ISDG 2012 - Server Announcements, Connection Issues and Questions

[plako]

Please send me a Personal message immediately, if you need a desicion. I'm just cursively following the discussion threads.

I see that CFC has logged in after their conversion to AI so their autosave is not good anymore. If you want to preserve autosaves, please use different login name in a cases like this. Fortunately WPC logged in after the CFC so there we've even better save to load.

Bevare that accidentally turning to AI is not automatically meaning reload. I'll evaulate situation case by case. Especially, if there are potential battles involved reload is less likely to be approved. Also I'd like to see more detailed report what are the consequences of the problem. Naturally explanations should be done in private forum or using personal messages.

Admin decision: reload from WPC turn 680AD autosave.

Admin decision: reload from WPC turn 680AD autosave.

Done.

WPC and all the others that played after them need to replay their actions.

Also I've access to almost all team forums currently. WePlayCiv should approve my request to follow their ISDG thread. I've also created a user named plako to civfr and universciv forums. Could you please send me instructions how to get access to your ISDG forums.

In case of disputes it is pretty important to have access to all sides of the story and I think in some cases it is faster to get messages like replay request faster through in private forums.

 

[plako]

WPC I belive you had to replay turn!

Please pause, if the turn is in danger of rolling and they haven't repalyed.

 

[Inao]

I confirm that WPC doesn't have replay. Their turn isn't marked as ended in game, although civstat indicates it as ended.

Game crashes in the initialization phase. Seems zulu have the same problem.

Game crashes in the initialization phase. Seems zulu have the same problem.

There was no error registered that I could see anywhere, but when I saved the game and attempted to reload from the save I made, the game instantly crashed upon reload.

Looking at civstats I could see that there's been a lot of attempts to log in early this morning (my time), so I looked at the savegames and decided that the 5/25/13 3:54 am civplayers (GMT+02) looked like the best shot - and that worked.

In other words civplayers needs to replay their turn, and possibly the other teams that may have managed to take their turns after that.

My game crashed while attempting to connect a few minutes ago, and it does it again now.

Crap.

I am expecting visitors in one hour, so I have no time to sit down and look into it right now. If someone have the time to sit with me and test different savegames later tonight I would really appreciate that. 6-7 hours or so from now. Please get in touch with me on my gmail (my nick here at cfc @gmail.com) so we can use Gtalk while testing.

Thanks!

 

[Caledorn]

I did some testing now, and I could not log in to the game either. Going through the saves, the latest autosave that did allow me to log in was this (GMT+02 time):

5/25/13 3:02 am John Logged out
5/25/13 2:55 am Lizzy Changed name to John

So, that's the one I have reloaded the game from now.

If any team logs in and encounters the same problem again, please post here immediately. It would mean we need to go even farther back in the autosaves (which I have taken a backup of just to be certain).

The game has been paused by me - if you login during the next 6-12 hours, please repause the game to allow all teams to pick up that the game is back up

Good job, Cal

 

[Pluton]

Civforum.de is aware that the game is back up and could connect without problems.
The current save is okay for us.

Thank you for your efforts caledorn.

 

[Inao]

It's working for me (civfr). Thank you Caledorn.

 

[plako]

According to Caledron, timer has now been changed to 36h.

 

[kjnoren]

Could whoever is logged in for CFC since 11.42 GMT+1 please log out, so other teams can log in?

 

[Inao]

No way to connect to server.

 

[Pluton]

Civforum.de can also not login to the server.
timeout during "connection to host".
Server crash again ?

 

[Caledorn]

Thunderstorm knocked out the power.

Game is reloaded from latest RB autosave at 04.06.2013 20:08 CEST.

 

[kjnoren]

Civstats connection gone, and I can't connect to the game host. Thunderstorm again?
