Got kicked from the game and cant log back in.

And thats exactly at 00:30 UK time..any explanation?

Robinek
26.09.13, 23:40
Yep :( something is wrong ... again :(
And on the main page - the last news is from 20th with the voucher code - but I'm 100% sure yesterday there was info about weekly maintenance ... and now it's gone ...

Same here can't login as well

Thankme
26.09.13, 23:44
Yeah same, cant log back in either, not sure whats going on, tried all the usual first, cleared cache etc, but no go

Some sort of server issue, or unscheduled / non notified maintenance ??

Driller7
26.09.13, 23:44
Any updates on this???

hmm got a blue screen and after that no settlers working

same problem with me, northisle2

ddakka
26.09.13, 23:46
So its not just me...lol. Same prob here. I get to second load screen in flash and it just sits there unable to load. Hopefully they will fix this soon, already getting withdrawal symptoms may have to seek counselling!

hi

cant log in getting stuck on 2nd loading page

2nd time this week on sandycove , anyone else having this problem?

26.09.13, 23:50
Not

26.09.13, 23:50
Anyone from BB shed some light on this? I just started and adventure, and now cant crack on and have to work tomorrow!

Hoppo
26.09.13, 23:50
Well, all we can do is wait. I get to the second loading screen, and it stops loading. At least we know that it is a fault at their end, and not ours. I tried both Chrome, and explorer. Hopefully it will be fixed soon or I am going to lose resources because I cannot rebuild mines etc....

Hard2Earn
26.09.13, 23:51
sandycove doesnt work for me

Hoppo
26.09.13, 23:52
We are all having this problem. Seems to be BB's end. Check other threads, and you will see what I mean. :-)

Driller7
26.09.13, 23:54
Test server is down as well... maybe they got a server problem and of course we got to wait till their morning hours for the techs to go to work drink their coffee and start resolving the issue as always... good thing its Thursday and not Friday...

Lord_Matata
26.09.13, 23:55
seems to be happening almost every day at 00:30 and lasting about 30 min

peachykeen
26.09.13, 23:56
Settlersonline won't load properly in Australia, 2nd page the loading bar is stuck at the beginning.
I did dump cache and reboot. still the same. Frustrating? yes.

NightEye
26.09.13, 23:58
yup, was swapping premium fruit baskets. and I slept my gold buildings just b4 :) buff wasted on me and friend didn't receive all (I hit refresh cuz buffs where acting funny)

ChuckleBrother
26.09.13, 23:58
So much for leaving beta.... issue after issue after issue after issue since you did....

PS same as above.... can't log-in

Isbish
27.09.13, 00:00
Same I was trying to get a battle prediction and it froze so I rebooted and now it gets stuck on the second screen. Have cleared cache and cookies but no dice....glad I'm not alone

Rhadamanthus
27.09.13, 00:04
Dutch server has the same issue, so I guess we have to wait till the morning... Well I call it a night then...
Good luck waiting y'all

Hoppo
27.09.13, 00:05

Well this is the first time that this has happened to me. Looks like their game server is down.

Not worning for me too in Northisle 2. :x I was just waiting for a book to finish to put other in production cause i have a buff active in bookbinder... Pff lost hours yesterday cause of maintenance and seems like ill lose a lot of hours again today... for some reason we dont know...

Little_Radojica
27.09.13, 00:12
Have the same problem, no clue when will that be fixed? Frustrating...

Nogbad2
27.09.13, 00:12
Can't get into Northisle or Sandychav, tried flushing cache etc... switched to google spyware, and not even Botnet Enabler seem to work.

Just tried French and German too, with unused browsers, they stick on loading screen too.
That white background looks familiar, someone corrupted the database again?

Iolanthe
27.09.13, 00:14
Seems this may be a case of "If you're in you're probably okay but don't log out or refresh or you'll be locked out too."

Sandycove is indeed still up, and I hear Newfoundland is as well (no news on Northisle) but I can't get into any of them either, with Chrome or IE. Just a whole lot of:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/uploads/819253760LoadingBarNotLoading.JPG

Whatever it is it's not Maint or everyone would have been kicked. Since it is the very wee hours in tech support land if actual humans are needed to fix it it may be a bit but *fingers crossed* it sorts itself before too long.

Really? That's weird. o.O

27.09.13, 00:14
Same here, prompted to refresh 20 min ago, now cant load:

My brother had to refresh too, but he can login and play

auntyrae
27.09.13, 00:15
Not very impressed, any decent company that runs an online business should have people online 24hrs a day to fix issues when they arise, its ridiculous that we should have to wait for their techs to get to work before this is dealt with, let alone having someone from the company keep us updated as to what the problem is.

Steve_Legacy
27.09.13, 00:17
yeah getting same problems cant log into stuck just into second loading screen.

