Steam dropped the ball again by the looks of it.

Yeah, it looks that way. I doubt all the Hosts chose this exact moment to shut their servers down. This sucks :(

The leadfarm server is back up. We'll have to wait till all the other Hosts have restarted their servers to see the rest.

confirm. I guess I could be super optimistic and say its because a patch is being fed to them first? Has it happened like that before?

Nope. Apparently Steam lost connection to about 2 million users for a brief period of time. Most MP games don't have a problem with that. However, with CLoD it requires the server host to manually restart the game on their hosting rig.

mmmmmm? Wonder if we can somehow set up a siren/klaxon in SYN_Blackrats house/bedroom to let him know when this happens?

Haha...yes I do want the SYN server back, but I'm not sure he would approve!

I posted the problem in their forum. Maybe a PM to speed things up? I do like my gratification instantly these day. Not because I'm impatient, but because I'M OLD :)

Sorted, yep steam had logged the server off again, thats two days on the trot. Lucky I happen to be up extra early this morning, unfortunately not a lot can be done ATM to let us know earlier due to time zones.

I think Mrs. Blackrat might have something to say about a klaxon ;) and you don't wanna upset her I can tell ya :rolleyes:

I dream of a day when software exists to restart servers automatically... and to allow us to rotate missions preiodically without human input....


A man can dream can't he?

This program can close unwanted Steam warnings automatically (and probably restart everything). But you have to write a script for it. http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/
There is some other windows automation and macro software but not as flexible as this one.

A mission can be restarted within Launcher with srcu file or via scripted telnet.

We shall have to have a look at some of these things I think, see what we can do about this. I might be back with more questions...

Thanks Ataros

All down again :(

Steam client update came through, looks like that stopped the server maybe, up and running again.

Steam has asked to install an update of itself, maybe thats why It's actually wrong

Damn, I had to re-read this sentence three times to really understand what the update was for....
wishful thinking... :D
