Multiplayer (ICO) is down again.  This has to be the 5th or 6th time in just 3 days.  We need to completely replace the hamsters powering the server farm.

That map was loaded with neutrals.  Being the only Vasari pretty much garunteed our victory.

Yeah, you should have seen my reaction in ally chat when the game started and I realized none of us were Vasari..I wasn't paying attention I was whispering someone when we launched.  If I had realized, I would have been Vasari.

I never noticed it before since I don't watch replays much, but in the game where we just played, I am watching through your eyes and it looks like I never did a thing.  So yeah, the replays are totally hosed up.

 

EDIT:  Actually it looks like NO ONE is doing anything.  The replays are completed stupid now.

2nd EDIT:  The retarded replay can be seen here: http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/8/7/2039910/AutoRecord-11221149.record

I am watching the replay right now.  Your reaction was classic.

Hello,

I also wanted to play online tonight, but I can't login to Ironclad Online. Are there any maintainance works going on? Any Idea when ICO is working again?

Thank you very much.

PS: Thanks for creating Soase, it's a great game

RE: ICO Crashes

I'm looking into it, there is definately something crashing. If you don't want to be affected by ICO crashing (or me taking it down to inspect), before hosting, change your hosting options to turn off Alloy temporarily.

Don't know yet but turning Alloy off means your game won't be affected if I take ICO down or it crashes. I'll let everyone know what the cause is as soon as we track it down.

Alloy netcoding works like a champ, or none of us would be able to play a game.  This also never happened in beta.  They are having some kind of exotic problem, which is why it is intermittent.  Better to just let them find and fix it than to speculate.  They obviously want it to work too.  And I reiterate, it didn't happen in beta.
