rF2 Megane Trophy @ Mid Ohio - Saturday May 19th 2012

[Larry Thomas]

Server still not up???

 

[Brian Clancy]

no nothing..... I am investigating with my supa 'staff' powa's

 

[Brian Clancy]

Damn dodgey supa staff powas :S

Still trying

 

[Marco Bijl]

Huh? Server should be up....

Just checked it on the server it self, and it says no issues there.

 

[Brian Clancy]

Mr Bijl is on the case

 

[Larry Thomas]

Mr Bijl is on the case

So I see

 

[Marco Bijl]

Should be up in 5 minutes again. Both servers that where running there are not showing. Must be a local issue I think.

 

[Björn Petterson]

Marco now you have to join since you are here,

 

[Marco Bijl]

Hahahah Promissed my wife I would not race tonight, sorry Björn.

Looks like there is an issue with the matchmaker service itself. New servers can't connect for some stupid reason, but the current ones, stay up. Real strange. Will try some more.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Hmm Cant get it to connect. Not via both servers. Will try again in a few minutes.

 

[Brian Clancy]

Deffo an issue with ISI's matchmaker sevice

 

[Marco Bijl]

I am sorry guys.. Doesnt matter what I do, all new servers do not connect. Whichever track I choose, which ever combi I made, it just does not connect.

So I fear we have to cancel this event . Really out of my hands this. Sorry.

 

[Brian Clancy]

not your fault mate..... Thanks for trying

 

[Björn Petterson]

np then there will be more practice for next weeks event

 

[Larry Thomas]

Thanks a lot for trying Marco.
Appreciate it.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Just tried again, and still no luck. Server will not announce to matchmaker. I think they have a real issue here....

 

[Björn Petterson]

Is this problem just at racedepartment or is it a general problem?

*Edit
Looked at isi that seems some ppl but not that many experience same problem, could it be some kind of ip issue?
Do you have the possibility to try to setup a server from a diffrent ip marco?

 

[Marco Bijl]

No, it's a general issue. ISI forum has multiple messages about it as well.

Also, I have 2 different servers at my disposal. 1 official RD server, located somewhere I do not exactly know
1 personal server, located at my house. Most games where hosted at my place lately, so both servers have proven themselves.

At this time, it does not matter which machine I choose to set the servers up. All the same. So I am sure it's not machine related, but service related.

 

[Björn Petterson]

Ah ok thats nice to know, Im just curious to know. Thanks for really trying Marco.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Your welcome Björn. Thats why I am here To really try

I really do not think that this will be fixed today, as ISI has weekend as well now. I suspect it's either has something to do with the new update thats coming, and the changes that they have made in the matchmaker for that, or that there is just a malfunction in the system and it needs a reset.

Either way, I fear we will have no new servers up this weekend. To bad, but its a risk we took when we decided to start hosting games in a BETA version
