Server Renaming

written by Mucht

Hi there,

the last days, we had a lot of brainstorming going on. The first step was the redefinition of the membership-process. You are now very much encouraged to contribute blogposts and wiki-edits to suggest yourself as an upcoming member. Furthermore, the status of an aspirant is history.

After some other debates, we decided to rename our servers. The goal was to emphasize the purpose of a server:
Sandbox Server will be renamed to #openttdcoop – The Public Server
Main Server will be renamed to #openttdcoop – The Member Zone

Renamings will start tomorrow!

Sandbox de-syncs

written by Osai

Maybe you have noticed the problems at the sandbox these days. A lot of players are de-syncing randomly. Mostly the problem occurs right after joining and after trys it works, sometimes players de-sync after some month or later though. Anyway we are almost done with the current Sandbox game. A bit of jam fixing is needed.

The good news is, the devs of openttd are still over this problem and hopefully they will release a bugfix soon. As far as I have followed the discussions its a random bits problem again, or maybe something else.

Please don’t be discouraged by those problems, we will update the server as soon as possible.

Update:
The problems seem to be found (not fixed yet). Have a look at the interesting article at TrueLights Blog.
Thank you openttd devs for making our life easier again. 🙂
