Re: all games everywhere are down
Controlled experiments strongly suggest that the Illwinter Spyware Server is partially borked: As a result, Dom2 connects, tries to get a meaningful response out of it, but nothing happens, so Dom2 hangs.

Yes...a very small game developer, taking a *very* small step to protect themselves, their livelihood, and their increasingly popular intellectual property from piracy, is "spyware". 
Give me - and Illwinter - a break.

Re: all games everywhere are down
ehh, I think calling it "spyware" is stupid.
however, if it interferes w/ the ability to play games, then that's a real issue.

Re: all games everywhere are down
not a major problem if the server doesnt go down again. maybe there will be a check added to the next patch to catch down-server

My thoughts exactly. Personally I was impressed that the issue was resolved in an hour's time at what must've been an inconvenient hour Illwinter-time.
That said, as Arch points out, it becomes an issue if the problem continues to repeat itself. However, IW's track record leads me to give them the benny of the doubt. Somehow I think they'll make sure it's not a recurring issue. |
