Connection Issue with Game

I've got a strange problem, the online game Star Trek Timelines no longer works through my PlusNet fibre connection. I had been playing this game for months with no problems, but as of 19 Nov it just gives me an error saying it can't connect to it's server.

This happens on several Android devices and on PC too, but if I use mobile data on my phone that works. I tried the PC with an ethernet cable so it's not a WiFi issue. I tried resetting my Hub One router and factory reset it too but it didn't resolve anything. Everything else works fine though.

I used chat to contact support today and the person I spoke to said it was a signal to noise issue that they had fixed. They also claimed if I waited 4 hours and then reset my router the problem would be fixed.

I was highly doubtful, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. But after waiting 4 hours I reset the router and the problem persists.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Connection Issue with Game

Welcome to the community forums @AMStones, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems getting on this game while using your Plusnet broadband connection.

 

I've discussed this with a colleague and we've raised this with their support team so we can work together to investigate this further, however it may be worth you also raising this yourself if you haven't already here: https://startrektimelines.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015442367-Contact-Support

 

Thanks.

I have contacted game support as suggested, I'm including a screenshot of the error message too if that is any help.

Re: Connection Issue with Game

Thanks for that @AMStones.

 

I'm not sure if you've seen my response on the ticket on your account, however I've applied a static IP temporarily to try and get around the problem while we're awaiting a more permanent fix for the issue. If you disconnect and reconnect your router, you should re-connect on the new IP and hopefully be able to connect.

Re: Connection Issue with Game

I have contacted Disruptor Beam, but all they have said is that they are looking into the problem.

The game was working until sometime today, but has stopped again now. As before it works on my phone if I use mobile data instead of WiFi. Error message is now blank, screenshot enclosed.
