Site Downtime
We have just had a serious issue resulting in significant site downtime.
It has only been possible to roll back to a previously saved version of the database which means people may have had to take the same turn again, apologies for the inconvenience.
Time has been added to turns for this period.
There are still a number of large issues to be resolved.
If you have an issue please post in Bug Reports

Re: Site Downtime
Thanks for your hard work, ChipV, others who helped, and BigWham, too.
TeeGee said in the mChat (soon after CC came back ON) that the site was hacked, and that it is safe now.
Those reassuring and informative messages from TeeGee are appreciated. Thanks to TeeGee for letting us know via that mode.

Re: Site Downtime
So does this mean that the site will not be returned to where it was on 1/2 around 2 pm, PST? Too bad if that is the case. Playing in 1 game where an additional player had been eliminated and had the other player down to 13 troops with me having over 90.

Unfortunately the site could only be restored to the last available full backup.NorthmanII wrote: Sat Jan 03, 2026 7:27 pm So does this mean that the site will not be returned to where it was on 1/2 around 2 pm, PST?

Re: Site Downtime
Thankfully I don't have alot of the games at the moment but the ones I do are barely playable... tons of time outs and various other oddities.. perhaps just take the whole thing down till its fully ready?
Anyhow - appreciate whomever is trying to fix it but I'm finding it extremely frustrating to use in its current state.

Re: Site Downtime
What's going on with joining games? Are there plans to extend BRs with the issues by chance?

Re: Site Downtime
Earlier today I was able to join my games but not start any of my turns or chat. Now I am unable to join my games. After loading for about 15 secounds I get this message, "Gateway Timeout: The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application."

Re: Site Downtime
I am having issues with ending games. Takes at least 3 reloads to end game. Also seems 24 hr clock is sort of screwed up. I know I played my last game mid morning yesterday and had no games left to play and this morning I needed to play by 6:00 a.m. Thanks for help. Sorry about the issues.
EDIT: This issue seems to have abated since I reported it earlier this morning.

Re: Site Downtime
There are problems with the Beta System. The games from "Alpha" were duplicated on the Beta, but that's not a big deal. However I was playing some scenarios there (and working on several other scenarios) and now almost all of them have disappeared.

Game finder doesn't work.

Re: Site Downtime Effects
Our current avatars were replaced by the old ones during the recent refurbishing and now there is no "Upload avatar" button to use to restore the current avatars.

Re: Site Downtime
The new maximum size of 100 x 100 pixels is too limiting. An avatar that small has almost no detail. Can't it be more like 150 x 150?
Re: Site Downtime
Some games are really laggy and need several reloads for it to work. Happening since the reset. More people having this issue?

Re: Site Downtime
I've seen several players say this, ThaHunter. I think it's universal within CC. Sometimes my game freezes completely when I'm ending a turn and I have to press Ctrl and F5 to continue.
Re: Site Downtime
I was in a game and unable to deploy any troops because of lag. Tried numerous times with refresh, screen refresh, log out and back in, etc. I just decided to log out and return in a while.
I came back to a message saying that I have timed out and missed my turn.
Is there any resolution to this?

Re: Site Downtime
I often play games on the Beta System. I have also created many scenarios, some of which were accepted as Alpha. Ever since the recent downtime, all of my scenario "works in progress" have disappeared.
Can those scenarios be recovered? The same thing happened several months ago, and they were successfully restored.

Re: Site Downtime
Unfortunately due to circumstances, I don't think they can be this time round, but bigWham is the only one who can really answer this, maybe send him a private message.Vlasov wrote: Mon Jan 12, 2026 9:06 am I often play games on the Beta System.

Re: Site Downtime
Has the "game finder" been fixed yet? I reported it not working 6 days ago and it still doesn't work. After clicking on "game finder" to search for games with criteria I select, all I continue to get is an icon going around in circles, like the page is trying to load, but does not.

Re: Site Downtime
Today large classic map does not show anything but the circles with the troop amounts. Small map seems fine. Will send bug report but just in case anyone else is having that problem thought Id post here too.
