NFO said they're changing something-or-other with the server and it'll be offline until they are done - but can't say when.

[jawfin]

NFO says they are doing work on our virtual machine which hosts the game so it'll be offline for 30 to 60 minutes.

[jawfin]

Work complete - server is back.

[Dephyre]

I think NFO messed up a bit, I'm getting hella lag with my low ping bruv......or it could just be me idk

[Samantha Crow]

Did not know where to post this.
Server says 85% of the pings are 999 when i look at server.
I also can't load in it stops at snapshot and disconnects.
can't be my net or game other servers running fine.
when i look at menu after it disconnects me my name is on server with 999 ping.

Having an issue myself. Loads up to 'blue cube' and then crashes instantly each time i attempt to join the server

im getting this same problem too. its making me go crazy

[Awful]

For some reason it's letting me connect

@Cloud @comedy_squad Screenshots?

[jawfin]

It seems to be running OK now. The server has had peak capacity for several hours running - 32 people on and I am seeing a heap of connect rejections as the server is full. Maybe it is how your client/game behaves to a full server which is giving this error - but of course without any information (screenshots or logs) I have absolutely no idea.

"What kind of car is it?"
"A squeaky one"
"Ohhhhhhk."

[Sanction]

both servers are down

[Jack Skywalker]

Up again!

[jawfin]

Expect a bit of downtime in the next 24 to 48 hours as our host is changing the switch on their provider.

I guess that could means we all would feel spikes that can be from NFO

[jawfin]

The transfer has been complete.

And No Rogue, changing switches effectively means pulling the cable out of one socket and plugging it into another (I am being overly simplistic) - which would mean compete disconnection during that time = unreachable.

This message from NFO: -

We have received threats from an anonymous third party demanding that we shut down a customer or face DDoS attacks against all of our customers in Dallas. We take these threats seriously. We have turned back up our second circuit and we are following up with Internap about possible new filters to assist with fighting them as they occur.

A few brief attacks have already happened. If attacks continue, some clients may see bursts of packet loss tonight.

It would seem that the current server outage may be due to that. If so, I accept this as I would prefer to see NFO counter the attack rather than compromise with some scumbags. If it's offline for too long I'll get in touch with them, but for now I'll see if we can wait it out - I'm sure they are busy enough without having to deal with petty questions from me!

Accorded to Jawfin and NFO, we just got server lagging with connection interruption, recently, and we're still see spiking issues.

Edit: Some of players are receiving 999 pings and has already been timed out

Seems like it has calm down @Doublepost

Message from NFO for downtime for the server, for the 8th of Sept, CTZ: -

Between 12:30am and 4am local time for your service on Thursday, September 8, we plan to gracefully shut down your VDS, upgrade the machine hosting it to an updated version of Xen/Linux, reboot the machine, and bring your VDS back online. We expect for this process to cause approximately 30-60 minutes of downtime for your service.

I think that is what caused server to be shutted down, it was down recently at 1:58am CDT for me

Edit: It's looks like it didn't last long, it was up.

[jawfin]

Message from nfo our host.

Upcoming Xen upgrade with reboot @ 1:30am CST on Nov 21.

We are planning to reboot the machine hosting your VDS at approximately 1:30am CST on November 21, 2016, in order to upgrade it to the most recent version of Xen. This is necessary because the new version includes a fix for a newly-discovered, critical Xen vulnerability.

Can't connect via console, or in-game server list, either.
