    We are currently observing issues affecting the availability and functionality of the WinterNode Game Control Panel for some customers. This is due to a widespread disruption with one of our Panel's upstream caching providers, which is impacting all of their clients—not just WinterNode.

    As a result, users may experience:

    • Difficulty accessing the Game Control Panel

    • Slow loading times

    • Missing or non-functional interface elements

    Our team is actively monitoring the situation and awaiting further updates from the upstream provider. We will continue to provide updates here as more information becomes available.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Maintenance has been completed successfully. Customers have been migrated to gs107.chi.winternode.com and now you can start up your server and get back to gaming!

    If you used WinterNode provided subdomains or have setup your own personal domains, you will need to update your DNS records accordingly.

    If you were using the WinterNode database server, please make sure to update the database host accordingly to `gs107.chi.winternode.com`

    If you are experiencing any issues starting your server, please submit a ticket in our Discord Server.

    We will be performing a node replacement for MC.CHI1. This operation is part of our ongoing effort to optimize our services.

    Key Details of the Maintenance:

    1) Temporary Shutdown: All gameservers operating in MC.CHI1 will be temporarily powered off during the maintenance period. You will need to start your server once the maintenance has been completed.

    2) Game Panel Access: Access within the Game Panel for this node will be restricted while the maintenance is underway.

    3) IP Address Changes:

    • The majority of IP addresses will remain unchanged.

    • For clients using machine IPs (the direct IP obtained when pinging the hostname of these nodes), please be aware that these IPs will be renumbered.

    • This change should affect only a limited number of clients. We will provide individual notices to those customers once the migration is complete.

    4) Database Migration: Databases associated with this node will also be moved during this process. You will need to update the database server ip after the migration is completed.

    5) Data Integrity: We do not anticipate any data loss as a result of this maintenance.

    We understand the importance of uninterrupted service and are committed to keeping the downtime to a minimum. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to enhance our infrastructure and continue delivering exceptional service.

    Do you want to move sooner?

    If you would like to opt-in for an earlier migration, please open a ticket with the team in the WinterNode Discord (#support) channel and we can coordinate an earlier move of any service.

    Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Support Team.

    We are currently observing a major outage impacting Zayo, which is affecting both halves of our fiber ring into 603 Discovery as of approximately 15 minutes ago. This issue appears to stem from a dark fiber and ISP-level disruption impacting the backbone infrastructure used by multiple carriers traversing that path.

    While our network is designed with redundancy in place, there are multiple ISP outages upstream of us currently being worked through. These external issues may impact connectivity for some users depending on their path to our services.

    The Game Control Panel is now reporting as online and panel functionality appears to be restored. We have moved this incident into a monitoring state as we continue to assess stability.

    Game servers remained online throughout the incident. While there was a brief disruption to our Chicago-based servers that may have caused temporary player disconnections, we have not received any further reports of connectivity issues.

    We will continue to monitor and provide updates as new information becomes available.
