[2020] Server's Making Game Unplayable

Going to maximum warp - more power has been thrown at it.

Yay! Glad to hear it.

The game servers were running smoothly around the times of these posts.

One of the side effects of many countries having some kind of lockdown due to covid-19 is that there is a much heavier usage load online. Many Internet Service Providers have had to increase their services to cover for this and then the infrastructure itself can only handle so much (shout out to all the Aussies still on 50yo copper).

Due to this you may find your speeds are much slower than usual and you might get the occasional drop out during peak usage times. If it’s not on the game server we don’t have any control over it

Even if you can reach other services fine, it could be that the issue is somewhere in the connection between us and the route you take to our game servers will be a bit different from the one you’re taking to get to another service.

What Kafka said. We have greatly increased our server capacity, and our server programmer double checked our performance during the times of these posts. All good on our end.

We fixed up the issues on Friday but the servers are running green right now. Might not be the game servers right now @Koromac
