ORS System

I have been wanting to use the ORS system a lot of late as I am getting ready for an expansion phase. However, everytime I log on recently it is always ‘deactivated for performance reasons’. I realise that there is a huge amount of data that its need to have access to to and get updated, but was wondering whether there was a particular time where its always active or is it just because of the low tech computer Im using :blink: ?

Check the Game Status at the bottom of your in-game pages. If it is up to date (meaning server time displayed at the top) the ORS is available. If it has tasks to work on, it’s disabled (temporarily).

Hi,

I usually check the Game Status Page, as described by Tim.

If the server is 10 minutes (or more) behind schedule, I forget about it and try again the next time I log in.

But if the status page only shows a few orange lines (less than one minute behind schedule) I open the ORS on several windows/tabs and fill in the origin and destination fields of the routes I want to check. As soon as the status page shows only green lines - or only one yellow line - I quickly press <enter> on all ORS pages.

And if there are several red lines, I come to the forum and read the recent messages. That’s what I am doing now. Status page is red again

Thanks Jan. Your description of of the colors and times helps a lot. I have always been directed to the game status page, but was never 100% sure what I was looking at. Now I do, so thanks again.
