I recently tried to log in to multiplayer, just as I did many times before without any problems, but today I encountered this:

Code: Select all

Categorised as: Network connection error (Code -1)
State: Log In
Response Type: Page Received
HTTP Status: 404

What is it? Is the slitherine MP server down?

I also tried to log in this morning and received error on my password (after 1.72 patch of course. It has been working fine and doesn't give me the option of getting a new password. I have ALSO lost a whole page of posts (at least 1 as of the time I went to bed last night) from the forum...any clues.

From the Slitherine news page:

[07 Mar 2012] MARS ATTACKS! ON THE SLITHERINE SITE

It's been a night of fighting at Slitherine's servers house, but we came out victorious. After a few hours of panic and troubles, which affected all of Slitherine's ring of sites, all databases are now restored and we are up an running again.

Unfortunately some of the data got lost, as the attack came just before the daily back ups started, so all is reverted to the previous day's back up. All multiplayer and forum posts after midnight of the 5th are unfortunately lost and will need to be replayed or re-posted.

As of now the PBEM system is still offline as we are synching back the over 15GB of data of all players games, so it will take another two or three hours before we can get it back live again.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused and we understand how frustrating it can be to lose your progress in the games, but we did our best to get everything back to normal as swiftly as possible. And thanks to anybody that worked late (very late) to help us in the fight!

Thanks for the update and thanks for all the work you guys are
doing to get the server up and running.
Cheers

Funny, I just get no password error and lost the one page of forum data. other than that I seem to be fine (I think..maybe...perhaps)

HI guys

we had the data restored quite quickly but for PBEM we had to synchronise the data with teh saved games With 14 GB of saved games it took until just now to resynch. PBEM is now back online though any turns played yesterday are unfortunately lost and you'll revert to the situation on the evening of March 5th.

Seems that there was another crash.

Have not been able to play multiplayer.

Could not even go onto site for a while.

Hope everything is OK

From the state of the forums, it looks like we might have another Groundhog Day...

Hello is there still a problem with the multiplayer server because i still cant log in at the moment and havent been able too for the whole day. I had the impression reading this thread it had been sorted out. Hope someone can reply soon and all the best of luck in getting it back online thanks for any help.

being the guy that runs the networks for my organization, I know the frustration - it's only magic when it isn't working... best of luck dealing with this attack...

Thanks i just wanted to know one way or the other. Certainly a pity as its been pretty reliable so far one takes it for granted these sort of things never happen. Well best of luck dealing with it and look forward to it back to normal.

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2012 8:24 pm**

The servers should be on by now.

Yeah there was another down period. I'm not relaly complaining, since other than the last 2 days the game and MP was stable ever since I bought it. I just hope this won't become a customary thing though.

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2012 11:49 pm**

Im finally connected now. Thanks for all the work and trouble. Hope for your sake these things dont happen too often.

What's the story as of Sunday morning?

- is it now all systems go as I have a game to play that is quite detailed

- and I don't want to have to do it all over again

Thanks in advance
