TS3 + CSS [09/08/2014] Servers down?!

[GeneralZod2813]

awesome! played a little earlier today, feels nice having the servers back. tried for hours finding servers that would meet my wants, but not a single one was even half as great. felt strong withdrawal from css lol

got a question though... in gungame on gg_factory, has the bots always been able to see through the floor?

Yeah bots tend to be dirty filthy hackers on most GG maps Unfortunately, me and epsilon have a blast with it sometimes however ^^

[Giggity]

They only look through walls and floors etc once they've seen you. After they've seen you there's no escape!

[Lady BunBun]

no... this is worse. so im in spectate and i notice this bot stuck on a damn door. he got lose by backing off of it and deciding upon a different route. he is on the first floor of gg_factory. above him, a terrorist shot after a ct, this bot i was speccing just looked almost straight up and started shooting at the ceiling above him (which is the floor area closest to the 2nd floor doors of gg_factory). he had not seen him, only heard him, and you could see the name of the enemy bot he was aiming for, through the ceiling. so i specced another round, found out that all bots see you through that floor area there and fire after you if you make noise, by perfect aim. even runs over to that part and shoot, trying to walk closer to the enemy yet the enemy is above him on the 2nd floor
they dont do that on other maps.
just curious if this glitch can be fixed easily or if we should just let it be

It's common across all the servers really, just more so on GunGame as that is a notorious spot they usually get stuck at and the start 'walling'. If you were playing on Italy 24/7 or any other servers of ours they'd do the same. For instance, you could be on Italy and throw a smoke towards a bot, they'd still see you irregardless and kill you most likely, but because those servers are usually well-populated you don't notice as much.

Get 10 or more people on Gungame and Standard and it won't happen at all

The issue is due to the way the mapper has done the map. Many don't fill them in properly so the computer calculates the boys should be able to see through. Maps can be edited but it's a minor annoyance really.

[O_Epsilon_O]

Dunno if its just me or not, but since the servers have came back the bullet reg has been awful

But I'm glad they're back. I can finally play Italy now

If it's been this evening - I'm setting up backup stuff still. Will be a little dodgy for performance perhaps for another week or so at least. Got to get everything setup again and syncing properly.

So it's either me, that, or both

I'm just glad to see things back to normal. Huge thanks to the people who helped fix this very quickly

[Lady BunBun]

ah thanks for all that info guys and grandma i appreciate it

[Giggity]

Like I said in game yesterday to Epsilon, I really want to blame the reg but in reality it's just me.

As I've put on steam - this outage/issue is unrelated to the weekend. There was apparently a large DDoS making stuff slow last night and at the moment most game server providers down south are currently having major network issues - not down just mostly so - 80% packet loss or so. Just a case of waiting

EDIT: A lot of the UK is going tits up, never seen anything like this before. Is getting progressively worse and spreading. I've got loads of packet loss to bradford, leeds and macnhester from sheffield now!

typical lol, I get my internet back up and running and just start getting back into playing CSS again to try and complete my introduction and this happens lol mabie its a sign hahahaha

[MrYellow]

That is all I can say about the size of the effects. Must be a massive massive DDoS if it's having such an effect on the internet connection throughout the UK!
