I can try to host in the meantime, I've set up an RB Mod 2.0.6.4 test pitboss game here:

spacetyrantxenu.no-ip.org:2057

If some of you guys can try to connect and post back here letting me know you're able to connect maybe we can play on for a few days. If it doesn't work...nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm going to be away from home for several hours so if it looks like it will work then later today I can try to get the save hosted.

I cannot connect to that address, but can connect to spacetyrantxenu.no-ip.org:2056
Current games (All): RtR: PB80 Civ 6: PBEM23

Ended games (Selection): BTS games: PB1, PB3, PBEM2, PBEM4, PBEM5B, PBEM50. RB mod games: PB5, PB15, PB27, PB37, PB42, PB46, PB71. FFH games: PBEMVII, PBEMXII. Civ 6:  PBEM22 Games ded lurked: PB18

That address has worked fine for me previously, haven't checked today but it should be just fine.

Also, thanks for stepping up on the donations guys. I continue to be amazed by the generosity of this community, whether in terms of sharing resources, knowledge, or time. heart

Ha, no idea what happened there. I definitely launched the shortcut to spawn the pitboss instance on 2057. Whatever 2056 it is. lol

Just got to the beach so I'll be away a while. shades

I should be able to get the games up tonight or tomorrow by using only the system disk. The SSD is only 60GB though, so it's definitely not a long term solution for anything except the OS itself. I should get the new HD next week, as I wrote earlier, so I will shuffle the files around then to their proper locations.
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"

Just curious, how much disk space does a PB game like this one consume? (Also wondering if a game is noticeably faster running off an SSD, though it seems unlikely that disk access would ever be the bottleneck instead of the network.)

On a big map late in the game the saves can be a few MB in size, but unless you have the server configured to keep a whole lot of the old saves that need not be a big problem. Loading off a SSD helps but network is more of a concern for sure.
