Title: ANNOUNCEMENT: Server Down
Post by: jorrit on January 10, 2005, 09:06:47 am

At this moment we are starting an extensive debug session of the server (running it under valgrind for people who know that tool). That means that the server will most likely be down for several hours. Hopefully we\'ll find the problem that causes the server to go linkdead so often.

Greetings,

Status report: we fixed two very big crashing bugs in the server. So we hope that the server will be a lot more stable now. However currently we have a problem with most clients not getting a join button. We are investigating that now.

It works for me I coulg join the game but I died and I respawned in a big dark-red cave, already lying on the ground... All I managed to do (I coul move) was to make a 500 ft fall from a bridge, thus dying again, and respawning the same way. I think we got a problem ;-).

My third person view is messed up.  The only way I can describe it is First Person View through eyes in the back of my head.  Haven\'t heard of anyone else having this problem and restarting the game and my computer hasn\'t helped.

If you can\'t get out of the deathrealm/ \"hell\" as I like to call it, because I couldn\'t get out of the freakin place, hahah

An Advisor told me to type /spawn
 
Hope that helps anyone that get\'s stuck in there.

to fix the first person bug simply press shift and lmb and move the mouse towards your body to zoom out :-)

The Dev\'s are debugging,
that\'s why you can\'t connect.
We just have to wait it out.

Thank you for having fixed the server, since then I\'ve never linkdead anymore :)

I tried this morning for the first time to set up my character.  I got a \"The server is down or unreachable....\".  Something like that at least.

Sometimes we bring it down to do upgrades. But the server has not crashed since yesterday.

Cool, thanks!

What does it mean when it says \"Connecting to Server... Please wait...\" and never does anything after that?
