BalenaScape has moved to its own server. Until now the game shared a machine with other customers of our host. Whenever they got busy, the game had to wait, and that is the lag you felt: short freezes, sometimes several seconds long. Tonight we moved everything to a powerful dedicated server in Germany that runs BalenaScape and nothing else.
It runs beautifully. Before the move we put the new server through its paces with hundreds of test players at once, and every game tick stayed right on time. Your account, bank, Exchange offers and votes all came along: nothing was lost.

No logins through a VPN or hosting server. To keep bots out, the game no longer accepts logins from VPN services, VPS and other hosting servers. Play from your normal home or mobile connection. Using a VPN for a good reason? Ask a staff member on Discord.
