888 Connection Issues

[Brandlad]

There is not a single player playing in any tourney at present. I just logged in and saw 0 players.

 

[MrHachiman]

Does the whole day go down?

 

[Insomnia6590]

Terrible!

It must be somekind of attack

Does the whole day go down?

No one knows , until it gets fixed. I have found a few problems this morning when I was playing in a tournament, but I guess it s fine for now

I have the same issues unable to connect.
I am using Windows7 on the desktop I use for poker and until last week I had no problem. I have done everything I can think of to my computer and still nothing. Today I took my Laptop that uses Windows10 to a friends place and tried to login from a different IP address on a laptop that I have just loaded 888 onto and it is the same.
Like others have said the problem is from the source not our equipment.

QUOTE=Polytarp;4643453]Thanks for shifting the issues to this thread dakota xx.

Let's try and see what's going on instead of belly-aching about the problems...

I use Win 8.1 pro and Win 7 pro and could not access the site with the regular software. I tried with instant client on Chrome on both operating systems and no go again. I swapped to Win 10 and the regular software didn't work but the instant client worked...(I managed to bust out in one hand in the level up tourney).

I kept my task manager running during all instances to see what was taking place to isolate the programs involved with this site and saw what I expected. Linux has far more tools to assess what is going on (Server ID, locale ping response time... etc...) but I have no intention of using Linux for gaming....other than Steam

Could some people look into their machines and see what, if anything, is not working or at least identify the servers that are establishing contact? Above all, don't state anything compromising. This is a perfect time for hackers to obtain access to accounts with everyone attempting multiple log ins.

[/QUOTE]
The probleme is not is windows , it doesn’t t matter if U login from laptop or phone or ... u ll always find the problem, because it s in their server, they fix it but the problem seems coming back

today i open the software and it's working good but all registration to tournamnets has been denied. only some few cash tables are able to play.

Yes , seems they can t fix this soon

fair play to 888 they credited my account 6dollars more than buy in hope they are ok and they can fix their problems as lot players really like that site as it is one of the best.:top:

Good , refund and reward is always good thing

I understand that the problem is on the server side and with another operating system on a different (accelerated hardware) system and by using some decent network tools you can pretty much map out 888's entire server side presence. From that point you can then seek out a connection rather than doing it randomly. I just find it more practical to address an issue and come to a consensus on how to deal with it for everyone's benefit rather than bemoaning the problems encountered.


I played on other sites rather than wasting my time.

Good , can u please explain more thank you

Got disconnected while trapping a fish in 10NL when i flopped quad 6's with a pocket pair. Is it worth complaining or will they not care? Still cant get on...

Contact support , Check history take a screenshot and send it to them

Again stopped work ! This morning was still working . However, this is starting to get annoying .

Yes it is :/ they must find a real solution veeery fast .

I have the same issues as all of you , instant play doesn't work as well but I can access the lobby and some tournaments are running with participants from EU/non EU. How is that possible?

Yeah some users can access the lobby , a friend of mine could connect when I couldn’t

I have the same problem, I thought it only happened to me

No not just you , many users have the same prob

Been dropped in the middle of two tournaments i was trying to play in .. been very frustrating

That s bad , contact support maybe u ll get refund

It is quite annoying when I'm playing some tournamernt for an hour, 888 poker crashes then I can't log in annymore.

Frustrating :/ , contact support you may get a refund

I am not even try to open.Shame.I am liked to play Cardschat event on sunday and have one ticket for i phone tournament,but ok!

Maybe things will work fine o. Sunday

I was able to register into the Barcelona free roll with the instant client on Win 10 but attempts to register into tourneys with thin fields and a large guaranteed prize pool fail with an "error encountered" message. If I could register for some of these games and if I was unable to play then perhaps I could squeak into a prize just by sitting out.

Here are a few articles that directly/indirectly address what's taking place at 666 ….I mean 888 :

I guess you gotta be lucky even to register for these games and not just lucky during them!

