TTG Server issues?

edited December 2010 in General Chat
Btw is it only me or do you also experience a sometimes weird behaviour of the site/forum like unavailability, that it's very slow or submitted pages don't get submitted properly, lately?

Also email notifications, you don't get them once, not twice, instead you get them a couple of times. Regarding the BTTF release i think i got more spammed than informed between the 23th and 24th by marketing@telltales.com.

Together with the issues they had with the release of BTTF already, this feels a little bit out of control, these days.

    I'm with you on the e-mails thing, those were a little erratic the past few days.

    As for the site, it seems to turn sluggish, presumably for some sort of maintenance, for about an hour and a half around the same time every day. In my time zone, it starts at about 6:10 AM, which is 5:10 AM in Telltale's Pacific time zone and either 13:10 or 12:10 GMT, depending on whether or not daylight savings is in effect. The Telltale site has done this for at least the last year and a half, as long as I've been around. At least it's better (if only slightly) than another site I visit that does the same thing at 2 AM here and shuts down completely for it.

    Well, okay, then it's not only me.

    Yeah they are having problems.
    I expected it was because of a rush of bttf fans wanting to play the game, but they should be done with the game and spamming the forums with questions everyone knew and answered already but they didnt know.

    and either 13:10 or 12:10 GMT, depending on whether or not daylight savings is in effect.

    Fun fact, it's called BST (British Summer Time) when daylight savings is in effect. GMT doesn't change.

    And yeah, I've noticed the same thing - extreme slowness and/or database errors at the same time every day.

    I know GMT doesn't change, but the clocks on Telltale's servers change for DST, so when California's on PST (GMT -8), the servers go down at 13:10 GMT, but when California's on PDT (GMT -7), the servers go down at 12:10 GMT.

    @puzzlebox

    Aren't you discussing about changing to MEZ/UTC+1?

    I don't think that switching between sommer and wintertime makes sense. I hope that at some point they'll dare to return to normaltime for the whole year.
