Gamespy Down

Post by Monkey »

No servers are coming up with the usual search for internet games. People can still connect to NS4 through their history or a Direct Connect.

Any news on what's behind this?

Hard for new people to stumble upon our realm with the GameSpy link not working.

I did some looking around. Gamespy has new owners, that happened a few months back. They dropped services on titles that don't have publisher support recently, and there's not much chance of it being brought back (it's quite a pile of games). This is shady, but the Americans here will understand.

Can probably mod the server to post elsewhere while keeping xfire (which is still up, but omigod crapware), but have only seen auth server projects ready to go (that went down and we didn't care). Wouldn't be possible to do something that works with standard nwn install without gamespy cooperation.

Hello
I saw this link. Wondering if NS planned to be part of this.

Don't know yet. Does it pull from Vivasant's or Skywing's projects?

Waiting on a few things still. Holidays, etc...it'll take some time.

Lacking new info.

There were still some bugs to work out and method to get everything working in game again needed to be made more painless. Someone wrote an updater for win on god knows what platform, lin would just be a one liner, Mac should be returned to your vendor with prejudice.

I saw NS4 and 3.5 listed there.

Would it make sense to put the direct connect (+ connect ns4.nsrealm.com) in the description? That way new peeps don't have to retype the address.
