Could not connect to BE Master. Update Attempt Failed

[BigEgg]

Overnight either my server broke or there is a problem on my end. I get stuck on the waiting for authentication bar and never get past it. I run on a VPS and in my BEC box and my server box it says it couldn't connect to BE Master and that the Updated Attempt failed. I dont know if it is throwing this error for me whenever I connect or if it is the server having a problem. Any help would be great :)

My DaRT windows have been reporting this all day and the servers are still up and running. I would be looking somewhere else for a problem.

The server runs but nobody can connect. No errors at all. Everything was working perfectly the night before. Have no clue what to do.

BE master server is under a DDOS attack, this won't break your server or stop players joining, it just means it won't get an update.

Your problem lies elsewhere, check your RPT logs

After reviewing the log files that i had backed up from 24 hours prior I found that I had accidentally removed the $PREFIX$ file. Thanks for the info on the DDOS attack Richie :)
