This is fixed now

Are we seeing problems due to inadequate server capacity again recently? (Symptom - "Oh no server overload" message).

Or is it just an unfortunate cluster of server outages when I have tried to connect?

I'm not aware of anything

It's intermittent and not that frequent. No worries.

Anyone else look at the thread title and think of the film Carwash? Or am I just showing my age?

Hey, you got to get up if you want to get down.

I was getting connection errors yesterday which I put down to overload on the host servers. The pattern is the same - During a game my connection status randomly goes from four bars to 1 in an instant despite the internet connection never dropping. The /ping command no longer works for a few seconds and when it responds the latency is 400+ and drops consistently back down to around 80. Definitely a load balancing issue.

Massive lag on the website in the last hour following connection problems on live chess earlier suggests chess.com has run into server overload problems again. Skimping can lead to problems!

If there were server issues it would be impacting everyone. I'm not aware of anything like that.

Yeah, me too. Connection is slow...then there's lag.
