Great,

Thanks everyone for the feedback. We'll be pushing a lobby update shortly, and will announce when we're going to migrate to the new server. Hopefully it's going to be painless

I'll report back.

I made a post saying what I tested but when I pressed Submit it said the page doesn't exist because I was going to the other server instead of the current one...

Basicly it said everything worked (chat, all tabs, hosting game)

Just tried everything out and couldn't see anything wrong. Even played a game on the new server.

I used the new lobby with the new server (i.e. added the host file entries).

Aelous chat:
Unable to connect to the chat server, but you should still be able to host and join games.

Mumble
Server presented a certificate which failed verification.
The specific errors with this cert are:
1 - the host name did not match any of the valid hosts for the certificate
2 - the certificate is self signed and untrusted.

When I said I trusted the cert, mumble worked.

I was able to start a game fine.

I reverted to the original hosts file and played a team game fine.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Please remove forums.faforever.com from that hosts file list for the time being, as it redirects to an out-of-date version where we can't see this thread, or post effectively.

Hello there!

A few of us have been working on the transition of faf to the next era, under new management, and on new hardware. I'm looking for a few of you willing to test some stuff out.

1. New lobby version

We have the release candidate for version 0.10.122 of the lobby, which needs some field testing. The new version does not introduce any functional changes, but it has some changes incorporated that make it compatible with both the current and the new server. Get it on http://stable.faforever.com/FAForeverLobby-0.10.122.msi and see if it works for you just as version 121 does.

2. New server

Warning: following the instructions below may kill your dog, destroy your computer or light your grandma on fire. Only proceed if you know what you're doing.

Once you've installed version 0.10.122 of the lobby, you can use it to field-test the new server, and see if all features work for you. To connect to the new server instead of the old one, you have to add the following few lines to your hosts-file, which is found at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open the file with a notepad started as administrator, and add the following lines:

Code:: 37.58.123.2 faforever.com 37.58.123.2 direct.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 www.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 lobby.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 content.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 content-uncached.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 wiki.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 forums.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 irc.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 mumble.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 support.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 app.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 proxy.faforever.com 37.58.123.2 api.faforever.com

Once you do that, close your web browser and your faf-client, and restart them. Your computer will connect to the new server for everything FA-related. Please note that any changes you make (wiki edits, forum posts, games played, maps/mods uploaded, etc) while you have your changed hostsfile active take place on the new server, and will be discarded once we make the final transition to the new server.

When you want to go back to the old server, forum and website, remove the added stuff from the hostsfile and restart your webbrowser and fafclient.

Any problems you encounter with either the new lobby, or the new server can be reported here in the forum. Thanks!
