No chat

[ToejamS]

This morning there was an update apparently. Chosen, reddev, myself and other players have no received this update. I am unable to join with IRC either. The rest of the lobby works, I can see leader boards, join/host games.... but there is no chat.

Fritz apparently got the update and is unable to join.
Being unable to join using irc, could there be a limit to the number of users?

Unable to connect to IRC server. Make sure you can open connections on Port 6667 (many corporate or campus firewalls prohibit this)

And yet I think it was about an hour or 2 ago, I could get into IRC channel just fine. Wut?

Hmmm, seems that something is blocking connections, the server doesn't get a single request from anybody.

[Ze_PilOt]

I confirm. You can use port 8067 instead, a firewall somewhere is blocking 6667.

We will update the lobby soon.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I could chat earlier today, or am I imagining things? Anyways, glad somebody is on the job.
Thanks!

Something happened around 10am GMT+1. I guess it's the main provider that block some ports.

[ToejamS]

confirmed port 8067 works. Dont know if it can be changed for faflobby

Same here: Unable to connect to IRC server. Make sure you can open connections on Port 6667 (many corporate or campus firewalls prohibit this)
Nothing changed since yesterday.

Can't be changed in the current build, and won't be changeable until we get settings refactored. Do you want me to use the alternative port from now on?

[Ze_PilOt]

The chat is unavailable until we change the port in the lobby. A quickfix is needed as soon as possible.
