Connection Issues on EU Servers

Hello everyone,

currently, Wargaming (not just World of Tanks) is experiencing severe trouble with servers. It is unclear what caused it, but some WG employee posts suggest it was some sort of failure on Wargaming’s side (hardware and such), but as of now (21:35), they do not know what happened. The servers affected are: EU1, RU3, WoWp EU (such loss!) and WoT Blitz RU.

According to German community manager, the situation will hopefully be resolved until 22:00.

Edit (21:49): the core of the problem was found. EU1 should be functional soon.
Edit (22:02): the networking problems have been resolved apparently and currently, WG is working on restoring the gameplay
Edit (22:06): currently no ETA on restoration, they are working on it
Edit (00:06): EU1 should be running by now

Well, SS, that German CC is saying, that until 22, he’s at the office and will post any update, not that until then it will be fixed ;)

    Should be CET (Central EuropianTime).
    With “S” – we would have Summer time, that ended last Sunday :)

  You are both right. Thats because you both talk about different guy. 30 minutes was time given by Grimbru on EN part of forum and the other time was given by W4RGAMER on German part of the forum.

  Saying it will be fixed until then means it is working but will break after that time.

  And ballanced for the game necessities!

Interesting, as far as I’ve seen, EU1 was down for like 30 minutes and then back on…

WoWp EU IS DOWN

epicly funny :)

EU1 server is down again and some of my clan friends were playing when it happend. Now they cannot log in in the EU2 server

I was playing on EU2 and ½ hour ago or so, it started suffering massively. Oddly enough, not for all players. But I had ping 999 (bouncing up and down but between 500 and sticking on 999 for several seconds) for the duration of the match.

In the garage, the ping said 27ms EU1 and 25ms EU2.
What gives?

Login servers are separate (as in hardware) from the game servers. When pinging from outside the battle you never reach the actual server the game is on, just the login ones. Your situation clearly shows that the game servers were suffering major overloads.

  Even more funny: somehow you can have 60ms during battle and red dot at the same time…

    Funny is that: green dot, 40 ms, and you can shot arty like autoloader but none bullet fly xD

      You are losing packets. As in, vital data just doesn’t end up arriving back to you. The packets of data that DO end up arriving arrive within good time, thus the green dot.

        any good program out there that can monitor the packet data lost ?

      I have noticed that if you get a complete disconnect then the light doesn’t always go red, it’s a feature.

Test server is online people. Join me there! :P

ultra helpful having clan members DC on startup of clanwars… sigh

Stronk game servers melting down due to new ricochet mechanic?

But at least now we know, what is the player treshold for EU2 server – I tried to log in there, was thrown into the waiting queue for couple of seconds and when I got in, player count was about 128000 on EU2. So basically that could be the limit of one server.

That was a bad timing. Players started flooding to EU2 and this made EU2 insanely laggy, in the middle of the CW primetime :(

Well, it happened just as I played my first game of the evening driving my TOG out. I got kicked back to the garage then to login screen before I took a single shot… I then logged into EU2 hoping to take it for a spin, but it was marked as “in battle” and stayed that way for the whole evening. -_-
So I went to see Fury with some pals at the local cinema. What… a piece… of junk. And the French translation was even worse. They even messed up .30 cal for 30mm caliber several times ! As far as scenario and characters are concerned, you can find most parts on TVTropes. So if you didn’t see it yet… Well don’t go further than torrenting it when it releases, just for the 5 minutes of Tiger 131 “action”.
