Database Outage

[pacifist]

Yes the database was down for a good few hours.

We were having our host upgrading the server. Apparently something went wrong and, it being a Saturday, getting it fixed wasn't THE easiest thing in the world.

But it's back now and hopefully we'll get the advantages of the upgrade without any more outages for the rest of the weekend.

So what are the advantages of the upgrade?

Glad to see its back up and running. I noticed some lagging the last few days before so hopefully this squashes that. Growing pains are the best kind.

Well the server not dying would be good.

We're basically just trying to keep up with the database requests. Every time you browse, save, or load designs there's a trip to the database. And there are alot of trips to the database going on right now.

I was hoping this would get rid of the lagging as well but it seems like it's still with us. Perhapse another round of upgrades is in order. The game itself could be handling the stress more gracefully (i.e. loading messages and no 'infinite bubbles'). Mabey tomorrow I'll get the chance to implement some of that.

It was fixed back in July. You probably don't want to be bringing up old threads like this.
