Server Outage (October 4th, 2025)

[Widower]

Okay, just to recap for those whose days haven't been consumed by this: VM3 went down around 3:15 Eastern. We spent a couple hours trying to see if we could prompt OVH to do something about it, which eventually succeeded. They replaced a CPU in the machine, but when Cipher went to reconnect it, IPMI wasn't working, so we ended up spending another three hours waiting for OVH to do something. It took them about two hours to replace the motherboard, RAM and CPU cooling system, but when Cipher went to reconnect it (yes, something of a pattern here) he found that some virtual disks were missing. Nothing mission critical, but still not good. Until we can figure out what's going on there, VM3 remains out of commission. Cipher set up VMs for Everlasting and Victory on one of the other hosts during one of the waits, so he's spinning those back up and is hoping to have them back up that way. If you were playing at the time of the initial crash, you shouldn't experience more than 17 minutes of rollback, and hopefully much less.

Thank you to the HC team for working to get this resolved ❤️

Everlasting and Victory are up on one of the other hosts. We'll keep working to bring the affected host back up, though the ball is largely in OVH's hands. Hopefully it's back up for Tuesday maintenance and we'll rearrange everything then. Shout if you notice anything awry. Otherwise, go, hunt, kill skuls.
