PGTour; Evil Memory Leaks



[s]pgtour[/s]

Well, it seems that the 'little' delay is bigger than everyone really suspected. The reason PGTour stopped Season IV was to make critical updates to the B.Net-X server so that the community enjoyed it more. But, it seems the delay will last a few days more than suspected and will put Season V on hold, temporarily.



Everything was all set to go for the arrival of a new season. Season V was supposed to start on October 22nd, at 06:00 CET. But as you and over 30,000 members saw, it did not. The reason, "Evil Memory Leaks." That is how PGTour's lead man, Canada [Pat], described it as he wrote to the community.

"We are really sorry to announce that the Season V needs to be delayer for a couple of days. We did everything we could to start it on time but sadly, it was not possible. We are working to improve our system.

This is exactly why:

Since we re-opened, we realized that there was a memory leak and it has bothered us for quite some time but the problem was that we could not do anything or investigate it any more since Season IV was running. As soon as the Season ended, we investigated it and we found it. It was not very easy but Gybs managed to track down the memory leak.

We are working on fixing it and we made some progress but it is not completely fixed yet. It should not take long but it will require few more days.

We are really sorry about this but as far as we know, this is the last bug left. Every time BNet-X went down during Season IV, it was because of this bug. This is why we decided to focus fix it before anything else to make sure that BNet-X does not down anymore.

Once again, we are sorry about this but we believe that it will be for the best.
"


So as you can hear from the big man, things are under control but the situation will take some time to fix. But have not fear PGTour will not go down like it did months ago.
