Whats does that mean and what can be done about it? Seems every time I get a chance to play this game this happens.

A Denial-of-service attack is basically overloading the processing server with too much data, causing it to crash or lag. In this case, the hacker is trying to overload the PR mumble server, causing us to not get a connection.

As far as I know, not much can be done to prevent it, unless the server host wants to put passwords on servers or block out all traffic.

It's been happening for the past week on a daily basis now, the fact that you're experiencing this is purely bad luck.

I have never experienced this problem two days in a row.

Its now been three days for me. PRBF2 seems to lack something when mumble doesn't work =/

my mumble has been down for 2 days also.

We are aware of the situation and will try to find a solution.

3 days Mumble needs to get its shit back together again..

Why would anybody want to crash the mumble server anyway?
