Server Updates
1) TajMahal and TheMaze “Jantar Mantar” CSGO map designed by D2D team launched recently. So far we have recorded, more than 15 thousand downloads by CSGO fraternity around the world. Our Facebook page post reached out to total 34 thousand players and got around 4 thousand post likes so far.
2) We changed our ISP very recently and completed the Server Migration on a better platform to ensure enhanced security. Considering this change, it is expected that users would see a difference in ping. Technically for some users it may improve and for some; increase a bit, but as long as players are able to connect and play lag free, it’s OK. TCP/IP will do its magic by caching your IP route and in due course of time you shall see improved ping if not for the first time.
3) We changed our IP address due to technical issues; Many steps have been taken to strengthen the server security considering recent DDoS attacks, however in the process we have identified that some users are not able to connect to server currently. This may be due to the very nature of their private/local ISPs that either may be black listen on the global Black-List repositories or technically not updated in our pool of exceptions. Our firewall also looks at global blacklist ip pools that have been used for spamming and booting in the recent past. It doesn’t mean you have done anything wrong but in case of dynamic IP, you may very well be a victim, so I would advice you to check on blacklist repositories to see if that’s the case with you. For such users, we are taking note of their ip pool and weekly once updating our firewall. So if you are facing any such issue, first try to restart your router and try again, if it still doesn’t connect to our server then please send us your ip pool of respective ISP in your region. Over the next couple of days, we will be able to support most ISPs. Currently all major ISPs are supported.
4) To protect from unwanted booters and illegal stressors we had to block rest of the world from accessing our servers. Users (other countries) who have been regular and still wants to be able to connect on D2D servers, we request them to get static IP address and send us the information so that we can white-list the same.
5) D2D team is currently working on updating the multimode server and in a few days, will launch it. Valve has changed the way models work and this directly impacted all multi-mode community servers.
6) Yesterday we re-launched the CSGO SCRIM servers and the Server Status is maintained on our Page | Servers
7) Team is working on the CSGO Casual Server and in due time we will be announcing the launch.
8) In addition to our 24/7 Support service, we thought of making a Idea Place functionality that some of our members can use to post their unique ideas about what we should be doing next as a community. To know more about the D2D Idea-Place please read here http://drag2death.com/d2d-invites-your-ideas/
Lastly, we are abide to support Indian players with no other agendas and the team is collecting funds to launch more servers on alternate ISPs for load balancing and better pings.
Thank you for reading this rather long update. We can keep on writing but this tiny little mobile keypad only allows us to say “Love”!
