🛠️ [Realife Simulator – Infrastructure Overhaul Announcement]Status: Planned Maintenance and Architectural Refactoring Start Date: July 28, 2025 Platforms Affected: All client/server modules and web services are temporarily offline. 📌 Developer’s Note:Realife Simulator was envisioned as a project that would bring life simulation closer to reality through uniquely engineered systems. Over time, however, the growing feature set, rising system load, and complexity of internal modules have exceeded the limits of our current architecture. We have now reached a stage where incremental patches are no longer viable. Instead, we are initiating a full-scale technical reconstruction of the game. This is no longer just a game—it's evolving into a modular, next-gen digital city simulation framework. 🧩 Why a Full Overhaul Was NecessarySeveral structural and technical shortcomings have driven this decision: Inadequate security protocols: The legacy login system is no longer secure by today’s standards, lacking token-based protection. Server performance bottlenecks: The monolithic backend structure cannot handle increased concurrent user activity efficiently, resulting in latency spikes and crashes. Steam discoverability issues: The game’s name and storefront algorithms have reached visibility saturation, limiting its growth potential. Unreal Engine Blueprint fatigue: Actor overloads and network replication issues have severely impacted runtime performance. Subsystem disconnects: Core systems (identity, banking, license, rental) are poorly integrated, causing cascading failure chains. 🔧 What’s Coming in the New System?🎮 Game Client (Unreal Engine 5.5)Optimized actor replication using NetCullDistanceSquared and NetDormancy. Physics-based AI traffic rewritten from scratch for higher realism and performance. Mission logic will be fully integrated with secure user verification. Dynamic weather, day-night cycles, and trigger-based environmental responses reengineered. 🖥️ Backend (API + Server Services)Existing PHP scripts will be replaced with secure JWT-protected RESTful Node.js APIs. Full SQL injection protection through prepared statements and strict parameter binding. Microservices introduced for key systems: bankService, identityService, transportService, etc. 🌐 Web Panel & Launcher InterfaceAll launcher views (BankView.xaml, GamesView.xaml, AccountApplicationView.xaml) will receive a full UI/UX redesign. HTML panels will be reconnected using secure token logic. Players will be able to view real-time data including bank statements, transaction logs, and delivery/job histories. ⚠️ Temporary Service Interruptions May OccurDuring this transformation, you may experience: Sudden service outages Transaction errors Unexpected system crashes 🔔 Please be patient during this period. Our team is working around the clock to minimize disruption and ensure a smooth transition. 🔐 Data Security and Community ContinuityAll player data has been securely backed up using AES-256 encryption. Steam wishlists and community momentum will be preserved and aligned with the upcoming structure. Your in-game assets and achievements will NOT be lost during the migration. 🚀 From Legacy to Next-Gen: What’s ChangingSystem Legacy Implementation New Implementation Authentication Cookie + Username Token-based JWT + Role Auth Banking System PHP + Direct SQL REST API + Secure SQL Layer Job / Mission Handling Local BP Logic Server-triggered + JSON Pipeline Launcher Communication Basic HTTP Calls Token Auth + Structured Routing Steam Integration Static Page Visibility Optimized for Algorithmic Ranking 🧭 In Summary: This is Not Just Maintenance – It’s Evolution.This is not a patch. This is a rebirth. A redefined vision where Realife Simulator becomes a technological milestone in modern city simulation. Soon, under a refreshed name and identity, our new platform will rise with stronger foundations and deeper systems—more robust, more immersive, and more alive than ever before. 📡 Server Status.The servers for the game are currently active and can be connected to. Note: There may be momentary interruptions.

One step closer to reality. Infrastructure renewed, system stability improved, and gameplay deepened. 🚚 Trailer Missions Stabilized Fixed an issue where trailers would disappear after passing certain areas during truck delivery missions. Trailers are now no longer affected by World Partition and remain consistently visible throughout the task. General performance and synchronization of trailer missions have been improved. 🧾 New Banking Interface The entire banking system has been redesigned from the ground up. Introduced a modern flat UI, STG Bank-style card layout, transaction history, and live balance display. All transactions are now 100% token-secured and encrypted. Deposit and withdrawal processes have been optimized, and invalid actions are now blocked. 🛂 Identity System v2 – Citizenship & Criminal Record The updated identity system now includes citizenship history and criminal records. Crimes committed by players, identity details, and verification status can now be viewed through both the launcher and the web panel. Police can now officially assign crimes to players, fully integrated with the backend system. 🌐 Advanced Web Integrations Unreal Engine ↔ PHP ↔ HTML ↔ MySQL backend fully optimized. Identity verification, job switching, and bank applications are now live, secure, and fully accessible from the web. A new virtual address structure and enhanced token system have been implemented for maximum reliability. 🔧 General Improvements In addition to trailer despawn fixes, server disconnect issues in specific map zones have been resolved. Performance across all systems has been enhanced for a smoother and more stable gameplay experience. Players can now change their job every 40 minutes. Spawned actors are no longer removed automatically by World Partition. Bank account application and evaluation screens have been visually and structurally upgraded.
