Hi guys,

I convinced two colleagues to play ren x and they love it, but a lot of times its still impossbible to join a game.

The servers are there, the latest version installed, good internet connection, but nothing happens when clicking "join server". Also when refreshing the servers show up pretty filled, all good, but nothing happens when trying to join a server. Also when entering a server through the launcher it just loads to renegade x main menu, thats it.

Is this a regular thing?

yo!

This usually happens when servers are getting attacked by DDOS. server shows the last amount of players before the attack started but it's actually empty and you can't connect to it.

This problem will go away when we can find a solution for the DDOS attacks

Say what

So....how can we find a solution for it? Do the DDOS happen often?

I remember like a year ago the attacks also happened...KANE is mad?

It's been happening a lot recently. i don't know the exact reason but the only solution is better DDOS protected servers and they're expensive

And most DDOS protected server providers (like OVH for example) just null root the IP when the attack is big enough. in other words they disconnect the server from the network so the attack can't harm it but they won't actually tank all of it. that's why the server goes down in the case of a DDOS attack anyway

In short there's no solution T.T

Maybe we can do a crowdfunding to get a better protected server, or solution? How much do we need?

The community seems strong enough these days :-)
