Game-hosting servers down ?

[Archimonde666]

Hello guys,

i'm here on behalf of IBCE (impossible bosses clan europe). We had always been playing on enterprise gaming for various reason and more recently due to reforged.
Nowadays we noticed that is was getting more and more complicated to get thoses games hosted via https://host.entgaming.net/#host.
First Amsterdam server seems not to be able to host anymore
Then we experienced huge freezes when playing on France server
At the time i am writing this only Montreal server is barely working.

We know that ent is gonna shut down someday, but since it is still up, can this be fixed ?
We would be happy to provide any help if you think we can be useful.

Thank you by advance,

[Archimonde666]

I read somewhere in this forum that it should be possible to run our dedicated game-hosting server using ghost++
therefore i did not manage to get it working :

Code: Select all

Has this functionnality been disabled ?

[Archimonde666]

@Archimonde666 Sorry for the delay. Europe should be back up now. It hasn't been disabled -- if you run your bot in the background and let me know then I can check the log when I have a chance and see why it is rejecting the login attempt. BTW IIRC your password must be all lowercase for it to work properly; if you attempted to login before setting password to all lowercase, you may need to try a different username like "[bot]IBCE2" (maybe set username to lowercase too just in case).

[Archimonde666]

Thank you a lot for your answer,

Indeed i managed to get ghost working with lower case username and password.
You might want to edit this, that's where i ended when i was looking for it

Even though my first hosting attempt on Amsterdam did not made it, everything seems to work properly again on France and Amsterdam !

With much thanks,

cant connect any game since today.
using wc3connect

The service looks alright at this time just checked it.

[Archimonde666]

From tonight the problem seem to have reappeared @uakf.b :
-Europe hosting service (Amsterdam and France) looks down, sometime the game makes her way through the queue but never gets hosted.
-I tried Montreal a few time and it looks also down

@Archimonde666 thanks, it looks like the whole thing crashed, the only reason people are still able to play is because of backup server. I guess the backup works well. But it should be back up now. I will add some better monitoring.

[Archimonde666]

Lovely, i tested it yesterday and everything looks fine again ! =]

Thank you for getting the service back up from the backup and backing it up with some backup monitoring
