They’re back! Crashes seem to be happening when the clock hits 13 in the minutes, two of them just happened at 5:12 and 6:12 PM. (I’m from the UTC-5 time zone.) Whatever you guys did seemed to fix it temporarily I think cause they weren’t happening ever since the last update the tech did.
Today we completed purging the plasma conduits and reconfigured the forward shields to better withstand phaser fire. This should also help the chat run a bit more stable.
We will continue making such incremental improvements.
From what I noticed it’s going on when the clock hits 52 or 53. (Least for me in UTC-5.) It’s not like the last one where the refresh was like.. super long though. It just buffers for like a minute or 2 then your back in. Not sure if it’s happened today, but it was doing that yesterday.
Our commando of cyborg operators report that they adjusted the DNA of the server (what?) and that the new phenotype is running stable now. They continue monitoring for anomalies and the probable rise of sentient AI, heralding the dawn of a new era and the twilight of our species. (Good thing that the cyborgs are on our side and never require sleep!)
Just a data point: Venus has crashed today at the following times, and almost certainly more. Dunno if there's some hourly background job that's killing it or a memory leak, but it's pretty disruptive. All times EST, US east coast....

It just crashed on the 39 minute. They are needing to sort it out. Someone needs to put money into the meter or something
