Much appreciation to the infrastructure team!
It seems that this week is a great time for an update on this topic.lordalx wrote: ↑25 March 2025, 17:26 Dear Board Game Arena players
We're delighted to announce that the server outages we've been experiencing over the last few weeks, mainly at peak times on Sunday and Monday evenings CEST, seem now behind us!
It's been a long journey for the technical teams, not only to expand the capacity of our servers, but also to monitor, analyse and resolve the many problems we've encountered in the past. We had to rebuild a highway so that you could all enjoy online board games.
We've spent countless hours, in the evenings and at night, keeping a close eye on previous bottlenecks. Our servers and many unseen elements have been upgraded.
It's been a real challenge and as you are a growing community, we'll need to continue to ensure that all your gaming sessions can be enjoyed over the long term.
Thanks again for your patience and support!
We still have a few small areas to improve, and scheduled maintenance will take place this Thursday morning. It will be announced on the home page.

It has not gone unnoticed or unacknowledged and information on this is centralized on this issue page.Lotsa_Llamas wrote: ↑09 April 2025, 23:07 I feel like platform issues over the past week have goine unacknowledged by BGA/Asmodee. I'm getting boot after boot because I get messages that someone didn't start a game only to learn later that it did start and I was booted. I no longer trust the platform enough to play real time games. And before you say its just me, I've been polling the people I play with all the time at different tables and I'm not alone. This is not my network or my computer. Also, if everyone is having to F5 every couple minutes, what is that doing to server performance overall? Please someone acknowledge this.
Issue should be mitigated by now and we are continuing to monitor it.
