Got stuck in the diplo interface when I logged into the game after the turn rolled (in-game diplo note from another team), which I couldn't close, and then I lost the connection to Pitboss and can't reconnect.

This is because my Internet connection randomly decided to take a vacation. It may be a random reason, or it may be my ISP is doing some maintenance. If a reload is required let me know and I will reload

I'm currently unable to connect to the game. Anyone else having trouble? Civstats reports a connection to the game.

I have these occasional random outages that lasts anything from a minute to 30 minutes. So if this happens, just give it 15 minutes and retry. I'm going to ask my ISP if they have any idea what it might be caused by.

Currently unable to log in to the game (tried twice, last half an hour ago), and Civstats is disconnected since almost an hour ago.

Oh god. Thanks for reminding me. The fuse blew, and I forgot that I had to restart the games after the unexpected shutdown. I will reload from the latest autosave right away.

It may just be a Pitboss bug, but I suspect someone has not used "Exit to Main Menu" but just directly exitted to the desktop again, as my server was sending an unhealthy amount of data to the Dominican Republic (which I have to admit made me worry quite a bit until I discovered it was just the Pitboss). Could all teams please make sure their team players are aware that they should not exit directly to the desktop?
Thanks!
NB! I saved/reloaded the game just now because of this.

I will be taking down the server within the hour, and it will be left offline for the rest of the day. All games will be unavailable today, and depending on how much time I need to use on the upgrade they may also be unavailable for some time tomorrow.
If any teams needs to log in quickly to take screenshots or anything, you have about 30 minutes from this post this until I will take down the games and the server.

The server and games are back up for the time being, as the Windows Server 2012 installation refused to boot because of a BIOS incompatibility. I need to get some new hardware before attempting to upgrade again. May get some tomorrow, but for now I'm uncertain.
When I reloaded the game I realized that we have been running the game without APTMod active since my fuse blew the other day. The icon was hidden away (I am using Stardock Fences to manage my desktop icons), and I specifically remember that I did not start the mod client the last time I reloaded. It is running again now, and I hope this does not cause any issues (If it does, we will need to reload several days backwards in time).

The games will be down a few times during the day while I test some things to see if I can avoid purchasing new hardware to get the server upgrade done. If I find a way to circumvent the problem, I will post here as I will then be taking the games down for the rest of the day/evening.

Any progress to report, Caledorn? The game has been down for 12 or so hours now.

I'm going to work some more on the server later today, but before I do that I will put the Pitboss games over on a different computer temporarily so that you guys can connect to the game regardless of whether the server is up or not. I can then just transfer the games back to the server when I am done working with it.

Games down for up to an hour or two while I do some maintenance work and testing.