Yes , thank you for the articles though

I wanted to make a deposit in 888, but in light of the latest problems. the desire to send money to them was lost.

Yes , no one want to risk his money

6th day in a row. Maybe they are trying to break a record for bad connections.

Lol very funny , yes 6 days in a row . Such company must not have thoses kind of probleme , or it will lose it s credibility

Today I am having troubles getting into 888 poker, I have had this problem before but after a few mins or restarts it will work.
I'm signed into Pokerstars and that is working fine, when I try to log into 888 it says I have a connection problem.
Thanks

pokerstars is working fine . 888 is the one having the problems

Pity was looking forward to 10k crown and few micros.

Too bad .

It is really to see, that a " big" site like 888 takes longer to defend against DDoS than ACR.
Hope they will be back and working fine soon.

888, we miss you!!!

The sites should work together to find out, who sends these Attacks and send them to jail forever.

Yes I agree with you , they must work together if they want to limit thoses attacks.

7th day in a row and I still can't login.

Is anyone able to login with the client or by the Web site? If so how?

 

[Chalada12]

I can login , but I found probleme many times during day . I login from phone .

 

[Risto234]

Few hours ago i managed to login so i'd be able to get nothing from that spinning wheel but i guess problems will come back (for me) once that 10K $ tournament starts or so just like yesterday ...

 

[Arpad Muzslao]

Is anyone able to login with the client or by the Web site? If so how?

I am playing right now, but it keeps crushing.

 

[Peppinotom]

It's getting better, they accepted me 2 times today as theirt client and I could even win something

 

[Anders1616]

I have been playing on 888 all evening and it worked perfect.

 

[Psyanide14]

Was finally able to log in and register for the $50 daily freeroll. Before it started it crashed again. At least I got registered and sitting out hands are live, I might cash for 2 cents. 😂

 

[RandallRiver]

I played cash tonight for about an hour from canada with no trouble

 

[MatMackenz]

Server issues again today.. webapp was not working at all but I managed to get on my windows 7 PC.

I wrote into support about my issues, and they comp'd me very nicely. It was not expected. I hope they figure a way to mitigate these attacks, I really like this poker room the most.

The customer service is top notch

 

[Brandlad]

I lost $3 today just because of login issues. I think I should keep away from 888 till the issue get over.

 

[AgentXtreme]

888 had a lot of connecting problems past days , I think it's good now .

 

[wlad20082009]

Today everything works . It seems they have managed to rectify the situation . I'm happy for them . For myself, too .

 

[slicheri93]

888 seems to be working for now but for how long untill it goes down again?
Don't feel like playing on 888 right now untill i know it won't go down again while i'm playing hope they got everything in order now but i'll wait for a few days untill i see no more posts about a issue at 888.

 

[zwbb]

Already everything is okay

If this is an error dump during 888 suffering the dos attack, send it to support, they should be happy and follow up.
It seems it triggered a bug in their software.

 

[boxxerr]

They have been having some site issues for the past week, both on sportsbook and poker clients.

 

[wildcatApollo]

It did start again

Hi Grinders,

the problem is reactivated. Since over a week "888" kicks me out every 30 Minutes -> screen freezes, doesn´t respond.
Debug (WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(115)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale)
& CLogFile come at desktop.

It makes me angry, that support via the site doesn´t answer, because the mails are false redirected (confirmed after direct call to "888") and call service doesnt´t even roughly understand the issue: the first answer from them was, that the new feature deactivate you after 1 hour, so you have to log in again, rly???:ahhhhh:
Second one is that I play and make a screenshot, when it happens: meant to play and "chip dump" when it hits.

Btw. It had been said to me also, Firefox could be an issue. How? How the hell a browser could interference, even when it´s closed, with a software, that is installed on the other harddrive (System Drive)?? Am I really suchha idiot or does somebody tries to "Gaslighting" me?
