Server outage Nov 11/12

Markus Heinsohn · 11-12-2018, 05:14 AM

Update, 9:08 AM ET:
The servers with the new league files (after promotion / demotion) are now starting back up. Within 30 minutes all servers should be running again and all new league files available for download!

Hey guys,

unfortunately, right at the time when the playoffs were about to end, our provider for the league file server had a technical issue, which resulted in the league files not being available. That was exceptionally bad timing, and we hope this will never happen again. It's good we're still in beta

Anyway, we are now preparing the promotion to the next level. The new league files will be available in an hour or two.

In the future, after playoffs have finished, you will be able to check out the file with the final results until two hours before the new season starts on Monday (so about until 8 AM ET). After that, the server will prepare the new leagues and the next league download will be the new one. We will add the ability to access finished leagues (in order to check stats etc.) in a future update or in OOTP 20, depending on how difficult this is. We'll keep you posted

Cheers,
Markus

How much time will we have to check it out before the next season starts?

Looks like 22 minutes

Would think at least a DAY to get new packs, bid on players would be much more fair

I agree timing wise, playoffs don't end until late sunday and the new season start Monday morning. Even if there is no server downtime (which is what happened here, beta things) you can end up where you have your playoff strategy and playoff roster set to hopefully win a world series and then you have to go to bed and then won't have time to adjust it for the new season until Monday evening/night. So you just have to hope your niche and super specific strategy doesn't bone you for the month of April.

I'd be a strong opponent of a day off between seasons, as if you aren't in playoffs you've already had a day sitting around doing nothing.

I think a better option would be to have a screen to set up roster/strategy for the playoffs.

All is up & running again.

By the way, the timing will remain as it is, as currently Sunday is indeed quite for most users (as 2/3 of teams will miss the playoffs).
