Servers have been down for 20+ hours! - Have they been retired?

No words from Codies as usual. Not a word on Twitter or anywhere else.

It happened 2PM UK time, so why was this not fixed yesterday?

I'm having the same problem. I was playing Dirt Rally wager event yesterday around 15 UTC and couldn't upload my result, after that DR just says that can't connect to racenet and DR 2.0 says connection failed the server is not available. Have tried verifying game files, booting my computer and router etc. My friends have no connection issues.

Install the KB3140245 Security Patch

• The first thing to do is to download and install the Windows KB3140245.
• You can do that using Windows Update, since it’s available as an optional update, or manually download it from the following official website:
• http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=fa9ed8cd-16b9-4d90-af7d-98147a3700c9
• This will equip your OS with TLS versions 1.1 and 1.2.

 

Updating your Windows Registry file

• The next step you need to do is to patch your Windows Registry file, so that your OS will actually use the new TLS protocol versions (1.2, and 1.1 as a fallback) instead of the outdated and vulnerable 1.0 one.
• This can be done either automatically (with an official Microsoft-released patch file) or by manually editing the registry file using regedit or our own TLS12fix.reg file.

 

Microsoft Patch File

• The Microsoft patch file is called MicrosoftEasyFix51044.msi and can be downloaded from this url:
• https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-wi#easy
