Barrysworld Tribes servers keep dissapearing

[old.Nicodemus]

I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this; from time to time all the Barrysworld Tribes servers stop responding to my in game pings, at the same time the UK master server also stops responding. I have to cancel the 'refresh all' and do a 'refresh vis' to stop it from querying the US master server. Normally I'd think "no problem, it must be a busy time on the internet." But when I run a traceroute or ping from a DOS prompt all the servers and hops ping under 40. Does anyone know why this happens?

There's also the matter of some of the BW servers dissapearing from the master server list from time to time(most of the time it's the BWTL Private servers). Anyone know why that happens?

aye

lo nico fellow admin

In particular BWTL 1 and BWTL 2 keep disappearing.

How jolly annoying - do I know why? of course I dont .

2 of the BWTL servers disapeared lsat night as we were doing a config change, they were still up just not on the master. There was a period a while back where the servers weren't appearing but they seem to have been ok in the last couple of weeks?

I just noticed, from a couple of all night gaming sessions that were cut short because of the BW servers dissapearing, that the BW servers and the UK master server stop responding at exactly 6:00am. Does that help at all?

lol, the servers reboot at 6am, they always have . They are back at about 6.30am.

 

[old.Nicodemus]

Ahh. I thought it would be something like that. I guess the UK master must reboot at the same time. Well, that's one problem solved.

I'd like to report another problem. A few nights last week I was playing on the BW CTF servers, and the bloody bullets in my chaingun kept disappearing!

Any advice welcome,

I got another problem - my score (although i don't consider it that important) never gets above 9 on the BW CTF servers! Wierd!

 

[old.mad12]

OK while we're on CTF problems, all the cF players keep dying really quickly when I'm near them.

Any advice welcome
