May 19th Updates: Server upgrades, bug and minor fixes

Today's update brings in some minor fixes to the last update, courtesy of @Brant

Updates: Along with the release of this update I will also take the opportunity to perform an OS upgrade on the hypervisor (= the machine on which everything runs). The main reason for the upgrade is that the latest OS / driver versions allow us to use more advanced techniques for DDoS mitigation, particularly without affecting legitimate traffic. You can think of this more or less like upgrading Windows 10 to WIndows 11. A lot of things can go wrong and may require manual fixing. As such I can't give you a precise estimate, but I expect the server will be down for 30-60 minutes.

While the server is down parts of the website will also be inoperative. Donations and vote rewards will not be processed, highscores will be down, user registration on the forums will be unavailable as well as UCP account linking. I strongly recommend not voting or donating during this period.


Thank you for your patience. :)

EDIT: Everything back online, upgrades went smoothly without a hitch.

It hasn't run on Windows since 2011. Those were dark times indeed.
