13/July/2011 Online questions & answers
- CONNECTION PROBLEMS IN ONLINE? Server's hosting provider has been working to solve a rare issue with connection drops in their network. It should be already solved, I've been able to keep a connection during about 10 hours with zero disconnections. However, I'm working on a resume feature in case the connection with the server is lost, so nothing interrupts your online experience even if the network connection is not stable (for instance if playing using a GPRS/3G data network). Please drop me an email if you're still experiencing frequent connection problems to try to determine the cause.
- FEW USERS IN ONLINE? It depends on the time, the peak is usually at 20:00 UTC/GMT (16:00 EDT) due to the large European user base. During the day it's easy to find a match in less than a minute or two at most. Also note that the looking for players screen displays the connection count, but it does not mean all the connected users are available or looking for a match in that moment (they could be playing or in the end of a game).
PLEASE RATE and comment if you like this implementation to support it or email me if there is anything wrong. Thanks!
