Server having a hickups?

[Archived Post]

Got booted from the game after several Server Not Responding messages and now get stuck either on Retrieving Characters or the Flaming Ape loading screen.
:(

[Archived Post]

Yeah, can't connect at the moment myself either.

[Archived Post]

Same here, I can get past the ape by alt tabbing out and letting it load in background, but then its server not responding till I get disconnected.

[Archived Post]

Got in after many tries but got server not responding messages again. So its not me then. Great...kinda.
Forum is slooooowww too...

[Archived Post]

Yeah, forum is running really slow, maybe others are getting it and trying to find source of the problem?

[Archived Post]

Betting theres gonna be emergency maintanence soon.
I hope.

[Archived Post]

I'm having the same problems. It was fine this morning then it randomly disconnected me and since then the Website, patcher and loading screens are rediculously slow. If the loading bar gets to 90% loaded then it gives me the disconnected from the server message and just sits there.

[Archived Post]

me too i have the same problem

[Archived Post]

still not working

[Archived Post]

Almost certainly nothing at all to do with STO. The CO population logging on all at once must be causing pressure.

Additional - Slight troll, but something to jolly the mood of the thread.

Still not working.

[Archived Post]

Same here, now I cant even get past retrieving characters. Really need an official response here :(

[Archived Post]

North American player here...

It would be nice if cryptic could have some semblance of server stability for my monthly fee.

[Archived Post]

Just got in the game. Loading took a long time. Gonna see if this works now.

(EDIT) Nope..... Got disconnected from server.

[Archived Post]

Bumping cause this vastly more important than any other thread on the forums ;)

[Archived Post]

Bump for great justice. Would be totally stellar if I could play the game I'm paying to play...

[Archived Post]

No other threads can go above this so another bump.

[Archived Post]

Still waiting to load the map. Ten minutes of "server not responding" messages.
I should expect something: cryptic did "maintenance" today.

Maybe percussion maintenance... Tell them hitting the servers wont make them work any better.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuump

The worst is that there is another thread like this one in the "PC & Technical Issue" section of the forum and no dev post a reply.

[Archived Post]

Yea that would probably be this one http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=101933&page=3

Also note these threads are both new interations of this one http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=99778

Unfortunately it is just us, I started that thread 4 hours ago :(

[Archived Post]

:confused:

Same problems here. Can't get into the game and the CO website is a slog too. No problems surfing elsewhere or playing other online games (I like FE aswell, so sue me).

(Oh, playing from the EU too)

yep, though the second link you'll see me posting about this very same problem, at this date/time 02-18-2010, 02:26 PM

[Archived Post]

Dangit, I really wanted to play today...

Still can't get in. When I do, its just rubberband time till I lose connection.

[Archived Post]

Well we finally got a Dev post from stormshade in the toher thread :D

[Archived Post]

Hey folks,

We're looking into this now. I'll keep you all updated as I hear more information.

Thanks,

Stormshade

Update 1: I've spoken to Coderanger and some other folks, this appears to be a problem affecting certain European ISPs, all of our equipment is working fine.

We are investigating further, and will continue to update you all as we learn more.

Thank you for your patience,

Stormshade

Pass along then that I'm in Canada and having the exact same issue on a Canadian ISP (Cogeco cable). It's not restricted to Europe only.

We just got that info. Sorry about the confusion.

[Archived Post]

Dunno if it matters, but having the same problem. In Canada, ISP SaskTel.

[Archived Post]

Taking me forever to get to this forum and FINALLY i can post after 45 minutes of fighting it:

Im in the UK, with Virgin Media who insist my connection is fine 100%. Tests performed.

Every other website being absolutely rapid confirms this.

[Archived Post]

If Canada is affected as well, ignoring the middle east and Asia (I guess they dont make up much of your player base) then Americans are the only people not affected by this right?

[Archived Post]

England UK, Didn't mention earlier but I'm using Eclipse as my ISP, checked with them and no service problems, everything else is running fine except champs

[Archived Post]

I'm on Virgin in the UK and have no problems at all so I'm not sure it's purely an ISP issue given some other Brits on Virgin are having trouble.

[Archived Post]

I'm in the UK with AOL as my ISP and am having the same problems. About an hour ago the forums were very slow was well, but they seem to be better now. 3 attempts at logging in, the first got disconnected after a long wait retrieving charcaters. The second actually managed to get me in but it took 20 minutes with lots iof server not responding messages and then the game was unplayable due to rubberbanding. The third attempt just hung checking the version in the patcher.

I taking this as a sign to get an early night for once, and hope this gets sorted out by tomorrow

[Archived Post]

I'm wondering why this issue affects only Champions and not other mmorpg: if the problem is ISP-side we should experience the same issue with coh and other US-server-base-games, but that is not.

[Archived Post]

Same problem with me here, UK. But I am finding same with my ISPs.. i have Orange and Plusnet in different places. Both are working 100% and even fine with other online games...just not CO :(
