 | |  |  | |  |  | | | | | | | | In the last 24-48 hours, an Internet worm has started making the rounds, exploiting a recent vulnerability in the DCOM-RPC service in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. If your computer is exhibiting strange behavior, such as giving messages about RPC errors and shutting down on its own in about a minute after reporting a bunch of strange messages, then you are most likely being affected by it. Updating your virus scanner may not be of much use, as the worm will continue to attempt to re-infect your computer as long as the vulnerability exists. Updating your firewall MAY help, but the recommended solution is to IMMEDIATELY download and install the following patch:

Also, if you are affected, a removal tool is here:

Note that systems not connected to the Internet will not be affected by the worm, but should still be patched anyway as a precaution.

| | | | | | | Due to some major thunderstorms rolling through Austin, TX, our ISP experienced a serious power outage. The ISP does have backup power, but due to the length of the power outage (over an hour), the batteries drained and all servers lost power. Due to the lost of power, some star systems were corrupted and had to be reset.
[Update]
Servers are all back online at 10:30 CST, most of the storm activity has gone south of Austin. |

| | | | | | | A few changes have happened with the DarkSpace web server...
Firstly, we've been forced to place bandwidth restrictions on our web server to limit the amount of bandwidth being used. We've also added a new module to compress the web pages, also in an effort to reduce bandwidth usage. Lastly, we have moved our web pages to a faster machine. This may cause some people to experience problems with downloading the client, as it takes a few hours for the DNS changes to propagate through the Internet. |

| | | | | | | The Gaming section of AroundCinci.com has reviewed DarkSpace and been kind enough to give us an 8.5 overall rating! Thanks to Ben "the worst fleet admiral ever" Rudick for a great review. Here's a snippet...
One very outstanding element of the game is the players themselves. Never before in my gaming career have I been in such a welcoming and friendly gaming atmosphere. They were always willing to give me a loan or teach me tactics.

"This really is the closest to a perfect online space-strategy game I’ve seen so far, but prepare to spend a fair amount of time getting to know everything until you really see this game shine."