LuckyMokil
27.09.13, 00:17
I refreshed my browser as I was unable to re-build my wheat fields and now am stuck on the loading screen, I am on Sandycove so it appears to be having issues as well.

Thankme
27.09.13, 00:17
I wonder if I'll get my premium time extended, like they do with maintenance.


I have an account on US Server Ares, its working fine :-(

SirWilhelm
27.09.13, 00:18
I do also have problems today. It can be due to a generally wobbly net connection, but other sites work fine.
ALso I consider it cheating, from the game providers' side, when I have lost the "seventh day bonus gems" now twice in a short period of time because "the updates" have prevented me from loging on.

Regards
Sir Wilhelm

27.09.13, 00:29
test server has same, well sort off. live server loads for like 8% then jumps back to 5%.

test server shows this at the 2nd screen:

following it's advise doesn't help

Nogbad2
27.09.13, 00:33
Ah, the missing data file. We remember that, somebody has been trying to do something 'on the fly', and they've mucked up the DB. Naughty BB techs.

Steve_Legacy
27.09.13, 00:34
Yawn... fix it already and the magic word "please"

Lyth
27.09.13, 00:35
Having the same issue as well. My premium is going to expire in 2 hours , was about to finish RB adv, what a waste:(

Jim_B
27.09.13, 00:35
fixing those golems I hope - clock is still ticking BB. So many bugs you'd be better off calling Rentokill

Tripi
27.09.13, 00:36
Time for bed then... perhaps we'll get an apology gift-mail in the morning once they've fixed things.

ramurele
27.09.13, 00:37
was able to log in Newfoundland , but not on Northistle .
not impressed by the lack of info about any tech issues and yet again, had to hunt the forums, to see if any problems have been reported

Jim_B

hotstuff1962
27.09.13, 00:39
Cant get back in here either, seems to be a major problem. Just before I refreshed I was doing nords and when clicking the battle icon to send the gen to a bandit camp nothing came up and the gen wouldnt move.
Dont know whats going on but it seems to be a major issue by the looks of it.

Reload your browser Hairy.. and you will get locked out too

Many of the German servers are having the same problem so whatever it is it's not just us and the Test.

Dragavon
27.09.13, 00:57
I also have problems with the testserver.

No problems whatsoever on my US account. The problem must be at BB in Germany.

Well, it is 2am in London at the moment so probably not alot is going to happen :(

Steve_Legacy
27.09.13, 01:02
You saying they dont have 24hr support on site.. i cant believe that, sure if the game was free but people are invested good money more than they would to a normal mmorpg to play this.

Splotty
27.09.13, 01:02
Also getting same problem, reloaded and cant get on, first issue ive had with game. Cheers Sinister for reply, hope the BB guys fix it before me iron mines go cold...

Jim_B
27.09.13, 01:03
if someone was working on the server and did something that caused this - doesn't that kind of suggest someone is there to fix it?

Steve_Legacy
27.09.13, 01:05
Yeah u would think so Jim.. unless

1. Rat ate data cable
2. Someone forgot to top up electric metre
3. Night cleaners rebooted the servers to watch Iplayer or Youtube

lol

it will be pretty weird that game called The Settlers ONLINE dont have 24/7 personals :)

27.09.13, 01:14
I cant login either- the loading bar is stuck at the start, is this a common problem tonight?

Iolanthe
27.09.13, 01:15
Yep. Poland and France have it too (along with Germany and the Test server) so that's either a heck of a football game or one massive rat. o.o

Steve_Legacy

BAAAHHHHHJJJAAA
27.09.13, 02:13
Yeah I got kicked and can't log back in. I get the load screen but the bar freezes. IDK if it's another security breach or what.


Yeah I get the same as zarrin2012.

Tso seems to be stuck as well

Sandycove is not still up for me, I get the same frozen progress bar at loading page and it just sits there indefinitely until I decide to go away.



Seems this may be a case of "If you're in you're probably okay but don't log out or refresh or you'll be locked out too."

Sandycove is indeed still up, and I hear Newfoundland is as well (no news on Northisle) but I can't get into any of them either, with Chrome or IE. Just a whole lot of:

No word on the timescale of a fix? Can anyone from BB comment on wether it will be done in next couple of hours?

27.09.13, 12:43
Game went down last night and couldn't get back in for over an hour (so gave up)...
Couldn't get in today (and couldn't get on forums).... Can obviously get on forums now so will try the game...
Chronic lag in the game (and yes, I have emptied cache etc). THe problem is your game not my computer....
Since we've left beta, it seems to be issue after issue after issue...
What is going on at BB HQ? A once brilliant game is full of issues, bugs, stupid decisions, etc....
I fear for the future of the game...

lulu10093
27.09.13, 12:47
Anyone from BB know why in under 24 hours the game and forums have crashed unexpectedly?
Any explanation would be useful?
Also you do realize BB when you bring more content in this might happen more frequently!
Ok last year we had Halloween event BUT

we didn't have to kill golems
it wasn't a server event
and now your throwing premium time and collectibles etc into the mix

Do you really Know if the server can take all this?
as im now going to be expecting the servers to crash again anytime soon as nobody has even said anything or apologized etc for the problems or even explained what is going on.

