Glad I’m not the only one who needs it before doing other work!
So…I can still only access the forums, and even that is only on occasion. Is there something I could do to at least access my stables every once in a while, or is this just still a known issue? I don’t mean to be pushy. I guess it’s just that after over a decade of playing, I seem to have become addicted. Getting antsy to get back into the game. >.<
You may want to manually set your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (this is Google’s DNS server). I did that this morning and now things are working as expected. It did take a couple minutes for things to work though after changing settings, so you might want to try clearing your cache as well.
You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’m in! Hoping it’ll stay that way this time. XD
I did what Cat’s suggested on my phone and can now access both the forum and my Stable via my mobile network however it has been intermittent. For example, I couldn’t view anything earlier today via 3G (we’re rural so can’t often pick up 4G) but this morning I could view stable details but not login/access the forum when connected to wi-fi. Now I can’t access either if I connect to wi-fi but can access both on 3G(on phone, I haven’t tried on my laptop for a couple of days). I assume things will settle over the next few days.
So I have been a little sad that I have had “Server Not Found” on Firefox for ages (has it been two weeks!?). I checked on my phone as well and couldn’t get on. However, today I thought to try chrome and I can get to the forum, but not to any stable pages. Suggestions?
Edit: I did the thing Cat said and it’s helped on Chrome. Still can’t get to the forum on Firefox.
Edit 2: And of course once I find the forum and write about it, it works again in Firefox too. Thanks again for all you do to make the game function!!
I’ve tweaked a thing that might help? I’m not sure why the DNS propagation/caching is being so slow…it’s rolled out most places, but persistently ignoring a few places (seems to be Europe ).
And Australia as well. Very hit and miss still. But with a bit of patience, I get on after a short wait. So not all bad.
Back in the game
Here in the US (PA) I can get to the forum but not to the main webpage. Cycled through pretty much all the DNS server options (https://www.techradar.com/news/best-dns-server) on this webpage with the same results.
I’m having a lot of issues getting on today as well, both the game and the forum. I haven’t been able to connect with my laptop but have been able to check a few things via mobile. Now I can’t connect with my phone but can only get on the forum via laptop.
I’ve been fiddling more with things, trying to get it consistent across all devices/locations. The (big) problem is that it takes 1-2 days for anything to really take effect so it can be wonky in the meantime.
I still have problems too. Sometimes I can’t get in at all either on my pc or my iPad. Sometimes I can get on the forum but not my stable. On several occasions I have been viewing a stable page ok then tried to go back to the previous one and it’s gone. If I try going forward to the page I just left that is also unavailable. I know I have 3 new foals this morning but have not been able to get to my stable page since then☹️
OK, I think now the DNS records should be matching everywhere. Again, it will take another 24 hours for things to propagage, but after that we should be good to go.
Just this minute got back on after trying for most of the day. used google, firefox and safari on samsung phone, PC and iPad. Hope I an finish naming my foals and enter some races:grin:
Out of curiosity, did it work on all 3 devices?
occasionally on all of them but all had at some point declared that the server was not found or the site did not exist. Used google and firefox on PC. google on phone and safari on iPad. This morning I have logged on with no problems on PC with both browsers and on Safari with iPad. No issues at all so far!
Yay! So glad to be back!
This is the first time I’ve been able to log in and access the site consistently.
Just used Safari to log on without problems. Looking like it’s mended
Thanks Shanthi it must have been driving you mad when it kept going wrong!
