ProfitUI Updater Connect Failure - Page 2

Well I guess it's obvious what happened, everybody tried to get their hands on the files at the same time and the server couldn't handle it. The userbase has just become a little too big. Eq2interface.com seemed to have the same issue for a while.

PS: Or Kaldran just pulled the plug before going to bed like he does every night so dragowulf can't get the updates.

Actually it is not that obvious. It _could_ have run out of memory on the initial burst of connections, but then it usually just drops connections randomly and floods the error log. Since it is not running a stable version anyway, I would call this a random crash. I did benchmark it several times before it went live and it can handle a lot more connections than now (around factor 15 to 20).

I also get status reports every morning. Today they came in way too late. Guess something went wrong while rotating log files. Cant check that right now since I an at work and cannot access the internet from my place...

Well in that case I guess it was just bad timing. But also we never before had so many connections on the server in such a short time. By far.

And re your last sentence: welcome to my world, hehe.

So should I continue to sit here and keep trying the updater over and over or does it not work?

I already deleted the files, etc. per a previous post but still can't access in game mail, HP/PP bar, etc.

They updater server is up and running again since this morning, you can use the updater just fine. Alternatively you can always get the manual download from this site.
