From about mid-afternoon yesterday I was unable to connect to the SimSig server. Everything is ok this morning but I was wondering if anybody else had this problem or whether it was just me.

What I am now left wondering is would I have been better off yesterday being in the position of having locked all of my owned sims to this machine. Would I have been able to play as clearly not having them locked and not being able to make contact with the server I was totally left floundering. Log in to reply |

Everyone would have been unable to connect to server and/or access the site for the majority of yesterday. Nothing wrong on your part. Craig How to report an issue: www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:reportanissue Log in to reply |

My question about locking sims to my laptop is still open though. Could someone confirm or deny that having sims locked to the individuals laptop would have allowed play to continue during the outage we got.

I'm sorry northroad, I was trying to say exactly that having a sim locked to my laptop did allow play to continue during the outage we got ? Log in to reply |

Just lock the licences and disconnect from the internet. Log in to reply |

A few months ago we had an outage where locked sims were also unavailable, but given TUT was able to play a locked sim, that doesn't appear to have been the case this time. Also, loader 5.13 should have solved the problem that occurred with locked sims back in December.

northroad in post 140124 said:My question about locking sims to my laptop is still open though.

Essentially the only reason to lock a licence is to play while disconnected from the server, albeit normally due to having no Internet, rather than an outage.

We'd arranged a posting last night to put up once things got back to normal. We really didn't expect it to go on for so long or we'd have got the posting in sooner. You can read that post here.

In the 'Start a new simulation' menu you have the list of sims. Right click on one you wish to lock and the option's right there, second from the top. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: nnr |
