All servers down

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?

And its in Chelsea! Ordering now, will let them know he can pick it up that way we save on postage!

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

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?
