Is the lobby down?

[David McCradic]

tons of servers used to show up in the multiplayer lobby, but not anymore. am i doing something wrong?

 

[J-F Chardon]

www.simbin.se is also down.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hmmm, any clue what is wrong ?

 

[Daniel Hansson]

servers are up for me now and I can join a game

I don't have any at this moment. I wouldn't be of any help telling you things that you already know such as "it looks unstable".

I have reported the incidents. That's the best I can do. The cause should soon be identified and the problem fixed.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

And we are offline again , displayed message in the lobby is now: "General Failure"

 

[Dave Stephenson]

Yeh I think so, Yuri told me not long ago he still couldnt get on.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

How hard can it be to run a lobby server?

10 run lobby.exe
20 in case of General Failure, go to 10

Something like that ?

 

[Ryan Callan]

SimBin = phaaaael.

Even the notorious rFactor matchmaker has never been down anywhere near this long.

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

For me a steam update is available. I wait the end of the download (it's long....)

 

[Ivo Simons]

I had it also but didnt changed anything for me.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Maybe it changed something for the lobby server? Maybe it needs to be manually restarted. Now lets pray its not an official holiday in Sweden like here in the Netherlands, otherwise its bye bye racing for today

Major setback in sinbim games, now i have to entertain myself in rFactor!
- Wouldn't it have been better, if they actually had an actual update ready when they "updated" the lobbies monday?!

Arcoording to their post they are switchin out the hardware, so maybe not so simple, but I think 8hrs in simbin land = 8 days in the real world.

Quote from SB facebook:



Oh well it's now Tuesday and the RACE 07 lobby is down.

And now Thursday

 

[Ries Notenboom]

Bollox this...I raced every day since Monday but since off today...General Failure as well !
Sim'inthe'bin buggered it again

Actually it is:

10 run lobby.exe
20 in case of General Failure, go hide for 4 - 10 days

Yup I just had a look as well, I was hoping to get in a bit of online racing but nope ... same as you Ries, General Failure ... oh well try again later I guess.

[Fernando Rees]

Same here.

 

[John Westerlund]

It was off last evening also but started working around half past nine (and was still working around 1am)

 

[Stuart Gillard]

I'd imagine even once the server comes back up it'll take a little time for the games to start appearing ... bit by bit I guess.
