Server out

You can see him in servers list, but in Ping column is ???? and is not possible logon.

a lot of FL servers has ???? in ping, maybe a global server thing.

Edit by

Most servers are out atm - only UnderVerse.us 2.28 RP 24/7 and Paulus' Aussie Disco Portal are online

Edit by

Server is online

server offline again, ping = --

server down again , like last nigh after nomad hunt event , server dont reboot or dunno .....

cant explain that
its physically there and operating normal
(i even see some players on it)

Edit by

other servers clearly have the same problem since yesterday
it looks to me like something has started to block ports somehow

CF server is back online but it looks like 90% of all other servers are offline

It looks that this attack is really strong one ... except 2 FL servers (disco, FAW) are all down atm ... and also these "with ping and ppls" show only very low player numbers on-line.

Before 6 minutes i launch Crossfire and i saw that the server is offline, and i see it's not only right now in that day

this really starts to bother me

Hope it isn't DREP again. A little over a year ago they took several servers down. Also just last month EA Games was hacked to host a Phishing website which has been fixed and the hack attacks have stopped. Hope this isn't the same thing again.

Don't know what's the problem, but is no in crossfire mod because the other servers are off too. That is no permanent problem because i was online today but after some time server crashed, then again has well. I hope this is not some hacker attack against freelancer community.

Is it possible that something at M$ could have caused this?
EDIT: Everything except discovery is down and not working.

no MS has nothing to do with FL for ages

and actually... the server is not crashing
its up an running all the time
it just blocks connections to the players for some reason

im testing a few theories right now but only time will tell if they turn out to be true or not
server is currently online again and with some luck will stay there

Happy Easter!

(May be some "easter eggs" that activates after certain period, in the game code? )

I wonder if the server (completely disconnected from global network) can be tested in a virtual network client mode environment. (Although references to time changed). It requires a computer with real muscle, I suppose.

Just tried connecting to my Genesis server, can't get in. My remote access works, shows everything is fine, but if i try joining as a player, same as everyone else... Disturbing

Hello Gibon, it looks that this stupid attack is done world-wide and searching on google for "Ddos attack" in last 24 hours shows that someone found serious security hole(s) and decided to do "small" demonstration. I also doubt that FL servers are "main target" ... (it looks to me as collateral damage).
