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.

  10. I can’t wait! I’ll just play tomorrow cuz the game won’t load for me right now.

  11. yeah. this is wicked slow right now.

  13. Hoozah! Upgrades and updates!

  14. Subscribers know what one of the new features is…it’s a REALLY nice one =)

    Hope they hurry up and get this stuff fixed, ’cause I’m itching to play and can’t get anything to load…

  15. man for a while ffr would load and so would mp, then ffr would load but not mp or but a few songs, now ffr wont load xD! looking forward to your server fuctioning correctly again!

  16. “need for speed” are you putting speed mods on here?

  17. i can’t get anything to load either, stupid matinence.

  18. >.

  19. blah forums arent working now. they worked fine for me up until now. now it just says database error.

  20. rodisconch

  21. eek. I can’t get on the forums. Database error it says.

  22. is it my autofail feature? that would be cool.

  23. yay!!! new feature…yay ffr

  24. 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

  25. woot! faster site! XD

  26. YAY YAY YAY

    OMG HOORAY.

  27. w00t thats awsome to hear man!

  34. Hehehe. I know what the new feature is.

  35. If this means that we get Auto-fail, I will love you forever.

  36. I agree with everbody. Yay for ffr!!! :)

  37. I`m dying.
    X_X

  38. 38th!

  39. 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!

  40. 40th =)

  41. 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

  42. 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.=)

  43. Auto-fail? Or better? :D

  44. 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
