    Well I would hope you calm down, surely? Because any other action would seem a little extreme.

    Right now I am not sure if it was or wasn't our server. It seems like if something went down, it didn't go down completely, which makes it very strange to blame on the matchmaker. In any case, I have forwarded the thread to the 'server guy'. :) If it didn't go down completely, or it wasn't an issue with the matchmaker, he might not have even known.

    Here is the duplicate thread on it, if he needs more info than was posted in this one:

    The problem was brought up last month.

    It does no good to tell people to calm down.......business practice 101.
    That is what got me started a moderator said the same thing.

    How to Calm a Angry Person. :)

    1. Don't tell them to calm down.
    2. Let them Vent
    3. Be sympathetic


    ;)


    BTW This morning .........

    You get that with rFactor, as well as rFactor2? Or are you talking about rF2, and not saying the 2?

    I was aware it went down the other day. It is sometimes slow when I visit, but I haven't been visiting as often lately. What % of the time when you load a page does it stall/fail?

    I'm a little unhappy with the host (we don't host this on our own server), and I asked them for an upgrade (which we'd obviously be paying more for, they do nothing for free lol).

    For me a sorry to bail out ass well. Had to go to my parents last night.

    Issue is still present. In fact, the last server that was up is down now as well. Nothing is able to start anymore at this moment (just tried it again.).

    It's a different thing than that what has been reported already. The big difference is that in the previous issue (threads), the servers where able to be set up, connect to matchmaker, updating, and suddenly dropped off. Restart the server, and all is fine again.

    Now, the servers do not connect at all anymore. So restarting does not help. This means we have no more workaround, and therefore, all out servers are out.
    Had to cancel 2 events this weekend, because I could not get the servers up. No biggie here, as we know that issues can happen in the BETA phase, but it would be nice if it can be fixed so we can start driving again :)

    I hope this info helps again Tim. If you need additional info, you know where to find me ;)

    @Lucky,
    No, not possible as the reason for this issue. Simple explanation, the Dedicated server runs WITHOUT login in. So, it does have no options to KNOW if the period has passed or not. Besides that, you purchased a year subscription as well, so regardless if the free period has ended or not, the year subscribstion is still valid.

    @DurgeDriven,
    If you would have paid close attention, you would have known that servers which are running, can drop out of matchmaker service. Read the topic Tim linked to. Assuming that the admins all have tried to restart servers, while they where still operational, is a wrong assumption, and not the reason for the short list ;)

    The combination of both problems ((1)Servers dropping of matchmaker, and now (2)not being able to restart them when it occurs), has made the list go down to 1/2 a page. Before the admins kept an eye out for their servers, and restarted them when they dropped off. Now, we can't do that anymore, so naturaly, the list becomes shorter the longer this issue exists.

    18 months including 6 free
    If I'm not mistaken

    :) Just the programming is not an exact science :)
    So this error can be or thought of this side.

    But I also hope deceived me, but Tim said in a post as they were testing the payment system so ...

    A control should quickly confirm that this is not it.

    I hope today we will have all the servers.
    Last time our server to go perfect, it was a week that the server will not disconnect.
    Maybe ISI, is preparing something for the new Build ;).
    I think we're in beta, and these problems can occur:).


    Babs:)
