I was playing on the server with no issues earlier this morning. Then, I went to play some other games for a while.
When I cam back (around 12), I couldn't conenct to the server, the error was: 'Client disconencted by server'.
I played reverse gungame for a while (great idea btw), then when I looked again for the normal server, it had disappeared from the list.
Any ideas what is causing this?

this is to do with the attack on the box, the network has been unjammed after the attack. i have managed to disconnect the attacker again and am waiting for the network people at wireplay to confirm they cant do this again.
They basically attack themselves to all the directx ports which players would connect on.
i hope the attack is now over after 12 hours but please read the main server thread for any updates.

I think they are at it again.
The server was lagging really badly, so I, along with almost everyone left. I tried to get on again a few minutes later and got the same error as before.

EDIT: I can get on it now, but the severe lag remains.

all is ok now.
they had a go from another ip which is now banned + the hack they used to connect to so many ports has an anti-mod plugin which is now installed so i hope this will now stop it

Might be unrelated, but I am getting the same error again.
This time it was at the end of the round, the server wasn't changing level, so I disconnected, but then couldn't reconnect.
I didnt notice any lag, so like I said, it could be unrelated.

I think it is happening again, the horrible lag is back for everyone.

It would seem that just banning their IP isn't working as they are almost certainly using a dynamic IP, a VPN and a proxy.
Are they still using the same exploit, or are they doing a more traditional DDoS? It does seem that they are going to quite a bit of effort just because they were bannded from a server.
If you haven't already, you could report them to their ISP's and to Steam.

Weed - if you read the main serve topic - we now have a plugin in place to prevent this.

Please do not take it on yourself to do anything, attacks are now stopped and reported.
The new Wireplay network should stop this being possible after April, we have protected the server from port attacks and also server kill commands in game.
Its a definite learning curve with this attack and now we can use what we learned to protect them all from now on.

Lets hope we can just fill the servers again and move on.

Any reports of retaliation will be taken seriously and you could face a permenant ban from Wireplay servers and competitions as well as it being illegal.

I spent so much time over the last 4 days cleaning this up that i would prefer it wasnt ressurected and they start all over again with something new.

cheers
