We will be performing hardware upgrades and general maintenance on select machines. Game servers hosted on the affected machines will be temporarily unavailable during this window.
This work is part of our ongoing effort to improve performance and roll out better hardware.
Each impacted machine will be offline for approximately 1 hour during the maintenance window. Servers on unaffected nodes will continue running normally.
To check whether your server is impacted, view your node on the Game Panel home page: https://winternode.com/help/getting-started/accessing-the-game-control-panel/#finding-your-server
