I'm sure this has been reported and someone is likely already hard at work sorting it out - but the server has been really having issues lately. Sometimes 5-10 minutes to get on while you get the "Setting up game" screen - or you cannot get on at all. Weird ping spikes every few minutes as well. Don't know what's happening with host - but something isn't right. Any ideas on what is happening?

All OTaC admin should be able to restart the server - there is a post in admin section

Maybe logfiles needs to delete, or something other delayed the server running process , or attacks it, or Werther issiues

I've been able to get on a couple of times this week - but got locked out again yesterday. Was on a map - and once it ended got stuck waiting for the next one. The server status page showed me connected with a score of 0 - but even after 10 minutes it did not load. I tried deleting my local files and using a backup. Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem too?

I know it seems like a silly question, but did you try to press ESC to get back to the server picker and then connect again? I know people have been complaining about server ping issues and such, but nobody else has come forward about waiting to connect for a long time.
Try running your game as administrator if it doesn't work, try allowing port 28960 in your firewall settings.

Hope you don't have these problems for long, hon I enjoy losing to you too much

Oh - I've pressed ESC plenty. I've also tried your suggestion... I even turned the firewall off once (I know! Bad!). Looks like I just cannot play on the Otac server. I can get onto other servers...so it is specifically THIS server.

I just got on with Castle... will see if I get kicked out on the next map load

OK - managed to successfully be on 3 maps without getting timed out. Strange... lets hope it all works!

I'm sorry the potential fixes didn't work. But we now have more to say it's the server that is acting up.

There are Host problems since 02/16/2023, that Info Show up at Controll Panel for the server, it seems they did not get fixed that issue, the notifacation Show up already, no Info that they fixed it, so if there are still server problems, the issiues are Host problems at the server location.
