Hello devs, we are curious what is causing everyone losing connection to servers since yesterday, we are very worried because we love this game. We would love to know the reasons, is it a ddos? Or something else?

Just Tagged about it Scawen on X ( aka Twitter )

Even the online services like lfsworld, forums seem to have been affected.

Funny how not many people have complained about this on the forums? Or we get any infomation from the devs on it.

been a bit difficult to post anything on the forums in the past days

Also, it's better to post as little as possible about it, to avoid giving satisfaction to the attackers. They are really sad people trying to have some kind of effect on the world. They get excited by seeing the disruption. Most people know this, so when they see an attack, they don't say anything about it. More often, attacks are shorter. It's usually better not to react, so the attackers get bored more quickly.

Why not use proper DDOS protection?

Very good question, especially since i3D.net the hosting provider for LFS does advertize DDOS protection.
