SERVER NOT FUNCTIONING FOR H2H - 5/16/2021 10:23:34 AM

Status: offline 		In the name of saving players several hours of their lives, I think it's worth posting here that the server is not functioning, so if you're in a server game, save yourself the torture of playing your turns as the likelihood is they won't save.

For many of us, the first we learned of this was wasting hours on a turn, then posting in the tech forum.

I think this should be flagged here to warn other players and save them the same pain.

that would be a generally advantage for every game that uses pbem so that the player can see, whether the servers are working or not. That could save a lot of time. :-)

But in this instance it appears it falls to the community to warn each other about the technical collapse.

PBEM is looking more attractive all the time.....

Thank you Erik! Performance seems better today, but not perfect; it just gakked another save on me. It's still unusable. I'm holding all games until I get the all-clear from you guys

The problem is intermittent so the ability to log in and/or save a turn doesn't mean it is resolved, unfortunately.

Status: offline 		It was "mostly" working this morning, I did manage to complete a turn, though there were a couple hiccups. At this point it's playable, so hopefully will get to 100% once they move that server.

I still think it's good practice for everyone to stop and save every 15 minutes to so.....you don't want to 2 hours then lose it all.

I did that yesterday. Yes we don't lose the entire turn but it's still a pain to go back to the main menu and resume everything.

I notice the announcement on the main forum has been taken down. Does that mean the issue is solved? Can I attempt a turn with confidence?
