Network issues

Hello,

A number of users had trouble accessing Similar Worlds, uploading images or viewing images, for a few minutes.

This was caused by a system upgrade in all our servers, which caused several conflicts with configuration changes and software updates.

This should all be resolved now, but please let us know if you are still having problems with anything on Similar Worlds.

Cyber Security doesn't always mean Cyber Stability, nam sayin...

Have a great day!

No that's a lie.

If servers are upgraded then you'd inform the users beforehand.

Where are the servers hosted? Tell me this

@midnightsun Do Google or Microsoft inform you every time they run a system update? We run updates every few weeks, that's not the point. Just today it didn't go as expected.

@midnightsun THEY would receive notification when THEIR systems are being updated. while they are receiving updates the system will be slowed considerably. Neither EP nor SW ever supplied me with notifications when their system was updating, it simply became unresponsive for about half an hour.

@Nuno ok. I understand.

Just wanna know more about how the compatibility didn't work.

@Anonymartyr no it doesn't work that way.

As the admin said, they didn't expect this. I actually understand the issue but what I don't understand is how the compatibility didn't work

@midnightsun What I know is that not only did the site become unresponsive but it wouldn't reload at all, for half an hour. It had nothing to do with pictures or posting, the whole site went dead for me.
