Indeed.

Great news, thank you

Really good to hear that you're making progress. Thanks for the update.

Sounds like everything is working fine, just running really slow. So once they get that part fixed, it should be back up. Now, if we could just get an update on the situation

Even Diablo 2 is still online and that's been out since 2001 If it REALLY came down to it, people would be upset, but they could wipe the world and start with a fresh one. I'm sure they have backups of backups and the source code

Bah, knew i forgot something. Good to hear it was a success. Eh, they can always launch another rocket, but there's only one Fallen Earth.

sitting here playing clicker games and working on a few things. Just waiting for an update. It's been over 10 hours since the last one.

Now that I think about it, Couldn't you just look at one of the other games that are working properly like APB and see how the "timeouts between servers" are setup. Then look at how it's setup for Fallen Earth and make them both the same.

That's what I thought it would be for. I've DC'd in other games and at the login, it would say "you're already logged in" etc, then I would need to wait 15 seconds or so before it cleared the old one. Not sure about waypoints, but I re-downloaded the game about a week ago after not playing since 2009-2013 or something and my friend list, clan list is still intact. My hotbar was empty

After being in the wasteland for so long, sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do. Dog Food tastes ok, but scorpion claw tastes a bit like overcooked lobster, so it's not a total loss. Then again, anything tastes better than Bug farm suprise... Edit - I never even saw that (Alec masters), or the (welcome to the apocalypse) login screens, until the maintenance right before this "extended downtime", it always went straight to my character screen. All I ever had to do was, FEUpdater > username/password > next > launch > choose my character > enter game

Didn't I tell you to stop wasting bullets and just use the Cemented Pole instead? When the scorpions get close, swing around and hit them from the side. As for the mutants, toss them a can of Dog Food, they'll leave you alone for a little while.

I have to upload a picture instead, because it blocked me from posting my answers. Apparently the forum doesn't let you type in code format lol Anyways. it's hard to figure out an answer since I don't know what you're working with. Are you getting "stale false" with your timeouts? You may need to rebuild your indexes. You might have a firewall blocking a port. You might be getting a lot of dropped packets which is causing a memory leak. Check if something like this helps. Delete this post if you feel it's necessary, I'm just trying to help, so that I can get back to playing the game lol.

HMMMmmmmmmmmmm....... Gimme a few minutes, that sounds really familiar.

Taking a game from 2009 and "physically" moving it to 2019 with only a 12 hour maintenance. Almost 66 hours later, seems more of a realistic timeline, I figured it would be closer to 3 days. I just mess with you guys like I do to folks on other forums. Please take your time and get everything working properly. So anyways back to what I was saying. It's getting close to 8 hours now, I hope everyone had a good night sleep and could we finish this up finally lol? It's back to showing Unable to connect, Please check your internet connection.

So, any update on that ticket or those final 2 tasks you need to finish up yet? It's almost been another 4 hours.

Hmm, everytime I hit F5 or refresh the page, it auto scrolls down about 3 lines. But it only does it if I'm focused on my post.

After everything is back up and running, are we still going to have the "daily maintenance" in about 5 hours lol?

*Picks up Cemented Pole*

Thank you very much for the update. Routing issues have always been a pain. Reminds me of the time I accidentally locked myself out, while setting up VPN on about a dozen devices and had to get a hold of the ISP to unblock me from their side. That was fun lol...

Truthfully, I'm not upset because of this downtime even though my membership is slowly ticking down, but things like this happen especially with older technology. I just want to know what the (real issue) is? Hardware, software? Hyper-V? Problems seating the Ram cards or expansion slots? Are you able to get the test server running? Actually, just about every operating system in existence can still be found online somewhere, even Acorn lol. Like I was saying at the top of page 3, I just got rid of my Win Xp about 6 months ago. I even still have the floppy's for my old win 95, 98, old Power Mac stuff, Win 7 ultimate etc.. By the off chance, if you needed an old operating system, which one? Eycalyptus Ubuntu 9.04?, Debian?, Windows server 2008 R2? I might be able to find a copy around here somewhere or online, then toss it up on Github. I've been messing around on computers since 92, went to college for computer programming in the early 2000s, couldnt count how many computers I've tore apart for scrap and/or fixed over the years and I've been hobby "bug testing" for the last 20 years or so, even made a couple small games of my own.

What actually happened anyways? Don't worry about the "technical jargon", just be like.. Uhh well, Mike hit a pothole in the road and the back door on the van flung open. The server fell out and rolled down the street. We thought it looked ok, so we plugged it in and blew the main board which crumbled to dust from being so old. We had to overnight another one from Japan. Then the IT guy dropped his toolbox on his foot, so we had to take him to the ER, but he's ok, just broke 2 toes. Said heck with it and took a nap, then got some coffee and donuts a couple hours ago for the long night ahead. (Technical issues) like that happen you know.

They're still doing server maintenance and it's taking longer than they thought it would. Here's the link to the thread.

I know exactly how that goes lol, I finally gave in and upgraded from Win Xp about 6 months ago because something like this happened. Which operating system?
