Is anyone else getting a Failed To Connect error?

It checks and says the server is online, but I get a failed to connect.

Is this because the game is full, the server is down, or something else?

Getting the same thing...

Same here. Guess server is down.

Ya that's weird cause it says online, I wonder how often they check the status lol, I was ready to blast some spiders or bots or something

At least I know that its not my computer messing about again.

I hope its fixed for Tuesday 8th October, that my Birthday lol.

Could be a new server build and an update? That would be great, armor, skills, new weapons, mobs, teleporter, Unity Pro engine?

Damn, i missed you birthday, but at least the game was back up by then.

Wish you many good years to come and hope you share a lot of those with us in Project Ion.

Getting a lot of disconnections tonight.

It probably is due to the storm that is around the developers house/business.

I read the post earlier about it, just wanted to point out that they disco's happened about 1 hour earlier from this post.

I got disconnected about an hour ago and been getting the failed to connect message since.

Failed to connect always means they need to reset manually,
to know when its been reset its best to track IRC channel untill Jelle or JSL say its back online.

Planned downtime will always be announced in game. When you get a 'failed to connect' message while the server status is Online, it probably means something is wrong. You can also a get the message 'too many players', which should speak for itself

Server online,, failed to connect..   :shock:

Hope they try out the new server soon, think they needed to test something with Linux and if that not worked out Eddie would look for a windows server license 2003 or 2008.
(if anyone has a legal version that he can share you could contact Jelle on IRC)

Would be a huge improvement as for most times the current server fails it is because the current server freezes because of overheating as it is just a laptop

Still amazing 26/40 people can run trough it so far in a 64km2 world
They plan the put the new server also on a other location, would allow around 100 people at least online at one single time.

When Jelle goes to bed, the server goes offline.

Could he be hitting the wrong switch when he goes to bed? Or unwittingly setting the server to sleep mode and it doesn't work..

It's been happening every day this week.

It's not his internet connection, because he shows as away in the games chatroom.

Server was turned on again this morning, after a couple of hours the same happens again.

Think when they turn on the new server it would save a lot of crashes already.

Would be cool if Jelle could reply with their findings and possible solutions.
