freecomkcf Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 i probably don't need to explain the Heartbleed bug to all of you, but for those who are too lazy to Google it, basically "2/3rds of the Internet" is now compromised because of a computer science 101 coding mistake in OpenSSL, a widely-used security library. is the downtime in response to this security incident? i hope it is, because i'm getting sick and tired of changing passwords right now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianherman Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Are you using 1.7.6 or 1.7.7 because I don't think those are compatible with the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roastnewt Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) No, it's not. Minecraft version 1.7.7 was released today, and your client must've automatically updated. The nerd servers have not yet updated, so 1.7.6/1.7.7 clients cannot connect. If you want to connect to the nerd servers, you'll have to downgrade to 1.7.5 at least.

coolgamerovr90 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Never heard of "HeartBleed", most of the sites I go to use Microsoft's IIS SSL, so that's probably why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Parade Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 hm... well doing that will just defeat the purpose of me even changing my Minecraft password, so i think i can hold off for a bit Uh, would it? I'm pretty sure that passwords have nothing to do with the game version. Passwords are probably launcher/server-based, which has nothing to do with the actual game version.

The actual game doesn't use OpenSSL. The launcher and/or the servers use OpenSSL, but the game does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The launcher and/or the servers use OpenSSL, but the game does not. uh... isn't that kinda the whole point of updating the launcher in the first place? can't get to the game without signing in to the launcher, and if it's using heartbleed-vulnerable OpenSSL then... yeah. heartbleed is client-side as well as server-side.

erdtzac_ Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) It's the game itself, not the launcher, that got updated. The vulnerability mentioned exists (e: used to exist) in server-side software and has nothing to do with your client.

totemo Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Would it be worth pinning a short post on connection issues at the top of the Problems & Issues forums section? The post could cover: client updating (protocol changes), the current server versions and what clients are therefore able to connect (this text to be updated when the server updates). problems with Mojang's login and session servers, with a link to http://xpaw.ru/mcstatus/ That post would also be linked under the heading Connecting, subheading Problems? in the sidebar of the subreddit.

Pyr0mrcow Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Definitely, good to have some sort of general info available to cover basic questions. Lot of servers do it in banners, but depending on if you've got a graphics guy or not that could be annoying to keep updated, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldieboo Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 When are the servers going to be updated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
