Every time I attempt to edit my game this error pops up

Service Unavailable

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

Anyone have a way to fix this.

They just switched to a new server three days ago.

There's a thread in Game Announcements; it's been throwing the error since the 15th, but there's been no official reply/explanation as of yet.

This may not be of any help, but, if you have Windows, you should be able to download and install the desktop version. From there, you can go to your game creation page and download the game file. Then, open that file with notepad or some other text editor, then copy and paste the content into the code view of a newly created game in the desktop version of Quest.
After that, you can edit and publish your game, but you'd have to upload it to the site in an extra step.

NOTE: You won't be able to transfer the changes you make in the desktop app to your online version. (Or, if you can, I couldn't find out how to do it.)

If you don't have Windows (or just plain don't wish to install anything), I'm sorry to have mentioned it.


HK is correct. You can't download either. (I probably should have checked that before advising it.)

if the server is down, you may not be able to download your game as well, depends if they got different servers for different tasks.

We transferred to a new team (as the creator of quest has moved on with his life having been developing quest for about a decade), so the new person in charge of the servers/online/web stuff, is just dealing with getting it all up to speed and etc, so just be patient.

We're still in transition, so there's going to be some 'hiccups' for awhile with the servers/online/web stuff.
