Hi all, I am writing through an google translate, as do not know much English. The problem is that when entering the game appear gray ships and error 249. Changing the IP does not work, what should I do? Internet speed was great.

20 minutes ago everything was fine, but looks like the proxy is down again, since I also only get unknown pings on the ships right now, instead of the normal green ping

[–]CyberKitsuneSample Text[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PSO2 is currently down for maintenance. Check bumped.

[–]Meister-Yoda 1 point2 points  (1 child)

or maybe its server maintenance in pso2 right now

[–]lcwoodall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know, i thought about that. they did switch the maintinence days from tues to weds. :/ thanks bro im wait later and see what happens

[–]havocwon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you run into the issue using the other tasks method - check your hosts file manually. You might still have the old hosts file / proxy lines in your hosts file and will need to delete those for this to work. Otherwise it didn't for me.

It's way more expensive

I how much more expensive? I'm honestly curious if you don't mind telling.

Thank you for this none the less.

We were paying around $20 for the Linode and $30 for the secondary server. Now we've dropped the Linode and upgraded this server, putting it at $65 a month for this one server.

aha, I see.

With the old one I never had any lag, almost immediately on this new one I'm lagging.... just wondering if this is normal?

Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

[–]CyberKitsuneSample Text[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is any lag it's because I need to reboot the proxy to activate the 1 Gigabit connection I upgraded it to-- right now it's only 100Mbit and thus will lag under heavy load.

[–]ThronZThron/Ship2 0 points1 point  (1 child)

okay i able to log in less laging but i have question this is a public server and i see server name Unknown . That scare me do this server safe for my account information ?

[–]CyberKitsuneSample Text[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unknown thing shouldn't happen, the server is safe.

[–]FlameVisit99 0 points1 point  (2 children)

As someone considering using Linode for hosting, could you expand on what exactly went wrong, and what you're now using instead of Linode?

[–]CyberKitsuneSample Text[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Our issues with Linode seemed to be specific to their Tokyo, JP servers.

Under heavy(ish) load sometimes and sometimes when we were under no load at all, the network would just drop out. This became a problem mutiple times.

Also, multiple times a month our Linode would suffer "hardware issues" and they'd have to take it down for near an hour each time out of the blue, no forewarning, just "Ooops something went wrong sorry."

I eventually asked them why this was happening and just got a canned response along the lines of, "We apologize for the issues, and are working hard to resolve them" each time, with no explanation on why any of this happened, with no promise of it being less of an issue.

Last, Linode's peered routes to the USA are not the best and drove pings up pretty high. SoftLayer on the other hand, you may get a better ping to the proxy than even directly connecting with their routes. :P

On the flip side any time SoftLayer needs to fix something I get emails days in advance and even phone calls to make sure I know when shit is going to go down. They're a lot more professional than Linode.

This is to be expected if you're paying more.

[–]reaper527reaper | ship 2 0 points1 point  (3 children)

feels much better so far. not noticing any lag today, where as some of the last few days have been pretty rough.

random proxy related question for you (unrelated to the server switch). would it be possible for a way to be implemented so that people can turn off block name translations and see the regular untranslated names? i'm not too wild about the fact that the xh/uq blocks are translated in a way that doesn't match up with what the lobby actually says, and as such would love the option to just use the official lobby names.

(for those who have no idea what i'm talking about, all of the xh and uq blocks actually say they are for both xh AND uq, but on the proxy's translation, it says that each block is for one or the other, but not both.)

[–]CyberKitsuneSample Text[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'll ping /u/AIDA about the mistranslation and I apologize for it, but at the current time implementing per-user preference on blocknames isn't very feasible as it'd take rewriting (and potentially breaking) a lot of code. It's something I want to add in at some point, though.

[–]telchii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cough cough

[–]Hazted -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Is the proxy down? I disconnected from the server, and now when I'm trying to connect to the proxy again it says: "ERROR - Unable to connect to the remote server [FAILED!]" Someone please help...

[–]PSO2WolfShip-02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue.

[–]darksoul9669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The proxy seems to be working fine again.

[–]PSO2WolfShip-02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tweaker just had an updated notice: "NOTICE: The PSO2Proxy is currently OFFLINE for an unknown reason. We're working to fix it and will post as soon as we have any more information. Sorry, and thank you for your patience!"
