Is The Lobby Down?

[James Johnson]

is it me or is it down?

[Jarrod Crossley]

Yes lobby is down as so it the chat lobby. But if by any chance you bookmarked the Race Department servers you cna still get on them that way.

nah redid profiles needed to but kept setups

If you have problems that you cannot get a server list in multiplayer, it is maybe possible that the following setting has changed:

Default (Correct setting):

Disable NetComm="0" // If 1, network features are disabled

So maybe your setting was at "1" which is wrong! You can find this line in your PLR file of your gameprofile.

dont think so since i check it all the time

I`ve read that TSF is working on SimStatLive and the system that is beeing used for it. It can also affect the Lobby I think because every client connects to a centralserver which serves the Lobby information and if SimStatsLive is hosted on it too then problems may occur.

It pops on and off today. Sometimes there's a list, sometimes there is not.

The game tells you that the Matchmaking system is down. That means that the game will not/cannot get a serverlist prepared. All the server are still up, it's just harder to find them.

I had it several times i had to recreate a new profile, it's in the faq i think, it is a known bug.

And as you can see guys:

http://www.simstatslive.com/

Has now a Welcome Page only which means, they are working on it and so. So I expect more downtimes coming probably.

simstatslive was the problem they was updating stuff on it and it kept brining lobby down with it so they turned it off so when they update it, it wont bring the whole lobby down.
