MARCH 24th - LOBBY SERVER UPGRADE

[Bram Hengeveld]

As seen on RSC:

In the next few hours the Lobby Server is being upgraded to 8GB of RAM to stop the timeouts and lobby issues we have had.

They will turn it off and install new ram. This means the lobby may shut down temporarily while they do so. It will not be long and when its back up it will be three times as strong as it was before.

ASR has been really pushing the lobby code to its limits, not a bad thing, we just need to accommodate for the concurrent connections and this is step one of that process.

We apologize for any inconvenience and will make the upgrade happen as fast as possible as to not take to much time away from the racing. They said it usually is off for less then an hour for this upgrade.

Sound like the demand was bigger than they thought.
