backend server not available

Game: freecell
Game #: 760317531

Please describe the problem in detail:

The following message has repeatedly come up with virtually every game in the last ten days:

'You beat the game!

Error!

Your game was saved successfully but the high scores could not be loaded. (Backend server is not available)'

Might you persuade that 'backend server' to make itself available? Otherwise, there's small point in playing.

  • The back end server needs to be repaired or replaced. It's not big enough to handle all the activity, all the people and all the games being played, on this site. David and Jim, the owners of this site, are working on this, but it takes time, effort, and expense, to either repair or replace it. Hope this answers your question. :smile: https://www.reference.com/technology/back-end-server-d4d0f1b851cd7424

    "Yes. We are working on it. The current status is we're waiting on a disk to arrive so that we can move the database to a faster machine. Our database is so big that it takes almost a day to replicate the data. It's also so big that pricing for having someone else host it for us is unacceptably high. So we have to build everything ourselves and it's slow going." -David, March 27
