    Fire the hamsters and give the job to a mule chasing a carrot on a stick! They keep taking too many coffee breaks and they have already used up all their PTO! lol! Good job getting things back up for us. I will put a gold star in your review file and see that you get extra chunky raisins in your cookies 😃


    Haven't been able to lure in a mule, we're stuck with genetically engineered hamsters due to earning a bad reputation in their community for churning through them.

    For what it's worth we're always going to support 3rd party development, as we ourselves after all are 3rd party and can't say otherwise, we just won't be part of the distribution method if it directly involves edits to the client without us being able to see *all* of the related code to ensure we aren't crapping on EA's lawn.

    tentative time set

    Hi folks,

     

    Just letting you know, the date/time isn't hammered out completely yet, but probably sometime this upcoming week the game service (and potentially our websites) may be offline temporarily while we perform some needed updates. Follow this thread for more details.

    The tentative time for this will be Tuesday evening the 23rd, after 7pm Eastern time US until midnight Eastern time, or 12-5 GMT. Probably won't take that long as we're trying to do anything we can ahead of time, but want to be clear that this does mean services are down/will be down. If for some reason the forum is unavailable, you can reach us at the Facebook page.

    Alright, I think we're back up. Thank Microsoft for your slightly boring Sunday morning. Long story short a decision we made during setup last year caused issues with where Microsoft planned to go with something and prevented updates. Those inadvertently caused the server issues last night. Anyway, things are up/coming up, we'll see how stable.

    The other thread wasn't the right place to say it, but what I have is a C++ version of the server. I remember it being 2009 when I was playing and had the server source. But that was also long enough ago that who knows. Maybe I'm crazy. What I have is a full source code and DB copy. I could run an active multiplayer server (granted, nowhere near as complete as what yall have) right now. Well, if I felt like reinstalling visual studio. It's got tons of bugs, and doesn't stay up anywhere near as long as your current server.

     

    This is not me bragging or being abrasive. I am simply laying out facts. You're one guy. You have a life. I'd hate having to support this game 24x7 too; I've been on-call a lot, I hated it. What was being offered, fundamentally, was yet another door people could knock on when you were off doing life stuff. Maybe I would be in a place to fix it while you were away. I get it, you get abused constantly. I was not being mean.

    Don't worry, my feelings don't hurt easily. It was the tone of your post that prompted my response in the same tone. Given that we give no representation or requirement that we're up 'most of the time' such as a profit business might, 9 hours is not all that long. Probably wouldn't have been that long even if I'd seen it last night before running out of steam, but I didn't.

    I'm retired, and if being a 'game dev' means I can whip the hamsters into working again in < 9 hours, so be it. I used to run my own local copy of the EMU back in 2009 when the source code wasn't closed. I doubt most of that code is still in use, but regardless...I know how it *used* to work. It's still down, btw.


    I am not, and also have a home, family, and other life to maintain. Sometimes that means it stays down for a while. The code base isn't even in the same programming language as it was back then. Incidentally, if memory serves we didn't even get the multiplayer working properly until like 2010/2011, seeing as we only had about a year of 'beta' prior to going to 'sunrise' in 2012. It sounds like you might have been referring to the single player client we had, or the earliest versions of multiplayer, either way most of that code was in Java and none of it is Java now.

    Anyway, while I can appreciate the point of view, there are certainly other things to do for a few hours now and again.

    It's back up, btw.

    Finally free from work hours. Proceeding to look into the issue a bit, please DO NOT attempt to login during this time, I will let you all know when it is safe to try again. I'm attempting to capture some data, so attempted logins right now could pollute and complicate the issue.

    It does not appear to be from the server side, I see people changing sectors which requires that functionality each time (part of the gating mechanism).

    I can dump it again but if this keeps up it may have to stay down a while for it to get investigated properly. I am working now so that won't be until later in the day.

    Server was up, login server/comm server had crashed. Restarted it all, should be accessible in a moment. FYI there is a known issue where the Christmas missions may not be working right, this will be rectified soon and I'll leave it in place for a while after Christmas so everyone gets a chance for it.
