Three different nations?! Banned for multi! Just kidding. We did some server work -- will fix it now. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi everyone, As part of our ongoing commitment to not being hacked, we've recently upgraded the forums to a new server running the latest and greatest operating system. At the same time, we're upgrading the forum software. If or someone you know are adversely affected as a result of this, please seek medical attention from your nearest technical support avenue, such as Discord or here on the forums. We hope you continue to enjoy the forums and all the fun they provide! Yours sincerely, ss23 (sysadmin, M.D.)

You should probably either learn to use a computer, or shut your damn pie hole. The issue is to do with connectivity, not server load.

Also, if anyone recieves this error in the near future, can they please visit this URL and private message me the output (IRC or Discord is fine if you don't want to do it on here): https://politicsandwar.com/cdn-cgi/trace

I've fixed this. Was a rather glaring mis-configuration where an old copy of the site was being served. Thanks for reporting it.

I've made a tweak that might help users. Please monitor for the next week and let me know if you see an increase or decrease in these numbers. Unfortunately this is hard to debug because we have no visibility on how or when this error occurs. As people have noticed, it seems to be mainly concentrated to Europe.

You know what's more annoying? Messages not working at all! The fix I did yesterday to make messages work again has this bug. I expect Sheepy to fix it properly at some point, but honestly, it's not a priority for me to fix personally since you can just ignore it.

Unfortunate side effect of me being lazy and the code being bad. This is better than before, but you're welcome to dislike it.

aw snap this is so solved right now? YOU W0T M8 I WILL DESTROY YOU BRB DELETING SERVEr.

SOLVED BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Better to have the API versioned /api/1.0/endpoint -> /api/1.1/endpoint

Fix has been deployed to the test server. If people want to test it and let me know it's fixed now, I'll deploy it to the production server. Else I'll wait a day then release it. Or get Alex to.

I've got a partial fix for this released to the live server, but will get a "proper" fix done and ready for the test server and Sheepy to verify at some point today.

Server has got more resources now, so it should be faster. As always, let us know if there are any problems as a result of this.

There was a problem with when MAP's and whatnot were assigned, I've fixed it now.

This happens occasionally when there are server issues. Generally, if you wait a little while, they should go away.

I have fixed this now. Just let us know if there's any other adverts causing problems.

There was a DDoS attack against a server in which the PW datacenter was in. Basically, things go down occasionally, but they'll come back up, so don't worry about it ^.^

If anyone else gets this, can they please PM me the entire URL when they have it (and like, the next URL that works too, if they need to try a few times till it works).

It's on the list. Will try fix it this weekend, but we all know how it goes. Perhaps Malone or Sheepy will fix it instead!

No one knows.

Sorry about the trouble this has caused. The bug was fixed, but it looks like it didn't take effect. It should be operating as you expect as of now. Sheepy should be on soon and I'll ask him to take a look at fixing this war, since it obviously caused a lot of stress for the two of you. On that note, this is a non-discussion forum and childish comments help no one. I'll leave it up to the other moderators whether they want to issue a warning for this, but if I see it again, I'll do it myself. Fixing bugs is made immeasurably harder when I have to dig through this much crap to find useful information.

How would this work on practice? Since it would ruin the game to not be able to declare on people who're blocking you, the only way I could imagine this working is if you have a user "Blocked", you cannot see their in game messages, and nothing else. Would that suffice for the feature? Also, I would guess it's best to not let the person sending you messages know they're blocked, but what are the general thoughts on that?

I don't really have a way to debug this. Is there anyone else getting this issue?

Sweet. Let us know if it breaks again or anything like that.
