Did Online Dreamcast stop working?!

Post by JDCreationz »

I was trying ALL my online DC games (including the web browser)
last night and they all connected but you couldn't do anything:

Web Browser - Connected to the net, no pages load

Starlancer - Connects, then gets a sudden error

Outtrigger - All though the servers are up, it says that they are down

Speed Devils Online - "Router Time Out"

Maximum Pool - "Connection Established" then "Connection Failed"

Any word on what could be going on? :(

so it's definitely a problem with your ISP...or something.

I only have three online games: Daytona USA, PSO, StarLancer

StarLancer's Gamespy servers have been down for a while
I fear connecting to PSO 'cos I'll get hacked right away
Daytona USA you have to pay for...right? (still?)

I can use Jet Grind Radio and Samba de Amigo's online features perfectly.

anything that used SegaNet doesnt work
i know Unreal Tournament does, as for Gamespy runs the servers for it now.

Daytona is dead i believe.

With teh webbrowser, try a different version, try the one fatheadpi is working on.

You mean SpeedDevlis ONline won't work anymore?

It DOES say SegaNet while loading but I know for a fact
that http://www.ubi.com hosts the servers for that game.

Yeah, some Seganet games still work. NFL2K2 is probably the most popular, and the only one that has a decent amount of traffic. Others let you log in, but there's nobody there.

I use the browser all the time, to download VMU files, and backing up my game saves.

At least the problem is now solved :wink:

JD, Speed Devils Online is ran by UbiSoft's servers.

Daytona's severs are dead, have been dead for quite sometime now.
