ACR Thread

I decided that the problem is in my computer so I uninstalled the poker client and seems that I must reinstall in now. Will check it out.

Hi everyone, we have mitigated the DDOS attacks and the site is now fully operational. We again apologize for any inconvenience.

I registered for the $7500 gtd tourney at 7:45 pm but I'm having these same issues

Really, site doesn't seem to be functioning still??

nope

I'm not able to even get the client to open fully. I just see "Configuring..." at the top. I think you're under attack again.

 

[soncheebs]

Who is constantly doing these attacks, what is the purpose...just to be a disruption or can they steal our personal information and money?

 

[gnarus]

ACR is posting about it on twitter- they did confirm it was a non-hacking event and all our personal data was safe- for what that's worth.

Is it possible someone is trying to crash the system based on how they are doing in a tourney?

I just reviewed the rules- in the money- all players get the next minimum prize- and the remaining prize pool distributed by chip count.

Tourney still on late reg- all players get a full refund- even those eliminated.

a DDoS attack isn't about stealing information. It's about bombarding the servers with thousands of requests every minute until the servers become overloaded and stop working. Could be anyone. Someone who lost a lot of money, competitors, or just someone looking to have "fun".

 

[Snakester420]

Every time I tried to play on ACR the past few days its been down... great to have action on ignition though.

 

[gnarus]

Someone asked if they would release a bonus for all the problems- they said they are working on something for all players. Hopefully this is true- I would like to be playing there and dont have any money elsewhere

 

[winslowlee]

the site is certainly not secure. none of you will believe it no matter how much proof there is

 

[ScooperNova]

Limited functionality seems to have returned, but disconnecting from their servers is definitely still a huge problem. I just got kicked off the servers mid hand at 11:11pm EST.

Or extortionists demanding payment to cease.

what is the proof?

 

[ScooperNova]

disconnected again midhand at 11:24pm EST. Its definitely not safe to play now if your risking any significant amount.

 

[soncheebs]

site is such a bummer....it was good for so long i remember cashing out regularly 2 years ago now its just plagued with "hackers" and deposit/withdrawal lag times.

 

[maverickfighter]

Site appears to be back up. Hopefully no more issues. Lost 2 nights of playing.

 

[GRANDPAPA929]

I hope for a speedy recovery.
Now my room looks like this

 

[ChuckNola]

Connecting to Server....

 

[blanktheman]

I'm so glad ACR is back up and running, i'm online now. Twitter hasn't announced it yet which is wierd because yesterday they said they would. Maybe they don't want a mad rush of people joining.

 

[dbchristy]

Thanks for the updates! Thats all anyone can really ask Seems all good this morning Love my ACR

 

[ACR Rep]

Hello, I have the following update: The Current Status: DDOS Attack mitigated, game is up and running. All running tournaments that got canceled have been refunded. However, our techs are currently looking into several reports our players are making. I do really appreciate your patience and cooperation with this important situation.

 

[GRANDPAPA929]

I downloaded the client link CardsChat, installed again and.... no connection.
Attack on ACR was strong.
Waiting to be cured ACR. I have a lot of patience.
