I also want to add my apologies for how long this took to solve. I spent the first half of the week bouncing between this problem and installing a new exhaust on my car. I finally got enough time to focus on the problems after dropping my car at a shop to have them complete the install. If you're in...

While it is true that there have been problems with internet infrastructure across the US this past week, it appears that our specific problem with our DSL resides with our modem. The short version is: I've switched the modem from standard mode with the PPPoE login on the modem, to bridged mode with...

Good work! Loving the use of remote logging and so on that shit is so cool! Trigger Did all that remote stuff with my phone too. Brought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the trip just in case this sort of thing happened. Was a bit slow going on such a small screen (lots of scrolling around) but it...

Servers Now on New Hardware
So as you all know I was on vacation for a week between Wednesday of last week and the Wednesday before that. You all also know that Poseidon failed once on that Sunday, and twice on Monday. Before leaving for our vacation, I set up SpeedFan on Poseidon and configured it to send an e-mail to the tex...

UPDATE 2: About Recent Server Instability
UPDATE 2: Cause of the most recent lockups has been identified as a corrupted character file. This was causing the servers to crash when their player tried to log them in. The only known corrupted file thus far has been restored to the most recent non-corrupt copy. ---------------------------------...

Don't you just love how a 5 minute job ALWAYS turns into a multiple hour job? I even accounted for minor issues in my original time estimate. But no, we got hit by two issues. 1- Power supply that came with the case that Phoenix is in decided it didn't want to work anymore. Can't blame it being a 30...

Unscheduled Server Maintenance
Bringing the servers down so I can shut down the database server to add a hard drive. I've been trying to find a time to do this where I have help but also there aren't players on. As a result this hard drive has been sitting on the desk for over a month now. Figure it wont take more than 20 minutes...

The main redirect server irc.stratics.com has been going down a bit lately. This is the server most people initially connect to, which actually logs you into one of the many in the Stratics network. You can find a list of these servers at http://chat.stratics.com *Note: that the server mentioned in ...

And okay, now having messed with them both, what's the difference between the Driving and the Chase cams? Driving is a rigid camera that is always directly behind the head. Chase Cam kinda floats a bit side to side. Instead of turning as soon as the character does, it has a threshold before beginni...

If anyone is interested in helping to rebuild Poseidon, I will match* donations up to $250 total to go towards a rebuild. If that limit is reached, that $500 will build a more than capable machine for Hala/Ysgard easily. *The time frame in which I will match it will depend on how soon the number is...

Some technical info for anyone interested: The server has two PC2700 DDR slots (not DDR2, not DDR3). The slots are capable of running dual channel configuration if two matching sticks are used. The RAM that was in the server was a matched pair (dual channel kit) of 1 GB Kingston HyperX memory. When ...

After further investigation and testing, it has been determined that the APC UPS unit itself should be fine. However, a self test run on the unit determined that the battery is bad and needs to be replaced. We wont know much more until we replace the battery, as it did pass the rest of it's self-tes...

Servers Down: So why is this happening?
A week, two weeks ago? Don't remember right now... tired and in a bad mood at this point... Anyway, the last actual power outage we had seems to have damaged the UPS that serves as surge protection and battery backup for Eostre (Tairis), Poseidon (Hala/Ysgard) and Phoenix (Database). The reason Phoe...

Good news: It's not the network adapter in Zeus as previously thought. Bad news: The wireless access point that was doing double duty as the wired switch between the two rooms is bad. If more than one network cable is plugged in with any active devices on those cables, the WAP continually resets. We...

Downtime: Bad network hardware
Server availability will be sporadic while I work on an issue with a network adapter that's between the game servers and the internet. The adapter is repeatedly dropping connection and resetting. It is the main link between the room the DSL modem is in, and the room the game servers are in. Unfortun...

Technically, it's a model issue. It's just that some video cards are more 'tolerant' of the issue than others. What's happening is that some of the vertices in the model have bad positions. Why they go so wildly off into the distance on some cards and not others, I'm not sure. But it's definitely in...
