Site slowness this weekend

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to provide a quick update. While I haven't been able to reach a computer at all this weekend I'm aware that the servers have been slower than usual over the past few days.

 

The root cause of this issue is a database cluster node that got knocked out Saturday afternoon, meaning we've been running on 4 nodes instead of the usual 5. On top of that we're currently seeing higher than usual traffic, about 22% more than a usual Sunday, so not only are we running at 20% less power capacity but we're also serving 22% more users. I'm not entirely sure what the traffic bump is attributed to but it could perhaps just be an influx in people replaying Fallout 3 and New Vegas in response to the announcement of Fallout 4 last week.

 

We're overdue an update news post on the recent changes we've made to both the site and one of the largest updates to NMM we've ever done, due to my extremely limited time at the moment, but that will come as soon as possible.

 

Lastly, we're still aware of the slowness on the forum side and we're still working on transitioning the forums over to a new server system that should resolve this issue.

With FO4 and TES6 I'm not surprised. People will need their filler till those come out and are looking to FO3, FNV, TES3, 4 and 5 again for it. And if you are in the PC Master race rather then a console junkie that means turning it past the dial 11.

We're just lucky Steam also isn't doing a free weekend or the Nexus would be hammered into little peaces.
