I saw that a game didn't work. I think it was Orc vs elf.

I tested about 15 of them and they worked for me, but I did not test the orc slot since I did not have that one up anywhere, some of the games I tested were video poker as well as a few table games.

I have noticed the affiliate site to be a little bit slow and at times I have had to refesh once or twice for it to come up, but I have also noticed that AE is not the only site this seems to happen on.

I have been having trouble with the AE website also. With Firefox it wont even load and with IE it is very slow.

[sweetbet]

The games are not loading for me, and the AE site has been unusually slow to load these last few days.

I wonder if some of these issues are related to some of the ddos attacks that have been happening all over the world.

These attacks do NOT have to be leveled directly at AE or their gaming servers in order to affect traffic in geographic areas.

In fact one article I read just a little while ago talked about an attack that one ddos protection company helped mitigate, that affected traffic all over the uk for a day.

There could be some major congestion in some geographic areas that are affecting routing etc getting from one part of the world to another.

It also could be affecting dns servers that is causing slow downs etc, I noticed a very short burst of traffic issues just before lunch time eastern time, but it was short lived, it started about 1150am and was cleared up by 1210pm Eastern time.

I have been doing a little attack research today and have noticed a number of places talking about increased activity, but have not seen anything specific discussed the past few days. (except what I posted about aol in another spot)

By the way Travis, good idea about the browsers, I will try some games in a different browser to see if that changes my results. In case anyone is interested I am in central florida, and have been able to play any of the ae games I have tried on my sites. as well as the link moonlite posted.

[universal4]

Interesting, I got the same results, The game would not load in firefox, but did in IE and was even fast in Opera.
Firefox version 28, IE Version 8, Opera 12.17

I even changed dns servers in my router in case it was a slow down from road runner's dns.

Does anyone know of any recursive dns servers in costa rica I can try to see if we get different results?

I happened to notice I wasn't completely updated on flash, so I ran the latest flash update and it did not help.

Game linked in first post continues to work just fine in IE and Opera, but not in Firefox.

Hi all, I'm already having this checked out and I will update when I know more. It does seem we're having a few issues with Firefox with the AE site and flash games.

Will find out more.

[universal4]

Good to hear Martyn,

Let us know if you want any of us to help test etc

I also noticed that the banner impression tracking scripts were taking a long time and was slowing down the loading of pages on my site.

Impression tracking isn't all that important to me, so removing that was no big loss, but just a heads up that the server that holds the tracking scripts is also slow to respond.

Edited to add: These appear to be the least of their problems... looking at some recent posts on the Casinomeister forums, it seems their casinos aren't even working right now.

Any News?

[AE-Martyn]

Things are almost back to normal. You shouldn't see any issues with AE or the links now.

AE does run a little slow, but we've been migrating AE to a new server whcih we hope will help. We're also looking at a slight rework of the reporting scripts to see if we can speed that up further.

If you see any more issues, please drop us an email so we can get to it right away.

Thanks all.

[universal4]

The flash games seem to work fine in firefox now.

Thank you AE-Martyn.Now flash games work fine.

[universal4]

Thanks for letting us know it's cleared up for you too moonlight....

From a technical standpoint though, I am a little curious to know why it seemed to only affect Firefox. Did it have to do with the way it handles the user agent on the server side? Glad it is worked out no matter what te reason behind it.

I've noticed them going offline sometimes.. But, they always come back. I use video poker predominantly on my site. I have not noticed any outages lately.

You are absolutely right.
It happened to my site in the middle of the week. When I used proxy servers from different locations my site loaded perfectly.
However, from the place where I am living, I was unable to visit my site. Browser cannot find DNS server, etc.
It's a serious matter!. As internet getting over-crowded with massive traffic around the world, such "things" could happen more often, in the future.
Don't you think so?

[universal4]

If you ever have trouble reaching dns servers, you can always change dns to any public dns servers on your local machine until the problem clears up.
