Possible redirect problems.
Posted: Tue 27. Jan 2015, 19:29
We've just got an email from our redirect server host informing us that they have been on the receiving end of several DDOS attacks over the last 48 hours. They've put in place a backup system so that if the network is overloaded this backup system will kick in, however there may be a short delay before this happens.
These attacks are not directed at us, but they can still affect us. You will know when this is happening if you are joining the server or changing maps and any maps, textures, static meshes or any other files are downloading incredibly slowly. You can get round this by either by extracting the files from your cache or downloading the CEONSS map pack.
UTCacheExtractor
CEONSS map pack
See here for instructions on how to use the cache extractor. The map pack can be simply extracted into your UT2004 folder using a program such as 7zip.
