    Great ... I just got kicked out of my Endeavor TFO and can't get back in .... This is very annoying...

    After getting kicked at 8:42 I find out about the emergency maintenance. If I had known about it I wouldn't have started a TFO ......

    Hey guys the server was brought down for some emergency maintenance. Keep an eye on the twitter accounts and stuff for more information. I'm not sure what all they're doing but hopefully that should fix the issues. Keep adding your names to the list and stuff. I'll keep monitoring this thread as I'm sure the devs will as well. Let's see what this down time does and if folks keep having issues afterwards I'll let them know.

    I just realized that the times when it failed to connect, UAE didn't prompt me for approval. Restarted the launcher as admin and I'm in. Your mileage may vary...
