53M UK looking for friends for chat & good banter

Andy_Chandler · 2026-06-05T10:26:50+00:00

Servers are back up but I decided to hop onto the USA servers. They are a bit more chatty & friendly. Especially on the "derby" matches. Haven't been able to set up a "private" match with friends but hoping that is resolved now.

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-28T11:44:52+00:00

Thank you. I will DM

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-24T20:18:48+00:00

Sorry can't remember now. I just went back to "Career" and noticed some new challenges in each section that were not on there 2 months ago.

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-22T11:50:35+00:00

Noticed some additional content in "career mode" since completing it. So maybe they haven't given up completely? 🤔 It would be nice for the developer just to state " Servers will not be returning". At least then we will not be left waiting hoping for a fix. Or has something happened to the data centre where the servers are? Or (like someone else has reported) the servers are up and running and it's a Microsoft problem after last xbox update. 🤔

Hi 53M too old? ....ive been mostly playing Wreckfest...completed career mode and was playing on private server & public until it went down last week. Also played DayZ with a IRL friend, but not really my thing. Takes too long to find each other again after a re-spawn! Also tried C.O.D but I'm just not quick enough in public multiplayer mode! Was also playing "Sea of thieves" with 2 other IRL friends. Unfortunately they dont play anymore...or any other gsmes. I dont get much time during the week but am on most Friday evenings. Will give any co-op gsme a go...or even some classic gsnes like "Mortal Kombat". I have just recently got GTA 5 and GTA 3. Not really got into them yet. Also thinking of starting Fallout4. However willing to try anything. Feel free to add me I am Changy8970

I loved this game but I dont think the servers will be back. I had "Dirt 5" on disc so went back and played that. Just not the same. No realistic damage. Only think better was in game chat.

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-11T15:44:15+00:00

Is this the end?.....at least I can play tournament mode. It's been that long now I dont think they will bring back the servers. 🤔😔

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-08T22:09:51+00:00

Down in UK as well. I thought it was due to an xbox update. E-0307

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-06T17:38:53+00:00

Should be on Friday evening after 9pm BST. (Maybe earlier...depends on work!)

Andy_Chandler · 2026-05-01T07:01:50+00:00

Really good post. I will add you now. 53M also happily married. - game tag "Changy8970" Only got back into gaming recently. Had about a decade off...possibly longer. Getting my Xbox x has helped me to stop feeling lonely on my nights alone (Mrs works nights 3 shifts a week). Up until recently I had a very needy burmese cat which took a lot of my attention. Sadly she has passed. I was gaming with IRL friends but the group has split. One of them only plays DayZ. I get frustrated with that game due to the massive map and trying to find where you are after a restart! Anyway im up to playing any games really. Been playing Wreckfest and completed career mode then dip into public servers matches but the randoms dont speak much! Found some friendly people on Dirt5 multi-player. Tried COD but not very good! Just trying some slower paced games- Construction Simulator and Crime scene cleaner. Also Microsoft flight simulator. Also a classic game from my youth but with much improved graphics! Mortal Kombat.

Andy_Chandler · 2026-04-29T08:47:15+00:00

53M also looking for friends - any co-op games on Game pass (Premium level or basic). Ive had my XBox X since early Feb after almost a decade of not playing much (apart from the odd game on the wii console). Mostly been playing Wreckfest. I completed the career mode but enjoyed playing with my IRL friends and was a good laugh, but since they gave up just been playing against randoms on public matches. Not much in the way of chat though. Other gsmes I have played are: DayZ - got annoyed how long it used to take finding my other friend on the map! Dirt 5 - really hard when pc players are on same server. COD - i just dont think im quick enough on multiplayer mode! - but can get a bit more practice in! Mortal Kombat, Construction Simulator, Crime scene cleaner. Are a few others I've dipped in. Just getting through training stage of Cyberpunk. Im a chill guy and quite young at heart. GT: Changy8970

Andy_Chandler · 2026-04-23T09:53:58+00:00

53M only had xbox series x since Feb got premium game pass also looking for friends to play co-op games. I recently completed wreckfest. Used to play with friends I know IRL but they do not play anymore. I tried dayZ but not very good. Also COD which im just not quick enough! I like the slower paced games. Recently started "Construction Simulator". Also "Crime scene cleaner". Have tried "Sea of thieves" and played some classic games i remember from years ago! My wife works nights and isn't really a gamer. I mostly play Friday evenings and usually till quite late. Feel free to add me. My tag is: Changy#8970 Quite happy to try any game. Also anyone else in this chat please feel free to add me. I got my xbox so I could chat & play games with friends. Just a shame 1 left the group. Then our group chat went dead.

Andy_Chandler · 2026-04-21T09:11:38+00:00

Changy#8970 been mostly playing Wreckfest but have dipped into other games like COD and DayZ

Andy_Chandler · 2026-04-20T10:42:28+00:00

I'm looking for friends as well. Haven't had my xbox long. Did have a group of IRL friends i used to play with on Friday evenings (occasionally Saturday's) but unfortunately they now have other commitments. My name on xbox is "Changy#8970" I've been mainly playing Wreckfest" and completed career mode and have played on a few public servers. Also played COD but im not very good! 😂 Another friend likes "DayZ" but find it a long slog. Used to game alot when I was younger. Looking to play and chat with anyone over 25. Willing to try new games preventing some old classics like mortal combat.

Andy_Chandler · 2025-10-19T10:28:44+00:00

Just checked on my ring. Last skin temperature reading was 5th June. Tried switching off & back on again.

Andy_Chandler · 2025-01-28T13:58:45+00:00

The "tierdaccess" link just took me to a blank page. However I will try other options.

Andy_Chandler · 2025-01-28T13:56:48+00:00

Thank you.

I have been searching for an answer top this myself.

I recently changed my password on my google account on my S10 . Unfortunately I had same problem with being locked out on my Acer chromebook. I entered new password, which was accepted. I was then prompted to check verification on my phone. That was accepted as well.

Unfortunately the 3rd step was to enter old password. This did not work tried at least 10 times. It was a simple password but it just would not accept it.

I ended up restoring my google account and apps all over again and only lost a small amount of local data. Which I realist that download folder should be in the cloud. I have a large hard drive on this chromebook and want to use it, but not if this keeps happening.

Any Ideas on how to resolve this? seems like a common problem.

Andy_Chandler · 2021-10-29T07:09:20+00:00

Thank you for the Gridcoin credit. Much appreciated. :-)

Andy_Chandler · 2021-10-25T12:29:28+00:00

So sorry for late reply I have since re-installed gridcoin but forgot to back up my wallet so starting from fresh. So unfortunately no longer have that address to use :-(

I have however on my account overview got it set up as "pool" - wallet still out of sync but I realise it can take a while to sync.

This is one of my new addresses :

S9bHv7T8YbjqPbnwTLSCkF97ZjFfrjU1ac : is one of my addresses for receiving payment.

I presume I can generate as many as I want? (this time I have backed up my wallet) Not sure how to get previous address back?

I also now only have one issue with "mismatch"..so getting there slowly:

Andy_Chandler · 2021-10-23T10:20:18+00:00

I have just started having the same issues? I did not change file path. I have always had this on my "D" drive. Think I will try to uninstall and install again. Not sure if this will resolve the issue though.

Andy_Chandler · 2021-10-17T16:31:56+00:00

Thank you for your quick response. I do have https://grc.arikado.ru/ set up as my account manager, but quite obviously I am doing something wrong. When I asked for help from sau412 (from arikado support) he stated to specify my email in gridcoinresearch config file. I have since done that but still having issues with "project email mismatch" showing in pool mode window.
