I cannot connekt either. Most irritating.

it says "Connected to Host" and there it is be stoppink.

Pitboss Rome · September 18, 2008, 16:15

Russia you have some diplomatic mail to respond to both in the story thread and in PMs.

Pinchak · September 18, 2008, 18:44

Cannot connect.

I hope we plan on turning the clock back for all these missed turns...

Pinchak · September 18, 2008, 19:14

That doesn't mean that I don't believe you, it most probably means that there's more going on at your side. You said you had these problems already saturday last week. That was before my connection problems started.

I'll also add that this is DEFIANTLY on your end Cyber. What is the chances that 3-5 players are all going to experience the same error at the same time, and it is on their end?

Pitboss Korea · September 18, 2008, 19:57

STILL not able to get in. And I haven't even seen MMC around so we can't switch over to him yet.

As Cyber has already stated, the game has frozen, and has been frozen for quite a while now. There are less missed turns than you might think.

Why is Cyber being 'DEFIANT'? He has already acknowledged the problems on his end, and was talking about someone's problems that started before everyone else's. One person had problems on their end, then Cyber's server started having problems. They may be related, or they may not, but we won't find out for a while.

MMC · September 18, 2008, 20:03

I can't host without a save. and Cyber can't give me a save until he gets home, at which point he might as well just restart the pitboss server. However, I can still take over if Cyber can't solve his ISP problems.

I think he meant DEFINITELY, not DEFIANTLY.

Yeah, you know you have spelling problems when the spell check gives you suggestions, and you STILL pick out the wrong one.

Robert Plomp · September 19, 2008, 06:28

Game's up again!
No turns or moves were lost.
Last few days the game has not proceed. More info later

classical_hero · September 19, 2008, 06:30

That is odd,

Toni · September 19, 2008, 06:42

Thank you

The game has been hanging since the khmer logged in. There was a pop-up. Since then the game appeared to be up, but was just staying idle on "9.45 minutes left to play"

When I came home I've saved the game, rebooted the machine and restarted the pitboss server.

I was able to download at 350 kB/sec again thus everything seems fine again.

Maybe I must restart the pitboss server every few days.

MMC · September 19, 2008, 08:02

It's not the download speed that affects PitBoss, but the upload speed.

Robert Plomp · September 19, 2008, 08:18

Well, both were crappy last week.
Both also seem to be ok again, if not, please let me know.

Pitboss Natives · September 19, 2008, 08:53

Just logged in twice and got right in both times without a problem. Thanks Cyber!

Pitboss Rome · September 19, 2008, 11:13

Great work CS

I was getting a bit nervous and perhaps a bit rude... since I need my diplo fix

Robert Plomp · September 19, 2008, 11:25

n/p, I get a bit nervous as well when I can't play my daily turn for a few days

Some people are addicted to alcohol or drugs. I'm addicted to civ, I think that's not that bad after all

And for my rebutall: see what MMC wrote.

Pitboss Rome · September 19, 2008, 11:29

We should have called this game Civholics anonymous

Pitboss Spain · September 19, 2008, 11:34

Well I would overdose if we ever considered this an addiction.

@CS. It is odd that the game just froze since even if there is a problem the game continues even if someone exits wrongly, but it is good that we are back in business.

Pitboss Rome · September 19, 2008, 11:52

BTW Spain now that we know we have made contact... can you in the story thread tell me if you can attend? If your boat is still sailing somewhere in Phinchakian waters the city of Meeting should be accessible to you in a relatively brief period. Ask the Portugese for instructions or a screenshot of where the city is if you don't quite know how to reach it.

Are you sure that:
- your virus scanner is off
- your firewalls are off (maybe there's more then 1!) (maybe also one in your modem/router)
- your router passes your civports to the correct computer?
- you're not running other software that connects to the internet

while trying to connect?

You are able to play turns now and then, correct?
Maybe compare the circumstances when you connect fine to when you fail to connect.

I'll double check everything at my side when I'm home tomorrow at about noon (European time) (CET)

I'm at school, so I don't have much control over all of that. Seems odd though that I had no trouble until your server move was completed. maybe it is coincidence. As for today, same as usual. timing out consistently. Will try a reboot of my machine to see if that works.

There was a pop-up that said something like: "Can't save the recovery save for Khmer" apparantly it didn't continue as long as that pop-up was there.
But when I closed it and saved the game, it crashed after all.

I suspect that there is a memory leak or something somewhere in the pitboss server. I'll keep an eye on it.

MMC · September 19, 2008, 18:22

I'm not addicted to Civ, but I am addicted to Dihydrogen Monoxide and Gox.

@Cyber: Which post are of mine are you refering to, and as a rebuttal to what?

Plus I don't think there's a memory leak in the everyday running portion of the Pitboss, but there might be one that only opens up when a certain (as yet unspecified) error appears. If you leave the error open too long you get problems.

Invitictus is the latin for Victory (it's also part of the motto of Kent County Council)

Pitboss Korea · September 20, 2008, 20:49

I'm actually pretty sure that Victor means "Winner or victor" in Latin and Victoria means "Victory." Although I don't know what the word Invitictus means, I threw it in a translator and it didn't come up with anything. But apparently Invictus means "unconquered," so I am thinking that the word Invitictus probably means something in a negative, in = un.

Mars Exulti is a good chant too, but that is praising Mars the God of war, now that you are Jewish this wouldn't really be appropriate.
