Route Loading Stall's - Going to Offline Mode

Post by wacampbell »

Just in the last hour or so ( 7:10 PM, December 31, 2013 (GMT) ) I think I am experiencing connection problems to RSC's advert server. Route loading stalls for several minutes at the point where the advert's normally appear, eventually displaying the 'offline mode' image and finally continuing on normally. Its happening for all routes. I know I am not 'offline' since marketplace etc all appear normally.

Is this happening for anyone else, or is it must me. Does anyone know what the url is of RSC's advert server - I'd like to ping it and see if I can troubleshoot the connection problem.

Been experiencing problems all evening along the lines you describe. Also, computer hanging completely when I tried to see Rankings needing a hard computer reset which I hate doing. I don't know why I look really, always 900 something and 124th place.

I'll come back tomorrow.

I have been seeing this too. I am deffo online with Steam. Not affecting the game other than a short hang whilst loading a scenario.

Will see what happens, glad it's not just me 8) .

Kindest Regards,

Thanks for the info :D
Glad it's not my fault , I'd only just swapped over the entries in a route I'm working on to use a new custom Track Rule and since then I've had the same extended loading time problem !

IIRC it's connecting with "Flickr". Sometimes it goes slow and had about 6hrs downtime for upgrades a few weeks back. The lack of adverts / information shouldn't affect the scenario loading times by much though.. :)

Glad I am not the only one, I have been experiencing this all evening.

Kept checking my connection, thought it was me! Obviously not. :)

Cheers for the heads up guys,

Happy new year to you all. :drinking:
