Status on connection issues

[DK Goofy - Jesper]

Hi all,
I am not able to go fishing as the connection to the server is lost repeatedly. I have validated local files, restarted steam with no effect.
This seems to affect everybody not just me.
It would be great with a status page where users could see if servers are working or not, and get status updates.
Thanks,
Jesper

Top of game screen while fishing icons will pop up (small) show a computer monitor and link to world (if world is flashing it is up/downloading etc. or having issues with link). To the right of your netkeep information.

I mean a website with information on the status of the servers. I, and others apparently, are unable to fish as we get connection issues.
That way it would be possible to know if the servers should be working, or the developers are simply unaware of the issues.

Press F9 when you get to the loading screen, and you should see which server you are connected/connecting to on the top right of your screen.

If it isnt connecting accordingly, you can try send a "ping" to the server and see if you get a response at all. Open cmd and type "ping + [the ip of the server]"

@JeppeH
I was not aware of the F9 option. It allowed me to debug a bit:
During loading I was connected to 192.40.222.2 after a while I was forwarded to 192.40.222.34, both with a good ping. Then the game was loaded.
When I then click "Go fishing" I am still connected to 192.40.222.34, but forwarded after 2 seconds to 198.144.126.67 and then I get connection lost.

So it would seem that 198.144.126.67 is defect.

That would explain why some people has no issues, they are lucky to connect to a working server. I am just not.

Edit: I am able to ping 198.144.126.67 just fine, the FP service is just not working.

Edit: I have created a bug report here: https://forum.fishingplanet.com/index.php?/topic/25732-server-19814412667-is-defect/
