My games won't host..

[SoulxReaver]

More often than not, my games won't host.. I pick a map, I pub it, it tells me it's in queue, then says "Your game should now be hosted on yada yada"

But it doesn't!

I get that this service is free, but come on... why can't I just host a simple map to play? I just don't get it. Once ENT wasn't working on West for 2 months! It made me move to East!

Right now it's not working for me for East OR West.

My accounts are also confirmed here on ENT Link. It just does not make sense. Why can everyone else host but me?

It also seems that games have an even worse chance of hosting unless you put a random number on the end of it.

Edited at same time of your reply, sorry for that.

Atlanta location is still malfunctioning from DDoS attacks. It's going to be moved to Quebec soon, once some new IP addresses are provisioned.

[SoulxReaver]

Are you serious? There's a DDoS attack on Atlanta? Do they host for Oceanic? I'm in Australia. How long has this attack gone on for..?

It is over, but due to the size of the attack (which caused disruption to other clients on the server provider's network), one of the IP addresses in Atlanta location remains null routed.

Are you hosting in Australia location? It has not been affected.

[SoulxReaver]

Yes I am, and my games refuse to be pub'ed. No matter what I do.

[SoulxReaver]

I wish there was that !fix command some bot used to have.. as long as you could talk to it, it'd reset itself or something and let you !pub again..

No, you are trying to host on Atlanta location, not Australia. Try hosting in any location other than Atlanta.

[SoulxReaver]

How do you toggle that?

@SoulxReaver you can choose location when you hosting via our website, https://entgaming.net/link/host.php

[SoulxReaver]

No no I mean ingame, I use the /whisper feature.

[EdgeOfChaos]

Whisper !location to the bot, and it will give you a list of locations. Then type !location <location you want> and it will set it.

[SoulxReaver]

I wish that was on the hosting tips. Thank you a lot for this.. I think this should solve a lot of my problems. Thanks Edge, Bit, and.. of course... even though I hate ponies, uakf.b You're a cool pony. I'll send Agreements some hay to feed you if.. you eat that kind of stuff.

-- Now a happy ENT user, thank you staff and community.

@SoulxReaver

I thought the info was already there. We will include a line on wiki mentioning about hosting location options.