Let me guess gremlins been eating the wires?
you had a temporary power cut on all servers?

Any thing really BB would be helpful

peachykeen
27.09.13, 12:51
I can't agree more to some kind of transparency. I invested lots of money, and others invested loads of time and aspiration. It would seem fair for BB to come clean to us and not exploit our loyalty to the brand.

Jim_B
27.09.13, 13:14
Pehaps it's time for some of that award winning community relations (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/22620-Special-Best-Classic-MMO!)? I think we can forgive a few technical problems. It's the continuous lack of explanation and apology that irks me.

SmurfAsH
27.09.13, 13:22
This time (last hour) I think BB accidentally took all servers down when only testserver was to be given maintenance..
Earlier this night login servers stopped working - if you logged out, you couldn't log in again.

Hello, everyone!

We have had two outages of service today, and for that we want to apologize for the inconvenience this has caused all of you. We are currently looking into these outages and as soon as I have more information from the investigation, I will relay it here as soon as possible.

Of course, if you need help or have account questions, please contact our Support (www.thesettlersonline.com/en/help-and-support) and they will assist you.

Best,

Lulu, echoing my exact same fears. Too much being bolted on when older bugs are still in existence. I again ask for a cleanup of what we have currently, before anything else gets added, lets get the thing stable first.
Also, the Test server is not serving its original purpose of catching bugs before they go live. It's now just a playground, and horrendous bugs are ignored and allowed to come to the live servers.
The only 'test' is the occasional 'load-balancing', and even that is not a real test of real world activity, hence we continue to be plagued with lag.

So I presume some sort of compensation will be put in place. Many people (like myself) lost hours of premium time and because the major outage started some 2 and half hours before the end that day's log in bonus and corrected itself hours after the log in reset, they were reset to day 1. This is not acceptable and needs to be addressed with more than platitudes of "we are looking into it"

+1 from me. Loss of premium time plus gold chain running without buffs for 4 hours makes for a lot of very unhappy players. Especially when you live in Australia and the server outage started at 9:30am, just when we are about to start the morning buff plus rebuild cycle.

Hopefully BB have a 4-hour Premium Coin buff that can be given out, plus a nice 4x buff to compensate for lost coin production. When people are paying gems for premium time and gold refills, it's not ok for them to go to waste.

unicornlinzy1
28.09.13, 09:03
+1 to all the above.
I had my fairy castle running unbuffed for a while as well :(

-software/browser etc is up to date. It's not my internet connection either as everything else works fine.

Nobody has been able to get into the test server since they did maintenance on it last night the whole site is down that will probably get fixed once BB is back at work on monday :(

It stopped being funny, when BB suggested it was my browser that was outdated and not a problem on their end. As is obvious from the hundreds of users posting here we obviously all ended up with an outdated browser... simultaneously... twice in one week...

Hi everyone,

Our technical teams are still investigating this issue and it may take a little time as we want to make sure this issue is solved for all instances. If you're having difficulties logging in, try clearing your browser cache and restarting the game. If this does not work, please contact Support (www.thesettlersonline.com/en/help-and-support).

Best,

RousayBob

Yeah, grey screen for me too. In a public library in Orkney where the game has worked before. The Test Server is behaving similarly so I initially assumed the Council had banned the page as pornographic or as a danger to vulnerable library users.

hello,


from early this morning 7:30 CET , till 21:45 CET , i was disconnected more than 30 times without any reason.And i hear that i am not the only one with these problems today

this was not going on previously, even last night, everything was ok. I havent changed any setups, internet connection is working properly

it happens every few minutes, sometimes twice or three times in a row and is making me really angry, as the weekend is the only time when i can spend most of the day geeking settlers.

would you be so kind and check what the problem might be, becouse it is really really bothering me and this is the reason i cannot do any LT adventures with blocks, becouse i will loose precious army !

thank you

When I try to login today I see that images are not shown on the home screen..and game does not load..
is a blank screen..

Message is (static14.cdn.ubi.com unavailable)

Could be a local problem (DNS issue) or is this server down at the moment??

Just wondering :)

checking again later.. :)

Looked like a DNS issue..

