RE: Server Crashing

[.seVered.][]

The current "main" server (aka PUG server) is crashing at least every 30 minutes now... and some where asking about what happened to the other server (MLSG I think) and that it too was having the same problem today.

Probably getting packeted also? Who knows...

Having DDoSed before in a unrelated game, if thats whats happening -

- Someone's butt hurt they got banned.
- Somone else wants control of the most active Siege server
- Somones getting paid to keep the server offline. ^

Hope it gets figured out [UK] Servers have always been the best for me to play on.

nothing new.

Saw that Ahm3t had recently been banned from it Morning

If I had administrative ablities here - I'd take his IP - and his links - knowing that he'd been spreading infectious links which DDoSers use to spread their Botnet - and make his ISP & Local Law Enforcment in his area aware that he may be participating in DDoS attacks against your sever.

I'd like to play right now, and wouldn't mind seeing somone go to prison for 10 years for ruining our fun.

Crashed again, just keep adding to the firewall the list of ips, no matter how long it grows, it has to stop one day.

I don't think Ahmet is that smart to hack the server

You probably don't think I'm that smart, but I could be doing the same thing except have a greater effect; However, I don't and wont involve myself in such activities anymore. The fact that the server comes back up quickly and isn't down for a couple hours/days means whoever is doing this is new to it.

Nobody is actually hacking the server, It's just getting hit with more packets than it has the bandwith to stay online.

An intelligent person wouldn't be risking prison time to mess with a sever that hosts a dozen players, they'd have the potential to get paid thousands of dollers (illegally) by some business looking to beat their competition by taking them offline, or infecting people with their links and probably wouldn't go to prison for much longer than the idiot ruining our fun.

PUB will be back online soon and it is much closely monitored. There's a new machine en-route and data center says should be online soon. Sit tight all. You'll be served ;)

[Keith]

Nice, that's really good news Sam.

Do you use IpToCountry? I've been having issues on and off for a couple months now where servers crash when new players enter when the resolve servers don't respond... I just posted a thread about it: http://www.unrealkillers.com/showthread.php/3005-unrealkillers-IpToCountry-server-advice-help
