So what are you saying? Have we lost the current Pistonheads world?

Ouch.
I'm personally not to worried as I like starting over, but I know that feeling won't be shared by those who have spent over 100 hours on their creations

I agree, i have put in maybe 20 hours on this server and spent a lot of that time just learning Tekkit mods, so to start fresh wont be a major upset, but i know others have done a LOT more. Hopefully all our stuff is ok, but if not then PH land 2.0 will be awesome!

Tom it's not the Tekkit server, it's mine. Kieron's message suggested he isn't experiencing any problems with (presumably) my server though, so no idea what's going on. Unless he was on about the Tekkit one.

I'm still hoping it can be rescued for now. Others have posted on mc forums with the same problem so it would appear there's a bug with the 1.4.2 server software and it's not just my fat fingers.

yeah tried the server early last night and just now and have had no problems

so, the update is effecting the MC server but not the Tekkit server??

Tekkit is a separate mod altogether. The updates don't apply to it. It's still running on version 1.2.5 from early in the year.

Ahhh fuuuuck.
So long jungle base. Although clean sheet n all!

Wait. Try the server first Luke. I can't try it from here as I have stty a video card on this machine and it won't load the game. Kieron is showing in the server log as being logged in for 3 mins earlier, which is about 2:50 more than I got before it crashed. Maybe host has fixed it but I've not had any mail telling me.

Having all sorts of issues trying to install 1.4.2 on my server. It won't run for some reason and crashes the game after about 15 seconds. Loads of other people are having the same issues from looking at the mc forums and a lot are reporting corrupted worlds. Host is trying to sort it out right now.

Not looking good guys . Have tried loading it in SSP in 1.4.2 but it's borked there too. It get worse too.. I no longer have the last back-up of it from last week either as I got a virus on my gaming machine from an adfly link over the weekend which forced me to do a complete OS re-install.

Bummer.

You're always the one for getting viruses aren't you? Must be the dodgy porn sites you're visiting

Have you asked the host? Perhaps they'll have a backup somewhere?

I was trying out a mod recently which allows you to save multipler maps (and play them in SSP), only got the area around the spawn though. I've also got a (full) copy of the very first map we were running earlier this year.



I guess people get bored very quickly though so might just be worth starting again?

Okay no worries Rob, will try it when I get in later on.

Weird . I'll take a look at it later . Going to sleep now, been up nearly 24 hours.

Paolo, where did you log in? Were you in the normal overworld or the nether/end? I see the server is still crashing. It tries to log me in at the end portal but only 1 chunk loads then it crashes with the 'read timed out' and 'entity already tracked!' messages.

Is it working for anyone else? I need people to check the other dimensions not just wander round in the overworld.

[All that jazz]

Tried again and still borked for me. When the game crashes it also takes the server down as well and requires a manual restart each time so that's no good. I've tried a couple of other vanilla 1.4.2 servers and I can play just fine on those so that suggests to me that it's an issue at the host end.

ETA: Just deleted my player data folder on the server so it clears my inv and spawns me back at the main spawn - game now working okay it seems.

Paolo/anyone else who suffers this ("read timed out" after 20-30 secs and then a crash), let me know and I will have to delete your player data folder too and replace any items lost from your inv.

@ Mark, personally I'm not against the idea of a new world as the new mob trap and spawning mechanics in 1.4 mean that the mob trap I've been building in 1.2.5 and 1.3.2 now needs to be completely redone so it wouldn't be a great loss for me personally, but other players have a lot of stuff built and more than likely will want to keep it and not have to start over again.

Hey, I left the game when I last played by the end portal. I logged on and that chunk was still fine - I thought 'yay' but when I went through the portal to the end it was completely corrupted and when I fell off one of the few remaining blocks it crashed.....
Though it does sound like you have now developed a solution? Hope so! I'm happy to. Be another test subject if you want to clear my data?

Interesting. I can't remember where I last was in 1.3.2 but when I first logged in with 1.4.2 I was on the spawn portal in the End (not the stronghold) with only the blocks from that chunk loaded. The rest of the End was visually empty and no sign of any Endermen. Sounds like you're logging it at the same place, but this is really odd because I don't see any plausible reason why we would both log out at that location - makes no sense . I'm going to log in shortly and have a mooch around and try the portals .

[All that jazz]

OK just been for a wander. Nether seems to work okay although much laggier (is that even a word? ) than it was in 1.3.2 - it's like the 1 FPS it used to be in 1.2.5 again . Went through the End portal and it's still fked. End isn't loading at all except for the chunk you spawn on and then after 20 seconds the game and server crashes. I shall raise this with the host again but he is already aware as he's said that around half of his total Minecraft customers are experiencing this also.

If you other guys would like to test the End portal it would be appreciated. Don't take any valuables with you because I will have to delete your player data from the game files if it goes belly up (= losing whatever inv you have on you and spawning you back at the main spawn).

In the meantime I think a bit of Tekkit is calling.
