DCTALK servers will be down

[brourke228]

The Dreamcast-Talk game servers will be down for a day or two for server upgrades. Sorry for any inconvinience.

[brourke228]

The dctalk pso server is currently online on the new server. If you experience crashes/disconnects or if other players have difficultly joining your games please report back here. The other servers (q3, q3 master server, max pool) are still offline atm.

I see someone is playing in the ship but i can't seem to enter the vega ship, i can view how many ppl are inside, i can actually choose the ship and the block without any delay but after that nothing happens, i don't actually get in for some reason, the game doesn't freeze or disconnect, it simply stays there forever.

I'm the person on vega. I was ablet o connect without any problems. Ill try restarting the server though.

Ok, i just restarted the server see if you can join it now.

Ok, i was able to come in.
You made the game and i tried joining, but......same deal, nothing happens, i saw the game but nothing happens after picking it.
I used "alt+f4" and now i can't get in the server because my GC# is still online, problem is, it's taking an absurd amount of time to disconect.
I'm basicly preventing myself from entering the server

[brourke228]

Thats odd. I'll restart the server again. Try making a game and i'll see if i can join it.

You should be good to connect now.

[brourke228]

Okay, I'm getting the same problem. The game list doesn't appear, it just hangs. I'm gonna turn the server off there are clearly still some issues.

[K_I_R_E_E_K]

I made, you didn't join, i decided to go to the lobby and......i can't enter the lobby, nothing happens.

Since i'm guessing were both stuck another restart may be required.
I will now eat my dinner so i can't be here for the next few minutes, also, if you have msn you can have my contact in my profile, makes chating easier.

EDIT: yep

I'm gonna let impulse take a look at it later. The server might need to be recompiled. There is an error loading the bans file, I'm not sure if that would cause this.

If no bans are set and none have ever been set, its quite possible that the bans file specified doesn't exist yet. Generally, that error in the server's log is harmless.
