Title: Server is "offline or unreachable" but I see my ping?
Post by: Nawa on July 14, 2014, 04:51:52 pm

I'm trying to login to have some good ol' rp fun! I see my ping next to the server so I think to myself "Goodie! I get to play!" But upon trying to log in I'm told that the server is not running or is unreachable...

I did need to update seemingly as after running as admin and clicking repair the launcher downloaded some files but it still hasn't helped. So is the server down and my launcher just teasing me or what?

P.s. Also is there a way to tell whether the server is up or not?

That screen would be the most reliable way.  Seems today the server is lagging heavily for some reason.  To the point where it's reporting as not reachable.  So I don't think it's you.

It may also happen that developers have to test new material and therefore exclude players from logging in on purpose for some duration. I am not sure if that should display a specific status message, though (e.g. "Wait" or similar, instead of the ping durations).
