I know we are talking about 20 minutes here, but after all these years you guys really can’t get things to run for a few days without rebooting?

For a mission farmer extra downtime is sometimes beneficial because everything respawns. Missed the days when Ogdin’s Eye Coordination Enhancer was over 200m.
Why would they not reboot? It’s 5 to 20 minutes. Have a break, go to the toilet, eat, drink. Log back in.

Reboot quickly and completely clears memory of any lingering processes. The alternative would be to ‘kill’ processes; and on a large clustered system would take a lot longer to complete.
When your a owner of a game and you run it on old servers that cannot even support tidi without a reboot, you defo need to upgrade your servers,

I’m thinking a couple of crays would still have TiDi problems. Peeps would quickly find that line, and cross it. N+1 wins EvE.

The daily downtime is one of the best things about EVE because CCP can do maintenance at a scheduled, predictable time and not willy-nilly like other developers.
Now, it would be good if CCP also used that time to do these things.
Fortunately that’s not a case of CCP, as they run it on new servers and they indeed support TiDi without a reboot. Additionally, would you be so kind to bring in a list of developers/games where anything like TiDi is used at all? Thank you in advance.
