Global-list

If i look here Online servers than WTS is visible.
Only not on active servers. But the server is 24/7 running.

I notice also that there are a lot of servers missing on the active list.
Maybe a problem at Cyrosphere?

@Hunterkiller:

Oh well, keeping a server available can be a pain sometimes.

Indeed
Only people who are crazy enough keeps it going

Since Tuesday of last week, I’ve had the same observation. Just today, I’ve added my IP to the Most Active Servers List and It still isn’t showing? As I’ve watched it, I’ve also noticed several other servers just dropping off like flies. One minute there’ll be 113 servers list then the next minute, 96, what’s really going on here?

My players are hitting me on every conceivable voice chat there is (that I have, 5) , and wanting to know what’s going on themself. Eventually, this will cause many players to leave my server and others and not come back.

This is really starting to get my dander up because, I’ve been listed there for over the past year and now this is happening as of 05-27-08. Is their a new server out the that is so jealous that they may have some sort of way to eliminate certain server that threaten their existance?

I did, however, have a confrontation with a Server Admin that joined my server and telling me to advertise his server on my console telling players to go to his server and to register on his forum. The sad part is, I helped the owner of that server set it up prior to his letting this Admin (name withheld atm) use it to put his Clans back out for them to continue to exist because he had lost his other server. Many of my players are dedicated tomy server and have been for the past year no matter what happens and the longest it’s ever been down was four days only a few months ago. Any other times just a few minutes or and hour or so due to normal maintainance/updates/upgrades. I have no problems with players going to other server but, they always come back. I even go to other servers just to be able to play Freelancer without having to answer questions from time to time. whew the life of a Server Admin, sigh

I have also had the problem with my server and equipment shutting down with no fault of my own or equipment? 14 hacker attempts in the past week but, my hacker software has prevented anything other than that from happening. Maybe it is just shutting all down to protect it because it boots back up without any complications. This is really bad especially, when players are on it.

My server usually has 2 players on it and any given moment throughout the day/night no matter what. So, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be listed and I do have a steady IP. It generally stays aroung # 30-33 on the 24hr and #24 on the 7 day, I’m satisfied with that buton many occassions it’s closer to the top.

24 hrs is not listing me but the 7days is and the server graph is as well.

Please try to find out what going on and post it for us. If anyone can, you guys can. My faith is in you.

Sorry, but there is no way I can ensure the stability of your server.

As of now, your server is not reachable, therefore it doesnt show in the ingame server window because - it is not reachable.

If you look at your servergraph here:
http://www.aa-flserver.de/flserverstat/getgraph_singlesrv.php?sig=0fa77fce-da5601a0-3c1b2432-fee92088

You will see that your server has been offline a few times. As long as your server has the same ip and is not offline for more than 7 days, it will never be delisted.

I’m no guru at this stuff, but usually simple things, screw things up .

Where you say you have had hacking attempts, you may check your firewall, and make sure your server is configured around your firewall. It also will help, if you say what kind of hacking attempts have been tried.

I believe w0dk4 is right, the server is on your end, so you have to figure out whats blocking it from your end., make sure you have the correct ports open.

Dont get concerned or paranoid about the most active server list. Cryo looks at it from time to time and updates it/changes it. He doesnt do it daily or weekly (its automated) and he is not subject to any peer pressure.
When I make a change i leave it a few weeks, and if its not picked up, drop him an email about, eventually it will be done.

OK, gotcha.

It’s just that I’ve not had this problem until last week and after your message to me from Hamburg, it was back on the list. Shortly after though, it went M.I.A. again. My IP is always the same and embedded in my brain.
Like I’ve said, it may not be as crowded as most but, it’s always go someone on it. When they all fill my PM up with, “Where’s the Server?” it gets to be annoying.

Thanks for your help.

I’ll re-check it but, I’m sure everything is set to accept the proper ports for it. I’ve been over it a dozen times as well lately.

I’m not the only one here that’s been facing hacker attempts, many others have told me they’ve experienced that same thing lately. I do believe, my security is set to shut everything down at the first sign of hackers to deter them from entering any further. I think I will check with Zone to see if that’s what causing it. Like i said, it all boots right back up as if it never happened?

Thanks again.

If it’s the case, not online, than i understand why it don’t show up.

But why does my server don’t show up in the list than to?
Look the last 7 days, the server is always running up.
It’s never down for one day!

And still not showing in the list.

Only on this one:
http://www.cryosphere.f2s.com/Freelancer/online-servers.php

I’ve sent an email to cyrosphere if they could ad it again. No answer and no show up.
Didn’t change the firewall.

Only changes i have done :

• add the zlib
• add the anti DDos
• install the new CD1.31

After this it didn’t show up anymore.
Don’t know if it has to do with one of those three changes.

I found that my security software had blocked many ports because of hacker intrusions and port 2302 was one of them. Now, each time Ioncross does an automaintainance, it blocks them again. I don’t understand this at all? After having this server up since March last year then, having to do a complete re-installation of everything, just in the past two weeks since the 27th of last month this has begun to take place.
I have watched, off and on, many servers appearing and then just dropping from the Active Servers List like flies., there has to be more to it.
Since this started, I have done at least 4 complete; virus,spyware,malware scans not to mention a full diagnostics test and defrag and even deleted many files and pictures/screns to ensure nothing else is causing this problem. Granted, all equipment seems to be running much smoother and I’ve regained more gigs but it still doesn’t explain why servers are dropping off the lists?

Could there be something going on in-between? I have a fixed IP and and in my firewall is set to accept UDP port 2302. That’s the main blocking now. All hacker attempts/locations and IPs have been forwarded to the proper authorities and seem to have been stopped for the time being. It’s the 2302 ports that are getting blocked.

It’s driving me crazy…

Active servers from cryosphere will drop servers where there stats are old or not upto date.
Each day (or thereabouts) it takes the data from your online player list that you submitted to flstat, if its not there it will drop you after a few days, then it will take a few more days before it re-lists you when you update it.
Keep in mind that flstat from cryosphere is driven by your stats uploading to the url (website)promptly and regularly (daily).

Whereas…
http://www.aa-flserver.de/flserverstat/getgraph_singlesrv.php?sig=0fa77fce-da5601a0-3c1b2432-fee92088 - is your actual server being online and taking players.
They are two totally seperate issues.

Hmm, i let CD arrange that.
Could it be possible that there is something wrong now? But my online list show the people who are in.
With the old one 1.30 it works fine.

But when i see my online list, it’s just there. Refreshing every ten min.

All updated every day.

It’s just a big mystery here and i didn’t even put a spell on!

Yeah I meant player rankings when im talking about flstat.
So your .htm page with the player rankings is what flstat needs to be able to reach to generate stats for your server
.
If you have submitted the forum post (your link above) to flstat which im guessing your using an iframe to show it, this wont do. Make sure that the submitted stats page to cryo is : http://the2ndweb.com/playerstats/playerstats.htm

Okay, thanks.
But i’m sure the submitted page is as it should be this one : http://the2ndweb.com/playerstats/playerstats.htm
The Iframe i make later and runs since Februari like this.

But i shall change it to the normal vieuw, maybe it helps.
Never shot = Always miss

Just to put your mind at rest, we were dropped by flstat last week, I think we’ll be back in there in a few days time.
