DataCenter Update
Posted in Uncategorized on March 19th, 2007
Yay! Only one more day to go until that core router gets updated at the datacenter in the Chicago Board of Trade building. While we still maintain connectivity, access speeds are slow until that core router is replaced and we get back onto our full Dual Gigabit Up/Down stream connections. Make sure when playing the game that you let the game and the lower multiplayer module fully load to avoid any issues.
This has given me some time to cook up a couple extra new features for the current release of FFR that will be released this week.
Cheers,
Synthlight + Need for Speed
*Edit March 20th Synthlight* – Only about 6 hours to go until we are back to full speed! I can’t wait.

Posted at 3:04pm on March 19th, 2007
is it my autofail feature? that would be cool.
Posted at 3:17pm on March 19th, 2007
yay!!! new feature…yay ffr
Posted at 3:19pm on March 19th, 2007
Sorry about the slowness these past 2 days. We only have 2 options, move to a new datacenter or stick it out with the current datacenter until they get the new part in tomorrow night. Once they get the new part in, the site will be explosively fast.
The FFR servers themselves are sitting around and waiting for traffic that they are not getting because the core router can’t deliver the traffic.
Cheers,
Synthlight

38th!
Posted at 7:23pm on March 19th, 2007
A new problem has started with loading. Its stuck 374k while loading. Even a couple of days later, it is still doing that. I’m assuming its because of the datacenter problem, and itll be fixed tomorrow. Hope for the best!
Posted at 7:23pm on March 19th, 2007
40th =)
Posted at 7:28pm on March 19th, 2007
Yup, the loading problems are because of the datacenter.. There are about 3 or 4 problems that have popped up solely because of the datacenter. Everything will be fixed tomorrow night between 9pm-11pm eastern. When things go down, they should only be down for about 20 minutes while the datacenter rewires.
Cheers,
Synthlight
Posted at 8:08pm on March 19th, 2007
Awesome, and I assure you all you’ll love this feature. It’s the best thing added to FFR in the entire thing I’ve been here, well, maybe not as good as MP/reverse, for me.=)
Posted at 8:19pm on March 19th, 2007
Auto-fail? Or better?
Posted at 8:38pm on March 19th, 2007
Yes!! It’s so slow right now, especially when I’m in my computer class because this game is really popular at school. I can’t wait until tomorrow
Posted at 8:48pm on March 19th, 2007

But then songs like the 8th token song and that new onions song won’t load
