DNS Server Issues in Mafia Wars

Share:

UPDATE: This is happening on and off today. With a new destination on the way we can expect errors to happen. A workaround to this issue can be found here or you can just wait it out (thanks to Richard Styles for the link.


About 9 days ago the Official Mafia Wars Blog experienced DNS (Domain Name System) issues and was offline for a short time [1]. Earlier today this happened again but the game was offline. Our fan page blew up with players reporting they could not access the game. Fortunately this has been resolved and didn’t last very long. For those who are curious DNS a service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Without this, the DNS server doesn’t know how to translate an IP address into a domain name and your browser won’t know where to go.

  1. Could this be why I suddenly lost 30k in stamina a few minutes ago in Assasinator within seconds without advancing in XP?

  3. Now getting "server not found" error - also affecting Farmville, so Zynga must have their server down. Wonder if we will get any time extensions for this one.

  8. It is still down for me and I also wonder if Zyanga will give extra time back to those who cannot access game. They have to much going on and then you cannot access game to do them.

  9. Server not found

    Firefox can't find the server at facebook-ca2.mafiawars.zynga.com.
    This is why I'll NEVER pay Zynga anything to play their games! They can't keep them working...
