[Solved]Server down? STOP! Read this first.

[001]

Servers are closed due to the fixing textures problems of players.

Atleast 3 Admins told me it was a DDoS.

What is the expected re-opening time?

Equalizer, i could agree (or not...), when servers are closed, everyone say "Fùçqueyng DDOS!" or "oh nooooooo! DDOS again", i saw on Help Center that people have much trouble this days about textures, so i think that some admins are fixing it while its closed ...

What? Those issues have nothing to do with the server.
The ones missing materials are people who, gee, I dunno, are missing materials.

The invisible players is a bug that happens now and then to clients in garrsymod. It has nothing to do with the server.

Here:

Spoiler :

===========================================
Known Reasons:
===========================================

DDoS:

A DDoS or Distributed-Denial-of-Service attack is when the server is flooded with multiple packets of data from multiple servers from around the world which can range anywhere from 100 all the way up to 30k+. When this happens the server network line becomes filled with incoming data and causes the server to lag and eventually stop responding to players data requests in the server, thus causing you to lag and eventually disconnect. A sign of a DDoS is when your ping jumps well about the average and soars into the 600+ range.

Hardware Issues:

It has become aware that the server has had hardware issues before and the current status on it is not truly know at this moment, so for the time being this can be a possibility. ~more info to come~


Bad Bootup:

A bad bootup, is when the servers have crashed and when they auto re-boot. One of the servers then encounters a problem causing them to appear offline by jumping onto the wrong port, this is a simple fix but not many people know that this happens. If this happens, I will post the new port for the server so that players can still play if no one is around to fix it rightaway.

Offline:

Soulripper has decided to place the machine offline for one reason or another, the reason will be included if I ever place this as the servers status. EX. CityRP-V2D: Offline (* Transferring to a new hosting machine*)

Technical Problem:

There is no true explanation for the servers having problems, or a reason cannot be disclosed.

what about ddos protection? I know its expensive, but heres alot of donators, and I dont know if there is anything left after paying for the server bill, but if there is a small amount left, it should be saved for DDoS protection

[StillAlive]

Bans are currently not working which is why the servers are offline.

We apoligize for the inconvenience.

[Adman]

Any idea as to when the problem will be fixed?

[Danielw12cool]

So if i donate will i not have the Donator Status or something?

[Knight]

Both seem to be down. Build is up though.

Greetings from GMTower, we've both got the same ddos'er... it's some guy on twitter called Derp.Trolling without the "." , Sadly i cant post a link on here. I have already reported his twitter account but twitter hasn't got back to me yet :/ anywho, this guy seems to be ddosing all the popular gmod servers on request ( probably banned people ) i hope he gets arrested.
