Server stability?

Post by **Dave** » March 24th, 2005, 8:36 pm

Could users please give me feedback on how stable the multiplayer server has been for the last week or so?

I have been testing a new code base, and while it looks very stable to me, I want to hear it from users themselves.

It is as bad as it was ever - at least for me.

I have had no problems yet this week, while I could not get in some times in the last few weeks.

Okay. What specific problems do you have? Do you have trouble connecting to the server? If so, what error message or what specifically happens when you try to connect?

Does the server disconnect you sometimes? Does it say you are disconnected, or does it simply stop responding?

Do you experience out of sync bugs?

Basically I need to know very specifically what the problems are to be able to fix them, because personally the server has worked flawlessly for me -- I am able to connect every time, and don't get booted, though I have only occasionally played a full game there. And this isn't because the server is co-located with me -- it's hosted an ocean away from where I am.

I will be very happy to tell you my sad story,
so I am using Win Pro...
I am experiencing nearly all type of things you have mentioned above..
1) Sometimes I am just waiting for oponent to end turn, but he is waiting for me to do the same, we are still in my turn from his point of view - OUT OF SYNC??
2) Regularly - DISCONNECTION FROM SERVER OCCURED and I am back in the main menu of the game, without a chance to get back with the same nick, so I change my nick, come back as observer - see the whole replay and play till the next disconnect. Or in the worse case - the disconnection is reported in the replay too as OUT OF SYNC ERROR and I am not even able to excuse myself, cause I do not get to the same turn as oponent. Today, after my rejoining, server somehow chose a turn 7 as turn for me and turn 4 for my opo.
3) Connecting to the MP server is without problem, but I am experiencing problems with campaign one - sometimes waiting 5 minutes for getting there in the waiting for response - sometimes connection times out , Staying on the MP server is much harder than getting there because I am experiencing out of sync, or not reported disconnectios even in the lodge - so I am responding to players that are not there anymore and nobody, i presume, is able to see my painful writings there like " Am I Here please?"

). I hope that nobody is so cruel to let these cries be without saying "yes" at least

).
I add my todays really great 20 out of sync error replay..
Thanks really for even trying to improve it, but it can be just my con

I'm not able to connect online for about one week

All the time connection timed out... I don't know what is wrong :/ All other sites/torrents/servers work fine...

I get random connection timed out errors, but mostly I get in easily.

I can usually get on; even though I usually prefer the AI(until my skills significantly improve!)

Lately,... tho it might have been fault of my putor, I had problems with server disconnecting games when I was hosting. What was bad about it, is that game was listed for a long time afterwords, and I could not log in with my usual nickname.
