Re: PBW status
 

Ok, it's back up now. I'm going to have to take it back down later today to finish up some things, but you shouldn't have any problems using it in the mean time.

Re: PBW status
 

Taking it back down.

Re: PBW status
 

You have it back up now, but turn emails don't seem to be working.

Re: PBW status
 

The email problem is unrelated to the work I did this morning. Our email provider is on the fritz again. I've contacted the admin about it. Until it's working again I have turned off automatic turn processing.

Re: PBW status
 

Email is fixed. Everything is back up and running now. I've turned automatic turns back on.

We've added support for version 1.94 to PBW. I've setup all the 1.91 mods as 1.94 mods. If you have a game you want switched over and you are confident the mod is compatible, have your game ower post a message in the PBW admin forum.

My original plan was to just change everything from 1.91 to 1.94 since it was two-way compatible in all my tests. However, when I tried that this morning we had some mod games that were causign errors on the server. I'm not sure if this is a mod compatibility issue, or just a savegame issue. We'll deal with them one at a time though as the games get converted.

Attempting to undo a turn in one of my games resulted in this error message:

Re: PBW status
 

When the error occurs, are you using Firefox/Mozilla? If so, try with Internet Explorer. I think that function will not work without IE for some reason.

Re: PBW status
 

Yes, it was. Unfortunately I didn't think to try that before leaving for work. Oh well, I just wanted to add a message in case a certain other player misses the shortly upcoming deadline.

Re: PBW status
 

Many of these errors can be avoided or gotten around by using the text UI instead of the graphic UI. The graphic UI prefers IE, but the text UI is pretty much browser independent.

Re: PBW status
 

Not really a big issue, but I think there might be a problem with PBW's email. I uploaded a turn, and did my next turn a few minutes later when the server was done processing... and I recieved the notice that the turn was ready about an hour later (after I had already downloaded and uploaded that turn) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Probably just an isolated incident, but there might be something the SMTP daemon is getting stuck on, so worth looking into.

Re: PBW status
 

Is something wrong with the Adamant 15.04 mod on the server? I host two games with this mod, but both are failing on every turn. They are "The Galactic Invasion 2" and "Adamant Brutality Renewal". I had "The Galactic Invasion 2" updated to 1.94 after the first time it failed thinking it was something to do with the anti-seeker seekers that are in the mod, but it's still failing and "Adamant Brutality Renewal" is as well, though it is not 1.94. I can process them both just fine with 1.94 on my machine.

Re: PBW status
 

Yes, we've come across a problem with 1.94 on the PBW server related to the new music. It's a driver problems or something. There isn't really any reason for music on the PBW server anyway so I've been setting the 1.94 mods to "Allow CD Music :False", but I must have missed this one. Should work now. I see there are still players yet to upload in your game, so I don't know if I should force the turn. If you are the game owner you can, or have your game owner do it.

Thanks

Re: PBW status
 

PBW is not responding... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Lost our ISP connection for a bit. We are back up now. Can you get to the PBW server?

Re: PBW status
 

Yep, thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Is something wrong with PBW? Half of my games are "waiting for processing", which seems kind of suspicious... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: PBW status
 

You should have got a news email about the Five Houses game. It turns out IamE3 was in two other of your games and withdrew from both of them as well. The game owner in those games did the same thing I did and set the turn to no automatic turns.

In one of your games the last player (not IamE3 in this case) to upload withdrew which automatically causes a game to go into "Waiting for processing" status until the game owner either kicks the turn or a new player is found.

And in one of your games the turn is failing to process for some reason which the game owner hasn't figured out yet.

Nothing wrong with PBW. Most of the problem is due to one player leaving which you happened to be in several games with.

Re: PBW status
 

Oh, OK - thanks for checking for me! I can't remember how to access my personal email over the web from work so I haven't received those emails. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Is there something wrong with PBW? When I try to access my game pages, nothing is happening. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Edit - THe links do not seem to be working with FireFox, but work fine in IE. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

Any suggestions?

Re: PBW status
 

Um, use IE? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Sorry I don't have a better answer. A lot of the graphical UI functionality doesn't seem to work when using other browsers. I've not heard of anyone with the exact problem you are describing though.

Re: PBW status
 

Its a first for me as well. Worked fine a couple of days ago, but after the FF crash I had, it doesn't seem to be working since yestarday. Odd.

Re: PBW status
 

The other alternative is to switch to the text UI; it's not nearly as fussy as the graphical UI.

Re: PBW status
 

Not sure if the problem is on my end but i havent been able to connect to the real time client this afternoon.
Keep getting cant connect to the server any suggestions

Re: PBW status
 

Nope, problem wasn't you. That process had stopped running on the server. Thanks for letting me know. It should be ok now.

Re: PBW status
 

Thanks its up and going again

Re: PBW status
 

Tis down for me, IE, haven't tried the fieryfox as I did something silly to it that I haven't been able to track down.. Alas

Re: PBW status
 

Seems to be working ok from here. Try clearing your cache Rather?

Re: PBW status
 

I just seem to be getting connection timeouts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
Is the server down atm?

Re: PBW status
 

Hmm Well, I cleared out most everything I knew of and well, still doesn;t work so lets assume my brain fell out and I forgot how to clear the cache or something? Definitely user error methinks.. /nod

Re: PBW status
 

Still down...

Re: PBW status
 

The server's not down guys and we have a good coonnection to the internet. I don't know why a couple of you seem to be having problems. Are you getting some kind of errors or just a 404 page?

Re: PBW status
 

404 page but tis working now, dunno!

Rathar

Re: PBW status
 

It was just a standard connection timeout, with any attempt to connect to the PBW server (firefox, IE, even PING! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ). Seems to have sorted itself out almost an hour after I posted.

Re: PBW status
 

Seems to be off-line at the moment...

Re: PBW status
 

PBW down?

Can someone confirm for me wether it is or not?

I have multiple games turns due and have to leave for work soon, and I definately don't want the AI handling my turns right now(nothing is worse than missing a turn and discovering the ai declared war on 5 seprate people)!

Re: PBW status
 

Is anybody else having trouble getting on to the site now?

Re: PBW status
 

Yeah, me, too.

Re: PBW status
 

I can't reach it at the moment to do anything. Which means it's probably a connection issue and may come back up on it's own. If not I'll be home in a couple hours and may be able to do something then.

Re: PBW status
 

Thanks Geo, just checking, no rush. Thanks for the update

Re: PBW status
 

You all should be able to connect to the server now. Please let me know if that's not the case.

Re: PBW status
 

It works now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Yep, same here.

Thanks, as always, Geo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: PBW status
 

I'm guessing the server has decided to be ornerous again.

Re: PBW status
 

And yet, now, it's happy again.

Re: PBW status
 

Don't anthropomorphize the PBW server. It hates it when people do that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re:
 

PBW Server has gone down. I should have expected this to happen ... just a few minutes ago, when I tried to download my game turns, the zip files had bad headers.

Re: PBW status
 

Is anyone having trouble accessing the PBW server? I keep getting an internal error message when I try to log on?

Any help would be appreciated

Re: PBW status
 

Never mind question answered

Re: PBW status
 

Should be ok now.
