I cant get on AH today monday 10/17/05 but there is 177 or so people in the main arena at 3:30 am i the only ones having problems?
I know there moveing the servers or something.
-
Same here at 10:45 PM EST.
Getting pings to the Ma and seeing 450 people in it
5 people in TA and 6 people in DA
But cant get into any of them.
although the DA started to load then crapped out
Can we get any kind of an ETA as to when the arenas will be available to which areas and when?
-
Dred, try again.
I just saw this post, tried it, got right in. Arena has a bunch of peeps in there.
-
No go for me these past two days. Probably tried times.:cry
-
Check News.
Savvis problem.
AGAIN.
-
Aware of the Savvis problem, but when I try tracing the route it goes out to 25 hops and dies.
When I go to the game it pings ok and when i try to log on, i get returned to sen d the password page again.
:cry
-
I saw the message about disabling firewall in Zone Alarm. I was having trouble getting on, but the only firewall I had was the Windows one. I disabled it, and was able to sign on the second time.
Is this supposed to apply to the Windows firewall, or just the Zone Alarm one?
-
10-17-05, 11:05 PM PDT. Ping is fine, next to zero variance, no lost packets, as soon as I login get the Lost UDP , switching to TCP, then Host Connection Lost.
Not a Happy Camper here.
:mad:
-
SKJohn make sure you allow AH to bypass the Windows firewall. Just open it up for it.
Should apply for all firewalls, software aswell as hardware.
You can chose to just open up the correct ports, I cna't remember which ones though, 4000-4900?
-
Just Visual routed it.
"IP packets lost beyond hop 10, IP SAVVIS SAVVIS"
208.172.1.202 and up to 70% packet loss. I bet that since HT is moving servers Savvis isn't going to help out.
-
Yes just another savis burp... Skuzzy said that they would have the MA server tranfered to the new isp in around 2 days I think. feel free to correct me Skuzzy. :)
-
For all you people that are actually po'd about this current situation, get over it and look at the big picture.
If there was anything skuzzy could do he would do it, HTC has some of the best customer service i have come accross, they work with you they help resolve problems. this is something beyond their control.
the internet is layered , each person is relying on someone elses service in order to provide their own, of course its a little annoying but, life isnt fair.
So deal with the downtime, and stop cluttering the damm BB with "new" posts regarding the same thing, you are beating a dead horse now, and it is getting more people po'd than the downtime itself.
to skuzzy and the rest of the HTC crew, i am thankfull for the time and effort you give every day , this is the best ww2 flight sim on the market.

Don't think anyone in this thread blames HTC Haze, the only one who seems to be pissed off is you. Chill. Let people discuss what they wanna discuss.
-
Because you are a well respected person in this community i will keep my post respectful
1. i am not mad at anyone, i like to come on here to see whats going on in the AH world not read 1,500 posts about downtime when we already know whats going on , as you can see there are many new threads saying the same thing, the least these people could do is post under one, so as not to clutter the whole bb. that was my point. and yes people are complaining and mad read em you see not all but some .
2. Socom3 came out so i havent missed anything , when ah is up and running again i will play but to be honest i could care less, please dont make me out to be some arogant salamander trying to cause a problem because i am not. i understand the way 3rd parties can make problems for your business , i work for a major pharmacy in the US and we have to deal with moron ins. companies all the time , i was just tryin to make a point , that HTC is a good co. they do their best , but as with any other co. you have to rely on the service of another co. to keep you going . im not a trouble maker or mad at anything, i just hate having to scroll 3 pages to see anything even romotely not having to do with the downtime.

Rgr I agree, I missunderstood your post.
Yup HTC is has always had great customer service. Savvis is a real problem though. I belive HTC are moving their servers though, hopefully Savvis will be a thing of the past.

-
yeah i believe thats the whole problem, they figure whats the point HTC is ending their service in a week so im sure they arent at the top of the list for fixes.

I can certainly understand and appreciate the frustration people are having. See this thread (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=162393) for a discussion on what is going on.
Also, I would like to know, is everyone getting the arena list just fine and just failing to get a connect to an arena (i.e. your login/password screen is no problem)?
-
Yes, I got to the arena list (just checked - from Tampere, Finland), it was after I selected MA from the list that I got thrown back to the login prompt.
-
Getting the list just fine. Succeeded in getting in to the arena aswell but it took long.
Wasn't able to to get in a couple of days ago but did get the list.
-
Hello Skuzzy,
I had a few burbs getting into the arena - Retried 3 times. Once there, my connection immediately switches to TCP (on multiple logins) but the game is still playable. My ping is steady at 140.

