same for me 2
Same has happened to me too, it was working fine before. I logged out a game to log into another and Now I can't join any.
Logging in on the pager and waiting for the connection to complete (it may take a bit) should push you onto the alternate hub, so that will work as a workaround.

I attempted this, still didn't work.
Same here, was fine last night, I wake up and all of a sudden I can't join anything unless it's in my bookmarks.

Bookmarks do not work for me, I tried everything to fix this problem. There is one way you can join games which I found. You have to log in as a Guest. Logging in as a Guest to the Game (any game) Will work. Still not fixed the main problem yet though. I tried joining different games with 3 different keys. None worked.

Yes well it didn't. Despite eventually connecting to the pager no one can connect to any games except for one particularly dumb DBZ game.
i cant play its taking to long to log in
It's very hit and miss, but I'm having problems as well. Sometimes I can't even connect to my own server which seems baffling.
There was an issue earlier in the day that was corrected with a hub restart, and another later on. The hub was in a state where it was not accepting connections but it was not being properly restarted. We've been working on a better fix for this and the issue should be resolved now.

There is a sort of related issue with the servers not properly switching to the alternate hub or detecting that the hub was down, either of which should have been options for coping with the problem. This will be addressed in the next release.
Please post in this thread if/when you experience this problem. We are monitoring it as best we can.

Your network connection is not working or the hub server is down.
BYOND Central is not accessible.

It's still messed up for me. The only thing which seems to work is connecting directly to an IP address.
This could be a completely different problem. One of the issues recently resolved involved the pager losing hub contact for extended periods. Try closing your pager and restarting it to see if that fixes things; if it does, the other bug is responsible.
