I thought I was alone with this issue. It started about 3 days ago for me. I have tried all of the suggestions mentioned above, with equally mixed results. Sometimes I get right on, and others I fruitlessly repeat login efforts. Something definitely was changed and is affecting EMC randomly. HELP! This is very frustrating - I have limited time to deal with login issues in the early morning.
Well, I will try that also. But, I have an update: I have been logging in regularly to Utopia and over the last 3 days this connect issue has plagued me at random intervals. I decided to Direct Connect to smp6 and was able to connect. On subsequent attempts the problem persists. But, after changing the address back to Utopia, I attempt to Direct Connect and it fails. I then change to smp6 again and Direct Connect takes me there. I have tried this on 3 of my 4 alts over the last 10 minutes or so - it works consistently when you change address to an smp other than Utopia. No idea what the underlying connection issue might be, but at least I can connect now.
This issue still exists? I remember getting this a lot back in the day with EMC. I'm not sure why but when I got it, I got it really bad... I'm really glad others are coming forward that they have this issue as well. I would like some insight, at well, why this is happening... :\
Considering my results with 4 different accounts, it's not isolated to the IP, launcher instance, computer, Java edition, etc... could it be based on the account itself? After testing on MineChat, it's not based off of account either, I'm able to connect to smp2.emc.gs on my 4th account just fine, so it seems like an arbitrary reason it's blocking some but not others... EDIT: My main account is now getting the error, but not my 3rd account, reaffirming even more that it's arbitrarily blocking some but not others...
sorry about that. seems a proxy crashed yet the task that automatically restarts it was set to the wrong ID so basically you were at the luck of which one your system selected at random to connect to, and if it chose the downed one, you got the error. We had a hiccup friday and I didn't notice that out of the "everythings back ok" alerts, one was missing.
Thanks Aikar for the update. I just finished logging into 5 accounts with no issues. Smooth as glass now . . . have a great EMC day everyone! The Sus
The number 8 voter's link seem to be having some issues for a couple of days now. https://minecraftservers.biz/empire-minecraft/#vote_now [MinecraftServers.biz]
Issues tend to happen from time to time with minecraft voting sites. Unfortunately those issues are outside of our control so all we can really do is wait for them to be resolved on the site's end. I've seen it take some time to get their act together again on occasion. If it turns out the site ends up dead and stays dead we can look at potential removal. Hopefully though it'll recover soon and can be used again.
Heyo So in an attempt to reduce lag I turned all of my hopper streams in water streams for my storage. The issue is though is that when you do the water sign technique the items get stuck in the air block between! This has never happened and I was wondering what caused this issue? This only became an issue after the entity update. https://imgur.com/dFvYOIY
I noticed a similar issue with my water stream- which I ended up replacing with hoppers (only a line of like 40 hoppers thats it xP). Instead of an air block like you have, I had a top-half-slab with air gap below so items could pass through- items would get stuck under the slab. Same concept though .
It's a known issue. I accidently reverted the fix in the deploy the other day. it's fixed in upstream and will be back once I get another server jar build updated. So just bear with it for a bit. Hopefully tonight.
