders! We've decided to remove access restrictions. The DEMO version will continue from the Playtest version, accelerating the completion of the "Early Access" version. We hope you'll enjoy it!

[ Recent Updates ]

It's been over 48 hours since our announced Playtest maintenance time. During this period, we've made some minor adjustments:

• AddedPhysical characteristics of communication antennasWe've introduced small-scale realistic physics simulations to ground combat units. Some units have been equipped with communication antennas that exhibit inertia. When units move, turn, or suddenly stop, the communication antennas will simulate realistic swaying effects due to physical inertia.

[ Test Description ]

The DEMO version is long-term and expected to be a persistent test

• Refining core processes: Continuous fine-tuning of combat core

• Testing overall flow: Optimizing and adjusting based on Steam community feedback, preparing for the launch of the "Early Access" version

• If you find yourself stuck on the first scene, please try logging in again and switching to: Relic-02 (Steam) or Relic-03 (Steam). We will fix this issue as soon as possible. Please be patient for the update. Thank you for your understanding.

[ Time Zone Folding ]

Server time is based on PT timezone. The server will execute "time zone folding" twice daily, sharing data across different time zones. The schedule is as follows:

• a. PT timezone 03:00 ~ 15:00

• * Hong Kong local time 18:00 ~ 06:00 next day (Night) - Online

• * Los Angeles local time 03:00 ~ 15:00 (Day)

• b. PT timezone 15:00 ~ 03:00 next day

• * Los Angeles local time 15:00 ~ 03:00 next day (Night) - Online

• * Hong Kong local time 06:00 ~ 18:00 (Day)

• c. Disconnections during time zone folding switches and unstable cross-timezone connections are normal

[ Important Notes ]

This test version is gradually optimizing and improving performance and visual presentation. We ask for your understanding regarding any short-term lag or delays.
