Title: NOTICE: FS2NetD server downtime
Post by: taylor on October 03, 2008, 03:23:24 pm

The FS2NetD server will be offline for approximately one hour starting around 4:00am GMT.  The downtime will affect the 3.6.9 daemons, the 3.6.10 deamons, as well as the lobby chat server.

All of the software will be upgraded to include new fixes and various improvements to improve maintenance and facilitate upcoming feature upgrades.  The game daemons should be back online within minutes, but the lobby chat server will be going on and off-line randomly during the one hour period, so it's advisable to just wait the full hour before trying to play games again.

I'll try and have it all back up and going as quickly as possible and will update this post once everything is safe again.

Thanks. :)

The game daemons should now be up and running.  The lobby server is still going through some flakiness while I work out some config issues though.  So if you have trouble logging into the lobby then don't worry about it, things should be worked out by tomorrow.

If you have any problems playing a game please let me know (particularly with the 3.6.10 server).

Ok, the lobby server should be good to go again as well.  And that bug which caused the delayed login should be officially squashed as well.  :D

Yep. I'll be spending some time on multiplayer today as well so these changes will be very useful.
