Please post here when and if you have a problem connecting. Please list any messages you get.

I know it is not always the servers fault players can't connect so this thread is for informational use.

Thank You!:)

Starbuck ordered a new router but, when it was delivered, he discovered that it can't handle the workload. So he's back to square one for the time being. Today it was a case of "first in ... only one in" and even Starbuck couldn't log on after I entered his own server.

Ouch! Hope all works out as I miss the server. Looked like 3 servers were down this afternoon.

TBird... Ran a "ping-check" on our French ami's Oly Primus FR, your SP6, Ceti Alpha V, MP ProGames Aussies, and the Xanadu. All else appeared to be functional. The Aussie server did boot me back to the main game menu, with the MP-only admonition. This just means no mods - clean-slate on "that" profile, trying to hook up with "that" server.
I do this check quite often to look at over-all accessibility on the various server/platform offerings, and report as indicated.

Thanks Busch. The "MP only" server allows mods but as you say Clean (no SP) profile other than that. I have one just for that. Thanks for the test info.

StarPort 6 server is down due to computer doing an unscheduled restart.

hope to be back up within the hour.

StarPort6 server is now up again (and renamed). I tested it from a remote site and all seems good.

Please post if you have any problems. Thank you.

StarPort 6 Server went down for about an hour. It's back up again. Sorry for any inconvenience.

:)

Sad to say that upon my return from a short vacation the StarPort 6 server computer was Kaput! No signal from the computer to the screen and the hard drive does not seem to be functioning (not sounding right).

It's a VERY old computer and may not be worth fixing. "May be time for a cheap replacement"!

Well, that answers that question.

I have a lead on a "FREE" computer and if it works out the StarPort 6 Server will be back up next week.

From scratch or did you somehow manage to save the server thingamajig?

I have backups of the universe, test2 and clan map from April so all is not lost.

Slight delay in StarPort 6 server being on-line. It may be another week or two now. The good thing is that the remaining servers are being visited more.

Does this thread include losing connection after 20 - 40 minutes, every time I log into MP?

Post by **Marvin** » Fri Jun 21, 2013 5:36 pm

Probably ... especially if it also happens on Cronic's server (which is normally very reliable).

This sounds like a connection issue from yourself and the server. Does it happen on all servers or just one in particular?

I always consistenly loose connection on Ceti Alpha V Server about every 2 hours of consistent play. And I can just connect back in and play another 2 hrs!
I do not know if there is a player time set limit or something else is going on!.....

Galactica 1 is up for testing at the moment. But what ever anyone does it will be saved and passed over to the dedicated server PC once its ready. Not too long I hope. Seems there has been a lot of PC's going bang just recently.....!

Well, that's one theory.
