Author | Load error |
Great, after reading this topic this morning I now have the same problem when I tried to log-in again, no pictures on the log-in page (but I can still log-in by guessing where the button is etc.) and once logged-in no pictures for clans, logos etc but texts are still there. I can still enroll but I don't think I will bother fighting yet.
:( |
A friend told me he's having no issues at all. I've asked him, his version of flash, he answered "10.1.0", maybe worth a try? |
Try doing this copy paste the battle link <something like www.lordswm....> into a new fresh tab it worked for me almost every time now my flash is working as it should =] it loads normally |
If its not loading in .com then try .ru... :) |
From post 20,
with auto battles, more battles will occur, and with more battles, will consume more of server performance, which doesn't make sense if they're having problems, to overload with something else that only will make it critical,
I dont think so friend... As far as i know, Auto-Battles wont consume that much server performance... If it happens so, they might not have given us during the past DDOS attack... Since it is fully AI controlled, it should consume less efficiency + Time(An important factor)...
And i dont get any sense in discussing this topic unless we get a clear cut explanation from the Admin team ! :) |
mine loading fine |
@25
While a normal battle could take more than 1 hour, a auto battle take something around 20 minutes, which means there's be more battles, with more battles, will consume more resources to make it stable.
This event just ended, and the flash icons looks much better. If we had the opposite, it won't happen, will get worse instead. |
My guess is the DNS issue. It seems to me that the name dcdn1, dcdn2, and dcdn3 are from time to time un-resolvable. Could that be some issue in internet service provider? That might explain that VPN solves the problem. I have not clue why it happens to only a small portion of players. Now I can't see the map, let alone doing anything else. I only tried FF and IE, on a few computers at home, for .com or .ru. All the same behavior. I don't know what to do. |
Maybe the problem is regional? |
Yesterday was fine for me but now i can't do battle because of loading errors... i hope that admins will fix this soon. |
Apparently there's a problem with either Flash, or the game servers themselves.
At the moment, nothing can be done, since the problem has not yet been detected.
At any time, either Flash will start to render properly, or the servers will correct the problem (Traffic management, graphics, etc.)
Unfortunately, all that can be done is "wait for it".
Extremely sorry for the inconvenience. |
I ' ve lost 1 battle because of the loading problem |
Ok, I think I dug deep enough to see the problem (at least for me).
When I ping the lords.com website, I got response from 178.248.235.15. That's fine. But when I tried to ping dcdn.lords.com or any of the dcdn1,2,3, I got back ip address as 67.215.65.145, which is wrong! Google shows this is the ip of a DNS server in California, which is very likely the domain server of my ISP. Somehow my ISP's DNS and/or google's DNS (8.8.8.8) cached this incorrect ip. I did all I know (which is very little) to clean my side (flushdns, restarting PC, booting the router, etc) No help. Eventually I had to edit the hosts file to manually point the dcdn group to the 151.236.xx.xx. The last two sections changes as I was editing the file. So I am not sure how long this can be true for me. It solved my problem. All the images and flash loads.
I have no clue how this came to be a problem. And this is definitely not the proper fix. But for now I am good with it. Until the DNS issue is gone... |
It's probably one of those things, the more you try to fix, more things will become unfixed and bigger the list for fixes will become.
Well, it will take some time for sure. =) |
Latest and important news, please read:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=2152358 |
The server has been located, its support is now online.
This problem should be resolved completely today (server time). |
We still seem to need more feedback.
Please post in the topic linked by lord Syrian, or message me with pings and traceroutes of dcdn.lordswm.com |
Thanks for the info guys. =)
This problem is going to be solved, much faster than I though. |
I noticed my ping for dcdn return proper ip about 24 hours ago. So now the host entries on my computer are removed. I guess I don't need to post the ping and tracert. |
Well, trace route still return the wrong one from time to time... I am not sure what's the problem. Results copied to Arctic. |
