[Closed] Server Roll Back - 12/02/2016

Post#1 » Fri Feb 12, 2016 8:52 am

Greetings,
There was a server crash a few days ago, during this time i moved the Ark files from a SATA to SSD drive to speed up everything.
I believed there was no corruption but it appears the server crash created a save game which was corrupt, so when i rebooted at 5am it loaded a corrupt save game and due to internal redundancy the last save it could use was 3 days ago.

I have tried several backups from a few hours to a few days and the best i could do was a 3 day old backup, day 1045.

I will keep monitoring it.

Update 12:34PM
For Compensation, please message me in the forum, so i have a list of what you have lost and decide what to compensate, dinos will not be compensated (unless you want a very low level one). If you do receive compensation you are not to discuss what was compensated.

Server is to be wiped at 7PM
For emergencies such as server going down email: drunkmunki[at]gamingalliance.net

Nothing even after your final reboot; simply restarted server and is still on 1045.
Going to work now myself - hopefully can continue to be updated via here.

Honestly as alpha tribe. I think id rather it just wipe then lose days of progress. Seems to be an ongoing issue.

Even the playing field for everyone even if its short lived lol. :)

I believe a full wipe is not the way to go, does that mean we wipe the server every time it corrupts and has to roll back a few days?
I lost alot of work done in the last 3 days, this has happened to me before on previous servers and there is not much that can be done, this is what happens when playing a BETA game.
I suggest we keep base protection on this weekend and skip raiding for a week to give people time to redo everything that has been lost and resume normal raiding next weekend as an alternative to a full wipe.

I will provide compensation once i confirm the server is fine.
As i have to work, i will be on at 6:30pm to do a reboot to see if the server will be fine, after this time i will be providing compensation, I will also be on TeamSpeak if you wish to talk then.

A wipe could be good.

We are only 11/15 on the votes anyway.

It will be way easier than compensating everyone. the list of things we lost is huge. More people would come around to it and it will give a chance for the PVP on the server to be re-invigorated.
