Hi all,

I've been visiting the Round1 in Concord, CA to play Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5 for the past month or so. I was able to purchase a Banapassport card there and was able to use it on their machines to create a profile and save my cars.

Unfortunately, when I was playing there last weekend, they started having some network problems and the machines lost the connection to the Banapassport/NBline server(s). I was not able to save my progress and ended up going home early.

Today I visited the Round1 again to see if I could finally play Maximum Tune 5 with my Banapassport card again. Unfortunately, when I got there, all the machines were still disconnected from the server.

I spoke to several of the attendants there and they told me that it's not a problem on their end, and that the problem is on the Banapassport/NBline server's side. They told me the servers have been offline for the past few days.

Can anyone else confirm if this is true? Is round1 telling the truth, or did they just screw something up with their own network?

Please let me know. I'm kind of upset as it took about an hour to drive out there only to be disappointed. Next time I'll probably call in advance to ask them.

Don't think much people still use this site anymore, but the servers are for sure 100% online. So the problem is on Round 1 Concords end. Sounds like you would probably need to take a further drive to play the game at a different venue.

Hey thanks for heads up. I actually found that thread earlier and called some of the places nearby. The Golfland spot told me the machines are working fine on their end, so it's clearly Round1 which I kinda suspected to begin with.

Just out of curiosity, how are you checking if the servers are up? Is there some information on them somewhere?

The namco website would say if they're down or doing maintenance on the servers.

Plus no one else has reported the game being down.

Good and Nice one?
