Is the lobby down?

[David McCradic]

tons of servers used to show up in the multiplayer lobby, but not anymore. am i doing something wrong?

There was indeed a powerloss at the hosting place at some point today.
With RR Game release, I couldn't come here and comment, but I've been trying to have the lobby back online and now I can say it is.

It seems to be slower than usual (refresh time-wise) but at least, it's working. I will have a deeper look at that slow reaction time tomorrow.

Lobby is down J-F.

 

[J-F Chardon]

And it's back online

 

[Ivo Simons]

:thumb: Thanks for the quick response.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Looks like its down again. General failure.

 

[J-F Chardon]

Hello Ivo,

Thanks for reporting.

It's now back online.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Awesome. Thanks.

 

[J-F Chardon]

No problemo... You shouldn't say thanks when the lobby shouldn't go offline by itself in the first place

We are looking into a solution to the issue. Bit more complicated than a simple script, it seems. But we managed to make a stable fix for RaceRoom the Game authentication system that suffered from the same symptoms, so my hopes are high.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Ah good news.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Any idea J-F?

is the lobby down for everybody ?

 

[Rupe Wilson]

yep just tested..... nothing at all

 

[Martin Leyfield]

Down for all Europe, South Africa, USA, everywhere it seems. Please can simbin studios make a comment even if it's to say they do not know when it's coming back.

 

[Ivo Simons]

J-F is i believe subscribed to this thread. So hopefully he gets a email and then can fix it.

 

[Martin Leyfield]

http://www.simbin.com/contact-us/ is down so I assume they are aware of the problem. I just wish they had someone like J-F Chardon keeping us informed like last years outage.

 

[Martin Leyfield]

J-F has not been on RD since his last comment in Feb 2011 so I don't know if he will get any kind of email from this topic.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Because he had no reason to be here. Last time the server was down was last year..

 

[Martin Leyfield]

Nobody from Simbin has even acknowledged there is a problem either here at RD
or here https://www.raceroom.net/forums/index.php/topic,1871.0.html

I think it's an attack by "Anonymous", they're upset because GTR3 hasn't been released yet/
