Statement on novalogic site

[hawk]

Novalogic gave this very small statement on there website www.novalogic.com

Important Notice! NovaWorld is undergoing a planned move of all online services. On-line play and NovaWorld Community is down right now. Service should be restored soon.

[Eradicate]

Yeah, it's actually been down since early Tuesday afternoon. Their corporate website was down until this morning.


Apparently when you try to host a server, it needs to connect in some way to the novaworld lobby. So, if you already have a server up, do NOT take it down or you won't be able to put it back up until Nova finally completes the transfer of their services. If I'm wrong about this, thief or Evolution can edit my post or make a correcting post as they'll be more informed about how BHD works than I do.

How long can they take for this omfg? One day was already annoying since we had matches planned but four cancels is just a pain. -.-

It's simple!

Novalogic only care about their profits and don't give a damn about the users.

matches are playable it just means hosting through lan and downloading hamachi.

[Eradicate]

ok I'm a complete novice but what is hamachi? lol

[daxos]

hmmm i wouldn't be running a vpn to play matches. Security and lag being the main two reasons.

I had this once, when I was playing some random game with some friends.

It's a program which simulate a local network. If you and your friends connect through Hamachi you would be able to to share local files etc, just like you all were on a LAN.

Correct me if I'm wrong

hamachi is far less laggy than hosting through the game itself tried and tested this about 3 yeras ago hamachi takes a more direct route it actually cuts ping times by half.

Actually a bit more secure than you suggest only share files that are preselected for sharing same with any network

[daxos]

its a vpn it encrypts the traffic therefore should be more laggy