What I'm seeing Oct 18, 10:20 EDT -
When I get to the arena entry screen, MA shows 117 with pings of 107-125
When I prompt the MA button I'm kicked back to password send. A resend of password results in Host Connection Lost.
So much for an hour of goofing off this morning
:D

Skuzzy,
Last night when I posted it took longer than usual time for the clipboard with the arenas to come up on screen. When it did appear, all the Ping details were fine. When I logged into the MA I would get there and maybe hear 1 sec of vox, but no radio bar text updates, no radar bars. Within a few seconds came the switch to TCP, then a few seconds later the host connection lost and disconnect back to my desktop.
-
Skuzzy,
This is what happens almost every time: I get into the arena and the first message I get is the "Lost UDP Switching to TCP" or whatever. Not long after that I lose the host connection.
Sometimes I can stay on for a bit, but I always lose UDP right away.

I get to the arena menu ok, click on the MA and it either takes 10 secs or so before the loading texture bar starts or goes to Host Connection lost. Longest amount of tries to enter MA was 4 times last night. After entering I checked net status and was mostly a flat line at the reference.
Not sure if it means anything but when I have Zone Alarm enabled I get the Lost UDP message after entering the arena. When I disable Zone Alarm I don't get Lost UDP message.
-
The reason I asked, is we have already made the cut-over to AT&T in our Grapevine office. And if you are getting to the arena list fine, this verifies the AT&T side is doing fine.
We have had a slight annoyance which will prevent us from getting the MA server up today at the AT&T location.

I'm getting to the arena list and when I click on the MA it launches...I am in
the tower...I can hear people on vox...then after about 20 sec of this I get
the switch to TCP message...still hear people on vox....then about 20 sec later AH quits and I am at my desktop.
It's weird that I hear squadies on vox but no text comes up (except for the
switch to TCP message) and the roster is blank.

Dred, try again.
I just saw this post, tried it, got right in. Arena has a bunch of peeps in there.
Managed to get in two more tries and about ten min later.
First time got into the arena and was promply discoed.
Second time got right in.
When I posted I was figuring that it might be a few days before everything was set up for all areas of the country
-
Skuzzy. not a matter of frustration on my part as much as just letting you all know whats going on on my end.
I've experianced enough changes over the years from websites I visit to games like AW and now AH to know that things rarely go as smoothly as planned or hoped for. So I honestly didnt expect that there wouldnt be any glitches.
I also figured it would take a bit of time beforre everyone from all areas woud be able to get full access. which was why I was asking if there was some sort of time table as to what would be up and when
Just doing what I can to let you know what Im seeing on my end in hopes that perhaps by chance some tidbit I see may provide a clue to help the situation.

I got in finaly about 7pm 4 hrs of trying :rolleyes: :furious :rolleyes: :furious :rolleyes: :furious frs not to good. Next day all was good

Savvis should still be bound by an SLA (service level agreement) and a contract regardless of the renewal status of the contract.
It's time for a CEO to CEO call ;)

Yeah, I can get connected to the Arena List. But It goes no where and CTD's on anything but the Dueling Arena.
For the dueling arena, I can stay on for roughly 20 seconds before I lose all connection.
-
Yep, I can't play in MA either.
When I log into MA I get the message "Not Receiveing updates, switched to TCP". A second message appears, "Host Connection Lost".
I did have some fun in the Training Arena tonight though! Didn't try the DA.

I'm locked out of arena as well. See all the other peeps numbers on the list but no can get in........glad Im not the netowrk admin:D Its anoying, but after 5+ years, I can say AH has a better uptime than my electric company:huh
-
I also get to the pick arena screen, shows peeps on, and then kicked out to the firewall thingy

-

Getting to the arena list just fine, no trouble there.
Then, when selecting an arena, after a long delay, i either go back to password screen (OK gives Host connection lost, cancel gets me back to first startup screen) or i get into the arena. Then two things happen, either it say "Lost UDP, swich to TCP" and i get discoed immediatly, or, it say "host stopped reciving UDP, swich to TCP" and i can stay on TCP more or less fine ( a little warpier than the usual).
and thanks for keeping on it
-
Pretty much what I expected folks. I know that is litle consolation. We are also having troubles getting connected to the arenas.
I know it has been frustrating for everyone and we really do appreciate the patience the community has displayed during this phase of shifting our service to another ISP.
You always hope and dream these things will go smoothly, but inevitably something always comes up. With any luck, the MA will be up at its new home tomorrow, possibly tonight.

Same here. However, if I keep trying I will eventually get in and stay.
One other weird thing, and I have not proved it 100%, but if I go offline first, quit and then try to get into the MA, I seem to have more success. Make just be a fluke, but that is what it seems like is going on for me.

The 'S' is the same in both.
The 'c' and 'k' can be used interchangeably.
The 'u' is 6 letters from the 'o'
The 'z' is 6 letters from the 't'
The 'y' is the same for both.
And there are 6 letters in each name.
Now you know how I got my nickname. :D
