What portals are you three using?
Middleware upgrades have been done on Portals 2 and 3. That might be the reason you are seeing STB Blocked or possible connection issues, you may have to go check your donation and make sure your MACs are set correctly.
I'm on server 2. Switch portals, change Mac and reset?
The person who brought it to my attention believes that upgrade for Portal 2 happen today. So you could try changing to another portal for the time being, but keep in mind that the rest of the portals will be updated within the next couple of days to weeks, and this whole situation may be on repeat for a couple of days. For now you can try Portal 1, 4, and 5 as they are still on Stalker Middleware 4.9.22.
Check your donation and make sure your MAC was Zero'd or changed in the process. You are likely experiencing this because of the upgrades. So switch portal or wait it out are my suggestions.
I can confirm it is working now. Did a portal change, changed the MAC, did a donation reset and boom. Works again. I would advise some patience when loading the server. It does take a bit.
Changed the portal from 3 to portal 1 and problem fixed for now. Thank you TheGame15.
thanks for heads up no one told us about that are they doing all this for new stuff coming up
Thanks for the feedback! The portal change to 4 helped me get back on track.
Any idea if STB Emu will continue to work?
