Worldwide problems BO servers

***UPDATES WILL BE ADDED IN THE COMMENTS - latest Aug. 26***


Hi all,

It seems we are having problems with our servers. People have been having problems since last week. And still, especially last night; see Kamikaze's post in the admin group chat (if you're in it, that is...). Me personally today: one time I can connect to both, the other time to only one. I've been testing with MicSa. He has the same problems. Important here is, this happens WITH AND WITHOUT Paronicon running. So we can rule out Paronicon as the culprit.

I have opened a ticket @ Gameservers (picture). Usually they respond quickly. Please no-one else get involved here. That would complicate and mix stuff up. Thanks!

For now the servers are running WITHOUT PARONICON so that Gameservers can have a clean look. We'll do daily reboots of both servers and Paronicon, 11:30 am EST.

If not, then IF and WHEN you can't connect, log out of the game and Steam and try again. Not helpful? Do a reboot of your PC. Hopefully that helps. Still no joy? You could also try resetting your PC's connection settings. How?

Close Black Ops and Steam
Open a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) as an administrator, then:

Type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter
Type ipconfig /registerdns and press enter
Type ipconfig /release and press enter
Type ipconfig /renew and press enter
Type netsh winsock reset and press enter
Restart your computer and launch Steam and BO

This *might* help. But it probably won't. If you know how then you can try changing your network card's MAC-address (provided your network card doesn't have a hardcoded MAC-address). I've had succes with this with the dreaded spinning wheel of death, more than once. Just ask if you want to know how. Who knows...that will help for now.

Cya later!!

An answer already. And not the one we were hoping for...

So.... I'm doing a reboot 11:30am EST, start Paronicon, cross my fingers, hope for the best!

UPDATE:

Gameservers, the hosting party of our 2 Black Ops servers, has posted a message on our login page.

As they mentioned in the support ticket, they are aware of and working on the problem.

Hopefully we'll be ready for battle soon again, without reboots and other interruptions :pewpew:

I did some tests this morning on several BO1 servers, I checked according to the origin of the place where these servers are located. Finally, whether from Montreal, New Jersey, Dallas, Chicago, Russia they all have the same connection problems intermittently and since yesterday it is difficult to change your weapons in the game configuration, it often keeps the old configuration of these weapons. However, in the morning I managed to change my weapon setup, but it took forever for them to change. The problem comes from Activision and it has no relation to the origin of the servers.
