Is it possible to get the server downtime updated to more accurately reflect the outage? The post states that live weather goes down at 23:00z which is correct but it says it returns within a few minutes. The live weather does not come back online for 72 minutes until 00:12z, I don’t think ‘a few minutes’ accurately reflects that downtime.
Right. 72 minutes is 5% of the entire day. For anyone in the US, this is probably closer to 20% of the time they may be able to use the sim in the evenings after work. But still. 109 votes.
“The service will return to normal status after a few minutes.”
Is this not a blatant lie? We’ve proven that it is EXACTLY 2300-0012z daily and they say a few minutes?
I refuse to believe they honestly think that it only goes down for a few minutes so why would they say that?
Personally this is the first time I feel like I’ve actually been lied to by the devs/community managers.
Shame
Edit: see directly below where there could have been a misunderstanding. They may not have meant to say the false information.
I can’t speak for them so I’m not sure if it’s just a typo, a misunderstanding or something else. The post originally said the weather went down at 00:00 and came back at 00:12z until we pointed out it actually went down at 23:00z not 00:00z as it stated. I’m thinking they changed the times but didn’t change the ‘few minutes’ part of it as it is clearly down for a much longer time than that.
Whatever the reason it doesn’t fill me with confidence, but nothing does in regards to the weather right now.
Whatever the reason the wording is misleading to a lot of people who think after a few minutes they should have the service back when in reality it’s 72 minutes.
