lol, Tore, I wonder if the record of 28 usermade servers in the list from the 11.12.2008 would be beated!

Not by me i think, wee will reduce it to 3 public servers and servers only for members, so you will not see them LOL

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 03, 2009, 22:53:46 »

Tonight is absolutely typical, 2230 BST

All VStep servers unavailable, all indicating hundreds of players on each server none allowing access.

7 Urii NH severs - no players on any one.

10 Titan (Tore) servers - no players on any one.

1 Framvik server - has players!!

It took 45 minutes to check all these, most time wasted by waiting for response from VStep.

Hi Mike.

When you say that all the Vstep Servers are unavailable, is that excepting all of the ones that work?

After reading your post, I went and checked. Got onto the Solent, Rotterdam, New York and Hamburg (ordinary) environments with no problems. Then went onto the Solent Add-on environment. Again, no problems, logged on rapidly. No-one on any of them, granted.

Lost interest after that.

I'm on the Solent Add-on one right now.

The problem might not be with Vstep in this case....

TerryRussell · « **Reply #34 on:** April 03, 2009, 23:18:26 »

Being an Admin makes no difference at all. The server has no idea of that.

I just did what I do from time to time and logged onto the servers to see if anyone is there. There wasn't so I went away again.

I'm in Rotterdam environment now...

Terry

All the Private Servers gave almost immediate connection. All the Vstep servers gave nothing, got connecting and then they hung. I don't think it can be from my end otherwise the private servers would have had the same problem.

Hi Mike.

I'm having no problems at all. I don't have anything special. In fact, I'm using a slightly under-spec PC for this.

A tip: if you just get the "connecting" image, with the moving bar and it goes no further, try switching away (alt/tab) for 10 seconds and then coming back. You'll probably find you've connected straight away.

Not quite right the titan 1 server plenty of players from time to time, and the same on them all, but officious not 24/7 but still it's many players on them, you was joust unlucky when you try ed

Please, could someone put 20 additional servers in the list, because the current ones are all empty & VSTEP's are unaccessable on this side of big water.

and put 20 more will resolve you problems i has power to run 50 servers, will that help you

Hehe, the principle is - if there's no way to get rid of all usermade servers, then why not to make them even more, so there will be the best choice of where to play, like Sadsid said.

OK i understand you thinking but Sadside have a god point then, remember vi are about of 33442 total members if all shall run servers well cud be fun but difficult to fine some you like.
we in Titan have 3 hidden servers so you can't see them only for members and their we haw fun
Good to see you haw changed you mind from shot down all to open many more servers lol

i think i know watt you will with this 360 degrees turnaround

Yes but it didn't make any difference

TerryRussell · « **Reply #45 on:** April 04, 2009, 16:26:43 »

Shame.

I got it twice when I went to connect to various servers and both times, I alt/tabbed to answer a message on teh Forum and when I alt/tabbed back, I was connected.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #46 on:** April 04, 2009, 17:09:32 »

Right now none of the VStep servers are working. Titan servers all won't move past the 'received server information' step, the only ones you can connect to are Framvik, all of Urii's servers and Dutch shipsim...........................

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 04, 2009, 17:19:29 »

Been alt/tabbing like mad right now, makes no difference. Just got into Server 1 Solent though!! Great no one here!! I will wait for a few days and see if anyone arrives!!

Or I could walk down to the real Solent and look at the USS Theodore Roosevelt!!

Hey this is a really great server - I spawned without a ship!! What fun !!

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #48 on:** April 04, 2009, 17:29:06 »

Takes as long to wait for the Hovercraft Museum to open as it does to get onto a VStep server, but yes that would be great, I take take a photo for the Forum!!

terry

i'll say it again even though i will probably get an ear full for repetition ( but not deviation or hesitaion) :

is it possible for server counters to reflect the number of players actually on them real time. if not what's the point of them .......... yeah thats right......... no point