AmySafeunderdark
11.10.13, 17:20
If any of you still have problems: Try and reload your browser, or restart your computer.
My issue is solved :)

static14.cdn.ubi.com was unreachable.
apparently this server address could not be resolved to an IP address, making it unreachable.

by the looks of it: DNS problem, not a server issue.
it's fixed but could take about 48 Hrs if you are unlucky..
(time is takes for all DNS server to be synchronised to link to the correct address)

Hope it doesn't take that long.. :)

(it seems i can load the game with IE, but i can't drop resources into mayors office) i noticed that i couldn't drop the resources from my star menu into the mayors house (not a deposit refill duh). after a refresh the game wouldn't load anymore. i'm using Crome.

ohh yeah, pictures on the homepage won't load either..

Hi

I just started to have problems to log into the game, I do get past the push play button, but then all I get is a darkblue or white screen and I won´t get any further. I have now tried this on 3 different computers, so its not a cache/cookie problem.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

I've got this problem today. It's been at least an hour now.

Narrabri2
28.10.13, 01:11
Unfortunately this is intermittent.

I have reported via ticket system without reply.

In Order:

1. Log In - and user name is verified message "you are logged in as..."
2. Click Play button.
3. Splash screens showing game is loading with progress bar
4. Dialog with flashing text notice "Loading 1 of ...."
5. Text changes to "Loading Map" which flashes once or twice then freezes

Remedies tried so far.
a) Cleared Browser Cache
b) Rebooted machine
c) Tried 3 different Browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Safari)
d) I have left the game in this state for up to 2 hours in the hope that it is some sort of log jam.

The only one that seems to work
e) Try again several hours later.

I have PAID to PLAY because I felt there was substantive support behind the game.

In practice this is proving to be a falsehood. Its the kind of bug that has me looking to other games.

Not been working all morning for me either. Get to 'play now' screen and message pops up telling me I haven't got FlashT player installed. Er. yes I have. And it was fine last night before I logged off. Sometimes get background images, sometimes don't.
Other games working fine so assume no problem with the FlashT...
Gonna be really annoyed if I have to rebuild all my gold mines, they were due to sleep from today.............

Are you able to try from another browser at all? (If you haven't already)

Sheddoe
28.10.13, 11:29
Hadn't tried a different browser, but as you can see from my update, I finally got access to the game. It's a mystery, just glad I didn't lose buildings/resources too much.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Since you are able to post in the forum I'm assuming you were able to log in. Which would suggest you could connect to the homepage before.

If you are able to, try and see if it happens in another browser as well.

If that works, but you don't want to use another browser, you could try clearing your browser history (for a howto see http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/25422-HOWTO-Delete-your-browsing-history-clear-cookies).

When you have problems loading the game, due to a connection failed message, a white screen, the progress bar stopping, only the ocean showing (no land nor buildings) or something in between, go back to the homepage and try if logging out and then logging in again helps you.

By blue screen I assume you mean a Blue window. A blue screen which should have white text is a Windows error message telling you something has gone very wrong with Windows which needs to be attended to before you try logging back into the game. Failure to do this could result in your computer needing expensive repairs.

My problem with "freezing" during loading was fixed in a curious way.
I started having a problem with Facebook displaying the first part of my timeline.
Looked around the web for ideas and found a suggestion that it could be a CHROME issue along with a fix (CMD + Mac) (CTRL + Windows) and it fixed my Facebook problem (it seems permanently).
The next time I had problems with Settlers freezing during map load I tried the same trick and it WORKED !!
Now I'm no techie and I can't tell you why it is a problem with CHROME but it is definitely a fix that works for me.

Okay, I've done all the normal stuff - rebooted the pc, cleared the cache, not stored screename or password, different browser etc etc etc etc

But I still cant login? I was ok on my laptop after maintenance but now I've had a break & tried logging in on a pc, it wont let me in. If I'm lucky I can get as far as the status bar, it goes up to 100% & then stops dead. I even had trouble trying to get into the forum. It's as tho the Settlers site has gone on a major go-slow & refusing to move.

Anybody else having issues/got any suggestions that havent been tried & proved useless before?? (yeah, you know the one's I mean - the type we keep getting palmed off with as if it's our fault the game wont load rather than admitting the game might have a bug :p )

Hey lindor,

Instead of waiting till you get logged out, try to log out manually and then wait at least 15 minutes (I suggest waiting 20 minutes just to be sure), then log in and try loading the game again. If that doesn't help you'll have to contact Support.

Every time we have an event I find my account having issues.

Whilst it's always wise to understand that running a website is a difficult task I am beginning to feel that the consistancy with which things go wrong at events time leaves me taking the only viable alternative available to me.

You really should be ashamed of yourselves for taking money for this level of failure.

I don't look forward to events anymore, I simply dread them.

And it's not something you seem to be able to show any control over.

I'm having the same problem as piggymalone, it was working fine this morning but this evening the bar won't fully load in IE, it loads fully in Chrome but won't change from the bar screen to the game.

Unable to login made me clear cache and cookies.
Then I could login but *play now' button is numb.

No restart of browser or comp makes it work.
