DNS issues

Post by Laanders » Nov 18th 2014 08:40

We're noticing that the DNS resolution of TR game servers appears to be having issues. Notably the servers were unreachable on their normal addresses between 03:20 and 04:40 today. The same thing happened for a few minutes a short while ago, at 09:20, and most likely also last night around 22:10. It should be noted that it is only the name based resolution of the servers that has been down; the servers themselves have continued to run as normal.

We have no indication of whether these troubles may continue. If they do, and if anyone feels comfortable doing so, they may work around the DNS resolution by adding the following lines to their local system's hosts file - /etc/hosts on Linux and OS X, C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows. This will bypass the quirky DNS and access the game servers directly based on IP.

Code: Select all

144.76.63.4	arch.the-reincarnation.com
144.76.63.4	guildwar.the-reincarnation.com
144.76.63.4	blitz.the-reincarnation.com
144.76.63.4	solo.the-reincarnation.com
188.40.135.245	beta.the-reincarnation.com
61.66.29.50	lightning.the-reincarnation.com
Please note that this is entirely on your own risk.
